Husqvarna T435 review. #chainsaw #husqvarna #firewood #modified #climbing #treework
frrom new zealand im an ex logger gr8 wee saw but we have the same issues with the 120 mk11 here also . seems the key thing is to get muffler to breath better seems to make a huge difference then re tweak carb. i shall be opening the muffler up on mine
It’s helps tremendously. Thanks for tuning in! ✌️
Thanks I have that exact saw having trouble with the same thing man it's really something I tell ya anyway I appreciate the video
I'm cutting 20 inch red gum logs and I have friends with bigger bars and chains and they struggle to keep up
I have 2 120s and I have owned the 440e and there is no difference
Sounds alot healthier
If you modified it , you really cant tallk about the saw
Ok I’ll stop talking about it then 😆. ✌️
Need carburetor work .
Thanks! Easiest carb adjustment explanation Ive seen. Great job!
Thanks Walter. Appreciate your kindness ✌️
Do someone put 1.1mm bar/chain on this?!
The bar on this saw is a 16 inch 3/8 with a pico (low profile) chain.
Maine got huge trees
What do you think of the muffler now 5 months later? Thanks
There is no doubt in my experience that the pipe helps. I notice it when bucking larger rounds like 20-30 inches. Power sustains. Smaller wood it’s not as noticeable. Better throttle response. A sharp chain and a mod like this does a lot. IMO. ✌️
Where is a food,what she want??she is hungry😮
This is an urban fox and she relies a lot on humans feeding her. I did not feed her but she thought I had a treat for her. She is healthy and still wondering the community. ✌️

The first thing I did was disconnect the safety shutoff system.
I’ve been back and forth on doing this as well. My two boys have helped me on jobs and I usually get them to drag brush and chip it. They are teenagers and maybe not as mindful as they should be sometime. I’ve kept the safety mechanism factory for this reason. I’ve stuck a felling wedge in between the mechanism and shoot before though when I’ve been operating it. That works too. ✌️
These chippers now come with a wider wheel stance for better stability. My machine is one year old but kept tipping over behind the ATV so I look forward to the update. Do these chippers have a second grease fitting under the belt guard? How often should it be greased, and how do we know when its full? It says in the manual to grease the rack and pinion but doesn't even show where to find it. Does a wood chipper even have rack and pinion? Useless.
Hey there. The chipper definitely could use some improvements, one being the wheel base. Glad to hear they are wider now. Mine too is about 1.5 years old now. It’s seen a lot of wood. I’ve had the belt cover off, no grease nipple there. I’ve just been greasing the one on the driveshaft. I pump 3-4 squirts of grease before every use. If it’s full, I get a little seepage come out of the bearing cover. The bearings inside the belt drive area are all greaseless on mine. Thanks for watching. ✌️
@@Northofsomething82 Thats odd. Mine does have a nipple on the shaft under the belt, and the machine sounds about the same age. Both with narrow wheels. Hopefully the belt-side bearing is okay because I did run it for at least 5 hours without adding grease. The belts themselves seem a bit loose, and I see some black belt dust around. Are belts adjustable somehow? Or just replace when they begin to slip too much?
That sounds like more than equal to a stock 572.
Looks like a Bailey Bridge from WW2
I have the same saw and i let a friend adjust it so lets say he should stick with working on cars because it hasn't ran right since. Everything was screwed with and i cant find anything on the idle screw setting.. if you turn it in all the way to start over you have to turn it out I think at least two and a half or three turns before you can get the choke to stay out so I guess my question is how far do I unscrew or whatever do I turn that out after the initial three that you have to do to get the choke to stay out if that makes any sense
Hello Sean. Without your saw in front of me I may not give you the answer you want but I’ll try my best. I’d start from scratch. Turn both your high and low jets in all the way then turn them out 1.5 turns. Start the saw, Then, turn your idle screw until your chain starts spinning without you touching the throttle (chain brake off). Now you can tune your low jet like the video shows. After you feel good throttle response, turn the idle screw back in until the chain is no longer spinning. Your high jet will set your RPMs. Too fast, you’ll blow it up. Your choke will only work when the saw is cold. Once you burp the throttle it kicks the choke out. If your saw is warm and you try choke it again, it will flood. Not sure if I answered your question. Steve from Steve’s small engine saloon also has great videos on tuning chainsaws. Maybe check him out too. ✌️
@@Northofsomething82 it's the same saw as yours.. I just noticed with the idle screw if you don't have it unscrewed enough(3 turns I think)you can't set the choke so just trying to figure out after I get the screw unscrewed enough how much further do I turn it out.. didn't know if you knew about the idle screw doing that with the choke or not because I haven't seen anyone say anything about it so was just letting you know just for extra knowledge
