Husky' 445?

[New Forest DEAN]

Me again

 

Given the feedback that a 435 may be a bit under powered fro cutting up 12 - 18 inch logs for firewood, I'm now looking at a 445.

 

What's the opinion on these? reviews elsewhere seem good and the prices is generally sub £400 new.

 

Any opinions appreciated.

 

Cheers - DEAN.

hello Dean

the 445 is just a down rated version of the 550xp so should do what you want the 550 xp is a very nice little saw had a lool and used one at easter liked it alot

hope that helps

thanks albert

if at first you dont succeed sod it and put the kettle on

If you have nearly 400 to spend, I'd wait til you have £520 ish and get a husqvarna 365 with an 18 inch bar. Perfect logging saw.

 

Or check eBay for a decent second hand one, some have gone cheap recently.

I can get a new 445 with 15inch bar for £350.

 

I know the 365 is good, but over £500 (over £400) seems a bit steep for a firewood saw that will only be ringing about 5 tonnes a year?

 

Thanks for the info.

 

DEAN.
