Husky 435

[marsonpee]

What's the general consensus on a Husky 435 as a beginner groundy/general purpose saw? Would love a 346xp but at twice the price, and my tickets to pay for its a bit out of my league for a fair while.

I believe the 435 is a bit underpowered but have never used one.

 

If you can't afford the 346XP then what about the 345/350, they are not of the same build but have a very similar feeling about them and they do scream rather nicely - been running a 345 for three years for home firewood and I love the saw - sounds great and cuts fast:thumbup:

Agree with spud, had 350 for 8 years . Will never let you down and will cut anything.

have the 345/350 been superceeded by a new model name? cant seem to find it anywhere. Is it the 353 now ?

other option was stihl ms230

I have a 435e. I use it for coppice work, felling small trees and logging up firewood.

 

I had a ryobi pcn4040 and the 435e feels a much more capable machine even though it is rated at the same power.
