Anyone have one and can report on their likes/dislikes with it? I have a
345, and really love it. But, today, we were logging, and had a "situation".It has a 16" bar, something I would never ever buy again, but at the time, adequate to our needs. I outgrew it, basically.
I cut a hinge with four cuts, and had to cut it from two sides, instead of just doing two cuts like I could have with a 20". When I went to cut the back, the hinge was off enough that the tree twisted, jamming the saw in there.
So, I had to get a second short saw, and finish the back cut, which was enough to get it to fall, and release the first saw. Luckily, neither saw was hurt, but the tree, twisted and fell where it wasn't supposed to, on my escape route. I got out okay, and no saws hurt, but it's time for a bigger saw.
I really like my Husky, and a friend of mine has two Stihls, and an old Husky. For the last two days, he had nothing but problems with the Stihls, but the Husky did fine. It had a 16" bar, which is why he used the 18" Stihls first.
I've seen 455, 455e, 455r, and there are possibly others. What's the difference?
Like to hear what you know on Huskys.
