Is a Husqvarna 365 a good saw?
Listed as a landowner saw.

Looking at one used, looks pretty beat.

Yes.

I have the jonsered version the 2165, and for what time I have on it, I have enjoyed using it. Most of the wood I have cut with it has been in the 20-24" diameter and it has handled it well.

One of the best things about the 365 is you can turn it into a 372 or 372BB. It will look the same and weigh the same but cut a good bit quicker.

Yep I got one and it cuts like butter with a 24inch bar. You should get it.

Agree

It's a decent saw as is, but the real advantage if you can buy it right is the upgrade to a 372 for little time and money.

The real question is if it's used or abused. If it's a basket case and the bottom end is shot, the oil tank leaks, the handle's are bent, mounts gone, same gas been sitting in it for 2 years, etc, etc you may want to reconsider.

Take Care

They're good saws but if you can get a 372 for not a whole lot more you'll be ahead of the game.

Great all around saw, best saw for the money IMO. I believe that in the jonsered they are considered a pro model saw. I own 2 (2165's)and think they are great

The 365 special is the best of them. Closed ports and a better walbro carb.

bought one, but didn't even run it stock, bought the 372 big bore kit and ported it(again...lol)...just ran it today. 28 inch bar, bull compm square chisel, 8 tooth, burried in big dead oak trees that were cut 8 months ago. just kept spinning and spinning no matter how you pushed on it, torque monster...reminded me of an 041.

not sure that helps....

Some other lucky fella owns her for $60. Cant have them all...was the sellers choice (I must not have been the first to see the ad.).

She would have been allowed to grow a little if fate had delivered her to this nest.

Yup...what Wolf said. If you are doing some work to it, put the BB kit on and it'll run! A friend runs a 365 and its a good saw.
