Hey Gang.....over the last 12 months I've rebuilt a half dozen 141/142's, maybe ten 240's and a handful of 435's. I find the 141/142 platforms the easiest to play with, the 240's kind of a PITA, and the 435's OK. I've cut a lot with 141's and 142's on various size wood, and like the saws for smaller jobs. The one 435 I tried I put an 18 inch bar on, ( I guess that makes it a 440), and it was enjoyable to cut with, and although I didn't try it in wood of any real size, the extra bar length made it easier on my old back. I kind of hate the 240's...IMO one of the worst Husky's ever. What are other peoples thoughts on the baby Huskys? If I run across another 141 I may add it to the stable, but I don't see a big enough weight difference between the 435/440 and the 350/353 to make we want one. As far as the 340 and 345 go, I would just turn them into a 350/353 if one came by.
