Got it new off Ebay from a seller with great feedback, for $231. I'm assuming that it will come with a safety chain; who on line has the best deal for a non safety 18" chain? What brand of chain would you guys recommend?
Just bought a Husky 350

Site sponsor has this chain dirt cheap and get a buck off per chain buying through the site link. They say it is Carlton chain. I run Windsor as a homeowner, but I am going to give these a try in the future. The site link. http://www.baileys-online.com/WPsawchain.htm

I'm sorry. 
You know it has a plastic crankcase, right? Best of luck with your new saw. They do cut fairly well for what they are.

SO WHAT?.......you'll get bored before you wear it out. TonyM has the best price on chains.Freakingstang said:I'm sorry.

How do you get a buck off?Cut4fun said:

If you use the link to the Bailey's site from here at the top of the page, it will give you the discount. If you use the catalog to order a chain it might be $7.75, but through the link it is $6.75. Hope this helps you out. That is a buck for each chain too.hydro2 said:

Unless you plan to go thru a lot of chains it may make the most sense to pick one up locally - getting to know a dealer has advantages and a chain will last a less-than-pro user a long time. But keep two...
I know they're not cheap, but I buy Stihl chains from my dealer, an 18" RS cost me $18. But I didn't pay shipping and they reportedly (here anyway) outlast other chains due to thier hardness - at the expense of being harder to file. As few chains as I buy the difference in price is moot.
Other than my dealer, I'd order from Baileys.
If I was using a LOT more chain I'd buy rolls and cut my own...
Congrats on the 350! Like the 025 I got recently - good price and a handy saw! Why should anyone care if 'you' own a saw 'they' don't want?

18" WoodsmanPRO™ Item No: WPL 18 20NK72 Chain is 10.95 from the link or in the catalog. No buck off!
Plastic case
I went with the 350 over the 353 for a few reasons. It's slightly lighter, less expensive and I won't be cutting with it every day, so it should last a while. Heck, one guy I talked to on here said he has run over 400 tanks of fuel through his and it's still running just fine. Did I mention it was only $231?

Hey guess what your are right, they stopped given the discount. Havent tried it since Dec 2005. Must have stopped the discount for 2006. Sorry for the bad info, but it used to be a buck off. Still cant beat the price, unless you make your own.hydro2 said:
