T425 - new (?) tophandle saw from Husky?

[SawTroll]

I found this OM dated 2008-03 and an IPL by coincidence when looking at the UK web-site.

Have anyone heard of it before?

Looks like it has a 25.4cc engine, rated at .96kW (about 1.3hp) - cute little thing, but why???

Is it a Poulan in Husky dress?

interesting....

neither i nor any of the husky dealers in my area have heard of it.... and i cant see it on any of the other husky sites (i had a look at quite a few countries, from greece to peru)...


keep up the detective work niko

I believe the "4" indicates it is not a pro saw..........

I am pretty sure it won't happen in the US.


Stihl markets the 192 as a pro saw there, although it obviously isn't - just out of liability reasons...........

When I was growing up, almost all small saws were top handles. We used them for years without incident. Yes, you have to careful, but you have to with any saw.
BTW, none of them had chain brakes either.

Forgot about this old Thread or is that tread? Did not see any of the Russian saw's this time only husky's. If you do the dollar conversion their prices are about the same as Canada. So they must have the cheapest price in all of Europe.

Check out this pos, a 25cc top handle, TOTAL junk, plasticy, flexy, vibrating nasty, nasty, nasty quality, the fuel cap threads jam tight upon unscrewing or tightening, the carb held in by 2 skinny philips screws, the cylinder fins as thin as tinfoil, plastic panels brittle and thin as paper, everything about these sort of plastic sh*tters is dodgy and cheesy, the power emanating from the 0.9KW motor is so pathetic it's almost unbelievable, these things stall out within about 2 ounces of pressure on the bar - on 2 inch thick branches! No B.S. ! Why any company would produce such crap is beyond comprehension

both my husky/stihl dealers went to the opening of these saws in the uk and neither where impressed....if husky wants to improve there credibility in the top handle saw market the way forward is ironing out the final faults with the 338 and not sticking a couple of rebadged peices of crap on the market...ive been told that not one single person there liked them so hopefully they might see sense and withdraw them before they do more damage to there top handle saw credability....i brought a 338 a few months ago and its a vast improvment over the 334 i owned when they first came out but it still has a few issues that could be easily solved!

Okay Flat-Eathers, anyone ever run one except in a video game? Is it a Redmax?

Ha ha ha, this poor morry minor saw is now copping a hammering pruning trees by a workmate in a forest, surprise it's lasted one day so far, he he he, it runs in a pulsing fashion, the flimsy motor seemingly expanding and contracting like a balloon, I had a go on it too, one tree was enough thanks, I'm amazed the fella did 170 trees with it, it's painfully weak in the power department, the muffler drilled the hell out of, gave a small desperately needed kick, but still the weediest, flimsiest power delivery imaginable, wonder how long the motor's gonna last, ha ha ha, it's straining in an agonizing fashion on these twigs and there's big thick branches on the horizon tomorrow, he he he, the fella will be lucky if the motor blows, at least the torture would be over ha ha ha ... maniacal laugh..

Is that Morrison the same as the Redmax?

Wouldn't have a clue but these cheapo type saws all look and feel the same to me..
