I hope that I can pickup a used 359 or 357 now that Husky has the new saws out . I have a Husky 257 which is another saw certain people turn their noses up at . I think it is a great firewood saw . Judging by what people say about their 359 and comparing specs with the 257 I for one have high expectations .

I was mainly referring to the bar lengths that was mentioned, and slow cutting as a result - 16-18" is much more suitable for decent performance.:msp_wink:

Most definitely . It is what I use on saws that size in the Hardwoods I cut . Maybe push it to a 20" if it was my only do - all saw .

But my 395 will out cut yours with the bigger bar and block down bigger wood without using a bigger heavier saw.:msp_tongue: Hard wood and all.

This is an old thread but its back. Raced my 359 today against 365xp the 365 has muffler mod and 28 inch bar. The 359 has 24 inch bar, both saws had new chains and the 359 hands down killed the 365. They were both bar deep in a fir. The 365 has westcoast falling dogs and the 359 has non and the actual cutting bar length is about an inch difference. The climber I work with said its the the best saw for blocking down a tree he has ever used so I am happy.Next we will race the 372xp he he he
Bring that 359 down to Victoria and you can have a go at racing my 372.:hmm3grin2orange:

I plan on racing the 372 at work. I am not trying to brag but after porting and muffler mod the thing really rips.
