Im probably over looking something, but they seem to have the same features as the xp line of saws. Just wondering.
 
They are all eclipsed by similar-displacement and -weight saws that have a little stronger performance.

For many users, IMO, the "standard-performance" models are actually better choices. They are assembled as well, using high-quality parts made to the same quality standards, but benefit by having a little flatter torque curve making them a tad easier for weekend warriors to use. Plus they command a little smaller price tag.

Many of us here on this forum either have the polished skills to make the most use of the higher-end models, or just wish to have the bragging rights that come with the top-end product.

Its all personal choice, really.
 
About 3 or 4 years ago

The 353 and 359 were in Husky's Pro line but were overshadowed by better performing models.

I believe the "Landowner" series was created to offer box stores a better product line without giving them access to the dealer only XP series, but then what do I know.

Take Care

I don't believe the 353 or 359 have ever been offered at the big box stores. Only the plastic crank case models.
 
Sure doesn't make the 359 a bad saw just because it was sold by TSC.

Hell, bought mine 4 years ago online!
 
The only difference is in the cylinder. Dual port on the landowner saws versus quad ports on the professional saws. All are built on professional chasis 353 on 346, 359 on 357, and 570 on the 575 chasis.

I believe they are made by a "sewing machine" company so technically they can't be pro "saws"...if you don't believe me search "husqvarna" on CL and see if you dont get a sewing machine before you see a "pro" saw...:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:
 
Its solely a matter of marketing. Here in Canada the 353,359,365 and 570 are all in Husqvarna professional line up, alongside the XP models. In the US the cost difference between a 353 and 346 is negligible as are with most sister saws, here a 353 is $620 and a 346 $780.

Pro saws have always been known for mag crankcases, adjustable oilers, all the other tidbits seem to come and go.
