Looking for a light weight saw, 16” bar Any opinions/reviews on the Husqy 439? 8.6 lbs ... Have a Husqy 359, 20”
I have the 435 and 445, both with 16" bar and chain. The 435 has been a workhorse for me, for years. I like the 445, as it's now my goto saw. I've had that for a couple of months. I don't know anything about the 439. Good luck!
Don't know much about them but the Echo CS-361P is a pro saw. Same displacement as 439 (35.8 cc), lighter at 8.4 lbs and 5 year consumer warranty.
The 439 is a strange looking saw. Detachable? oil tank where muffler should be? Skinny muffler beside dawg - how does it connect to exhaust port? Exhaust port aim at the clutch?
8.6Lbs! Dagum that's light. I'd love to check one out. Doesn't resemble any previous 4xx so maybe it's a change for the good. I've never even seen 'em till this thread. Looks like an electric!
Got me leaning to the Echo 361p. I sometimes over analyze , but “Echo Chainsaws are manufactured in Lake Zurich Illinois by the Echo Corporation of America” & has pretty good reviews.
