Husky 440E

[AshleyNeilTaylor]

Just bought a Husky 440E in the UK. brand new for £365 which is 25% discount on the retail price. I realise not as big as some saws on here, but for me cutting firewood it's fine. Already built a saw box for it attached to the log store.

Congrats on the new saw. My neighbor has a 445 and loves it.

just orange poulans is all they are. the bottom crank pan is just molded plastic. good luck getting any serious hours out of that

Sure you'll enjoy it. I recently picked up a refurb 450 rancher to compliment my 395XP and find it a nice little saw.

Great little saws, I have seen many of the commercial crews around the local area using the 440's on the ground, climbing and in the bucket. They hold up extremely well for their price, keep a sharp chain on it and it will treat you well.

My 445 accompanies me on my wheeler all the time. I have had it over 2 years now and it still works as designed, Ken

I think these models are a step up from poulans..a .refurb 435 for 140.00 was a no brainer for me, and has seen some abuse...still going strong.

I guess I like my saws like I like my guns...plastic holding the business end

What does the "e" stand for?

Not sure which group designed it, but there is no direct cross to a Poulan. There is a metal clamshell cap molded into the plastic case as an insert. The transfer port design is very different from that used on the Poulans, such as the PP5020.

Not the 435/440.

The 435/440 are lighter built and smaller saws externally than the 450/445, they don't just have a smaller engine.

It is about the silly toolless tensioner (and maybe some start help?) - and has nothing to do with e-Tech or cat mufflers.

That surprised me. I thought the 440, 445, and 450 were all built on the same chassis. Thanks for the heads up

It isn't like the 350, 345, 340 that they replaced - the 450/445 is heavier than those, and the 440/435 lighter (and has a lower power rating than the 340)
