I don’t know if this is the right place or not to ask new to the site but here we go. I found a 034 On the inter-web guy was selling told him I was trying to upgrade from my husky 440 he told me he would trade me the 440 for the 034 is that a good deal what you guys’s thoughts ?
 
I cut a good bit of firewood an got the husqvarna cheap but was wanting a bigger Saw and found the 034 for $125 the price scare me but as long as compression is good I think I want it but wife thinks I should not trade so I need facts that it is a good deal
 
Ive used way more huskies than I have stihls, and in the larger saws, pound for pound, I still prefer a husky. HOWEVER, with that said, when it comes to the smaller saws, stihl is normally the better choice and that 034 is a DANDY! Ive got 1 here that Ive had to go through from the crankshaft up simply because it was a saw that got crushed and I wanted to do it right while I was doing it and the little devil is a SCREAMER! If I were in your shoes I would gladly trade with the guy! The 034 is built a lot tougher than the small husky is and will outcut it.

That’s what I thought an was trying to tell the wife

Surprised to hear he's willing to trade as the 034 is much more saw, almost 20 more CC.....I've owned both.
I modded my 440 and tuned, does well and light.

Yep I am surprised myself I think it may be for his wife not sure that’s the reason I am willing to trade it I need a bigger Saw 440 does OK cutting firewood but like a little more saw. I did post a picture of it
 
Yeah I’m probably just going to keep the 440 and buy the 034 no there’s nothing wrong with the Husky was just trying to get a bigger Saw with a little more ass to it ,but you’re right it’s good to have a back up I knew the Husky runs and runs well just don’t have much motor to it. It’s just a hike to get the 034 probably be this weekend But I want to do a compression test on it just to make sure it’s all good before the deal is sealed
 
Trading a cheap homeowner 50 hour saw for a larger mag case professional saw shouldn't even be a question.
I’m going for it tonight the one I’m picking up the plate on top just says 034 an all my research all I see is 034AV what’s the difference in the two?
