Would like opinions on Husqvarna 435

Thanks for the info. I think I'll spring for one. Does Husqvarna run a Christmas sale

 

No Husqvarna doesn't have anything on them this year. But that is not to say some dealers won't.

 

I say give it a try. I owned one for a while. One of the 2 arborists that I know got one as payment and he sold it to me for $100. One thing I will recommend is to buy the spline tool and retune it. After I did that, I was very happy with its performance. It settled down the finicky hot start. I even steered my father into buying one for his general use, which he still owns. I did end up selling mine because I found a steel on a 346. Made a small profit when I did.
They're very light and handle pretty good.

 

I've had a 435 for a number of years. No mods. I've had no real problems with it. 16" chains are readily available. If I needed another the same size, I'd get another one.

Ended up getting it. Was a little underwhelmed at first cause I'm used to a 545.
After a tank of fuel I was getting happier with it

Unfortunately it's leaking oil like crazy so I sent it back. Should hear back in a couple of days about it.
