Husqvarna T435 vs Husqvarna 445

This chainsaw has everything a good climbing chainsaw needs. It's compact, lightweight, rope-attachable, and powerful enough for the climbing jobs.

While on the ground, this 12" chainsaw quickly deals with light jobs. It's perfect for trimming and cutting small diameter trees.

The vibrations of this chainsaw are very low, due to the use of a spring suspension system (called LowVib). The system isolates the handles from the parts that are prone to oscillation. As a result, users won't suffer from muscle fatigue while operating it.

Unlike most commercial chainsaws, this chainsaw has a top-handled design, which makes it very comfortable to hold, with both hands in a natural position.

Due to its modest design and well-balanced 35cc motor, this chainsaw weights only 7.5 pounds.

A rope attachment is an essential feature for a good climbing saw, as it allows the operator to hoist the saw up into a tree while climbing. Additionally, Husqvarna offers an optional climbing strap accessory for another $14.

This 45.7 cc, 2.8 hp chainsaw comes with a 20" bar capable of handling all the medium-duty jobs you might come up with. Apart from regular trimming, pruning, and firewood cutting, it will also easily cut up to 20" wide trees. It's perfectly suitable for non-professional household and rural work.

It boasts plenty of premium features for its price tag. The X-Torq technology it uses helps make the unit efficient and reduces fuel consumption. The inertia-activated chain brake automatically detects the dangerous kickbacks and stops the chain. Finally, the spring-based vibration dampers minimize operator's muscle fatigue.

This chainsaw is built from premium-quality plastics, composite materials, and very tough metals. It feels sturdy and professional.

You can use pretty much any available bar length between 13" and 20". This greatly increases the versatility of the saw.
