Husqvarna 365 ?

[Mozza]

It's not heavy at all, its only about 6.5 kgs,I've had one about 9 years and it's still running bang on, only changed the coil and the ignition lead, get one, you'll not regret it!

 

Fairly cheap for 65cc too :-)

Excellent, exactly what I wanted to hear.

 

My mind is made up, I'll pick up a 365 with 24" and 18" bars/chains.

 

Thanks for all the comments.

We used to use them on one estate and TBH if I was you, I'd save a bit more and buy the 372 - basically the same saw but with bigger displacement and a whole heap more go about it.

 

While the 365 is a good solid saw, it just feels like a 372 that's down on power - if a 365 had enough guts for what you wanted then I'd go 357 instead.

 

A 20" bar on a 365 will become tedious as it won't cut particulalry fast, especially if ringing up biggish stuff, whereas the 372 will run 20" all day long on most stuff and have enven been known to shove an 8 tooth sprocket on it with the 20" and it still be OK if you're not too heavy on the rakers.

Just remember if you go to buy a new 365 and it has XT and a decompression button on top in the top cover it is actually a 70.7cc saw and is just a de-tuned 372 XT strato saw.

The older 365 has decomp on side of cylinder and 65cc.

 

There is no comparison between a 357 56.5cc and the 365 special 65cc in the cut bucking. PHO of 365 is 1lb more then 357. Now if wanting a limbing saw I would drop to a 346 for the weight.

Good morning,

 

I don't think I have seen anybody here talk about this model (husky 365).

 

Is there a reason for that?? I'm guessing most people would recommend the 357xp over this saw. Basically i'm looking for a saw that will work hard when I need it to, cutting firewood and clearing small is trees (upto 20" dia). But equally the saw must be happy to sit for a week or two unused.

 

I thought about the 365 purely for the longer max bar length (24") as the idea of loading up a 'rack' of logs for firewood and cutting many pieces at once is very appealing !! rather than doing it log by log.

 

Many thanks,

365SP is a great saw, been using one since 2004 (bought brand new) and has been a solid performer.
