Which Husqvarna is right for me?

JJay03 · 27th February 2009, 06:53 AM

I bought a new house over the summer from my gpa and the is a lot of trees that need cut. Monday I had 7 dropped that were rotten or too close to the house. 2 of these trees are quite large I would say 1 of them is atleast 3 feet wide at the base. Any way im trying to decide on which husky to buy since I have all these tree to cut up and more! I have a wood burning fireplace and there is many more trees in the woods that need cut up also. Im looking on there website and I would prob like 1 of the saw from the profesional line and the 346xp caught my eye. So im thinking that one or maybe the 357xp. I would prob like to run at least a 20" blade or so.What is the price range of these also? So if you could help me out I would appreciate it.

I looked at Stihl also but think I want to go with a Husqvarna.

Well out of the two you listed the 357/359 would work much better with a 20" bar & chain than a 346. With that said, if you're going to be doing that much cutting, and money isn't a problem I would get two saws, a 346 plus a 372/576. If you do end up with a Husky stay away from the E-tech saws, they have cat mufflers that cause the engines to run hot.

Thanks Andy im looking into the 359 or 357xp. If I get the 359 I think it does have a cat muffler but I would just remove it.