@@Northofsomething82 sorry I didn't see your whole comment before I replied.. I had it started and it was running then I zigged when I should have zagged and I can't get it to start again. Ive waited for a few hours to make sure it wasn't flooded because I have a tendency of doing that... When I pull the cord it will give that really high brief rev like normal then after that it refuses to fire... I'll check back after bit. I appreciate your time and help
Thanks Sean ✌️
@@Northofsomething82 welcome.. sorry I just now got on here I ended up with pink eye yippee I haven't had that since I was like 16 that was a long time ago.. anyway I'm gonna try this saw thing again.. I've changed all the fuel lines and the fuel filter and on a side note I had taken the carburetor off and put slits in the adjustment screws so I can use a regular flat head screw driver because I'm poor and can't afford a 10 dollar tool that's sad I love Joe Biden's america NOT lol.. anyway I'll let you know if this starts. Thanks again for your time
hello your pipe exaust it is just 2 pipe sold do you have a plan model
Hello Richard. I used Ironhorse’s design. He has a video on his CZcams channel. Check out “ The Ironhorse” channel. He gives a detailed video on how to make it. ✌️
I just ordered one. knowing well in advance ill have to tinker with it somewhat. Saved some links for a Walbro carb, Meteor piston and cylinder and some other OEM stuff. I have my trusty Yugoslavian made 266 and 770 i inherited from my late father, and ill keep those ones as a backup and a keepsake since they are in mint condition, and i'd rather be busting up a $300 clone than learn to fell and cut firewood with a $1200 saw.
Damn, if you’re gonna buy a piston, carb, head and parts, you may as well just buy a 372xp for $1000 and have a much better saw that’ll last you probably a lifetime.
@@jamesdalme8246 I have bought a new 70cc saw, a proper helmet, a proper pair of shainsaw pants and im still 700€ below the 372xp price. If i buy all those parts i still wont break even with the price of a new husky Edit: also i don't need a Husqvarna. I'm not making a living of firewood and logging. Holtzforma is probably enough for 20 cubic meters of firewood i need a year.
Thanks!!! My saw HUSQVARNA model 340 (year 2009), is working excellent whit power! Saludos of Chile!
Thanks so much, buddy. Well-explained video. My saw is working like new now. 😁
👍 excellent!
Amazing saws for the price the newer brother of it 135 mark ii packs a punch for its size
Heavy for their size though, 435 is roughly same price and lighter.
What Husqvarna X-light barlength are you running in this vid? 24"? Nice set-up!
That’s a 24” with a 3/8 full chisel chain. ✌️
I think where OEM parts are a good idea is when the Stihl or Husky that you really want aren't made anymore and are either super hard to find or too expensive. The you can buy a clone saw of that Stihl or Husky you really wanted and put OEM parts in it as needed to make it dependable and run better. For me I just bought a clone of the Stihl 200t, because I used to have that Stihl saw and loved it when I had it. Now they are too expensive, so I bought the G111 a clone of that saw and I only intend on buying OEM parts for it if that seems like the only way to really fix an issue with it. But I'm buying it because I want one, not because I have a serious need for a top handle saw. But I plan on keeping it for along time unless somehow a miracle happens and someone gives me a Stihl ms200T as a gift. Because that's the only way I'll ever be able have a Stihl ms200T again. Lol My advice for those that have a serious need for a saw, is to buy a Stihl pro saw or the Husky equivalent so you are getting a serious saw that you can depend on. Also I suggest doing your research on the saws before going to buy one and I suggest you go through a dealer and not a box store. At least that's what I did when I bought my Stihl saws years ago. Great video. I appreciate your honest opinion on the saw and why you chose it. I'm glad it helped you decide that you really like it and that size would be useful enough to be worth saving up to buy a Husky version for dependability. 😎👍
Well done!
Nice saw! 😊

Thank you for the compliment. ✌️
Hi May I ask how much you charged the customers on each job and how many times you could charge the customer?
Hey there. There are so many ways you could charge. I give a free estimate. I typically quote a little high but when the job is complete I come in lower than I quoted. If the stump is more difficult than I predicted then I charge what I quoted and no more. It gives you some wiggle room. In my area I’m the only person that provides this type of service(grinding stumps in tight areas) so I charge accordingly. You have to decide what you are worth. My price may be different due to many variables. I only charge the client per job. My prices are reasonable for my area. I know this because I get repeat customer.
