    Had some changes happen lately that have forced me into a much needed 2 saw plan. So my shelves are getting emptier now.... But its a good thing. Especially when this is the 2nd and final saw in the plan :). A brand new Husqvarna 545 from Terry :). All stock ( for now ! ). I even had a twice used 16 inch bar to throw on ! Looking forward to loosening it up.. And doing a long term test on it. If it cuts half as well as my old Husky 350 and 450 ... Ill be happy ! Time to look for some wood :) image.jpg image.jpg

    I believe you will enjoy it more than the 350 or 450. Save up and have Terry port it and you really like it.

    IMO 545 handles way better then a 346. I'd take a 545 over the 346 in the cut too with 3/8 even.
    Owned all 3 545 550 346

    I love this new design of saw ! IMO........its no comparison to the "old" saw platform . Especially with Autotune !! My girlfriend has a 550xp..and I love it alot !! Cant wait to compare the two side by side :)

    But if you did have any troubles with them you can go back to old school screw in caps. Unlike those over engineered stihl flippy caps. ;)

    I was all bent on getting a Dolmar 421...and I still might down the road . But I missed my Husky 50cc saws :( For me ....and the smaller wood I cut.....the low 50cc saw with 16 inch bar is my perfect all around saw !! Plus in a pinch......It will run a 20 inch bar for the maybe once a year I need it !

    Those are nice saws fuzz. Much nicer to run than a 450. I had a red one. I regret getting rid of it. Go ahead and get yourself a total or tsumura light and tough(both are tsumura). They are very good bars. 20140611_201600.jpg