I have one of those, it does ok for a smallish saw. I just hate that they seem to slobber oil all the time👍
Yeah definitely some issues with the oiler. Mine pumps out too much. ✌️
appreciate the video . suggest putting time stamps on video for those of us who have been looking for a while
Do you mean time stamp section of the video? I’m clueless with some of this technology 😂. ✌️
I build woodchippers for living here in Ontario. I used to install 420cc gas engines before, different brands like Wangaard, Kohler, Ducar. They all have the same power 15hp. But no torq. unfortunately. After while i switched to diesels. Started with 500cc diesels. Now install only 660cc and 720cc diesels. They have torq and never bogs down. 5 inches trees going through easily. Another disadvantage of that blue chipper. The intake hooper is too high. You will get exhausted too quickly. Especially when you chip larger branches.
Put a big bore kit on it. I think that would make it a 52mm jug n piston? goin to do it to mine real soon
Did you change the bar? My bars inly 14" on the same saw.
Mine came with a 16 inch bar. Low profile
Just ordered one on amazon for $200. Hope it's good. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Get the tuning driver in case you have to adjust out of the box. I have a video on tuning if you need help with that. Hope you have a good experience ✌️
To be honest it's too loud!
Thanks, refreshing to listen to a honest gentleman, I have the G372Pro ,I like tinkering with these things-many similar problems, thinking l will have a saw one day, just mounted a 32” stihl light bar on it.
What site did u order from ?
I ordered this one from Amazon. They shipped it from Ontario not china
@@Northofsomething82 u know what the shipper was or supplier?
@thomasmarshall819 it was shipped through Canada post. I do remember that. The supplier was an outfit out of Ontario, I can’t remember those details. I purchased 3 years ago, didn’t keep the info. Sorry pal. I was fully expecting the saw to come from china and to pay duty but was surprised that Canada had a dealer. Amazon made that connection.
Nice job, good explanation...P/S Do those 120's tend to over lube the chain, looks like the bar was soaked...I heard that was a bit of an issue with the 120...Does it use about one oil tank to 2 fuel tanks like most saws or is it more like one to one...Thanks tons...
It oils heavy but not to the point where it’s too much. I’d rather have it oil more than not enough. ✌️
Thank you, ,I'd heard two tanks of oil to one of fuel which i thought was a bit to much and am going to pick mine up tomorrow to go with my 372 which is getting a little heavy...lol...Thanks for your help...
@happycamper2877 no problem. The fuel tank on this saw is very small, empty’s pretty quick. 👍
So I ended up buying the 135 because it was on sale for 329.00 which is a great deal, I just limbed 2" limbs for an hour and a half no stopping and used 1-1/2 tank of fuel, thought that was pretty good for a new saw not broke in, ran strong and I was very pleased, really nice not having to limb with the 372...lol...Thanks for your help...P/S This oils a little heavy but I like more than not enough...@@Northofsomething82
@happycamper2877 you made a good choice. Can’t beat that price. Happy cutting 😉.
i cant even use my saw for 10 minutes
I like the little saw, unfortunately it seems to slobber bar oil. outside of that, it"s a decent saw.
I just bought mines, is there any way to adjust how much oil is outputted? I love it so far as a homeowner saw
@LegendsParadox hey there. Glad you are enjoying the 120. Unfortunately there is no oil adjustment on this model. They pump out far to much bar oil but too much is better than not enough ✌️
@@Northofsomething82 yeah i very much agree. Thanks
👍🏻
I love firefighters
please make videos just like this and longer
I just recently bought the Neotec version of this saw. The "torch" spark plug lasted less than an hour....LOL. I thought it might be a coil problem...checked the spark plug and it had zero continuity. I too was having problems tuning it and it turned out that the decomp valve was bad and leaking pretty severely also. I'm still in the process of breaking it in and tuning it. I've only used for about an hour or 2, so I'm still tinkering around with it. I'm gonna check it for air leaks with the spray. Mines still tuned a little rich running which is what I want for break-in. Your saw seems to be running like an animal with that pipe on it. I didn't think I'd want or need a pipe since the stock muffler comes with no baffles in it, but I'm first gonna try opening up the muffler I got, and if that's less than satisfactory, I'll probably weld up one of those ironhorse pipes. The little problems with these saws can be a challenge at first, when you're expecting the thing to run well out of the box. But, I bought it to tinker with and I'm getting exactly what I wanted.
Hello Marcel. It sounds like you are having a similar experience so far. It took me some time to get this saw dialled in but once I fixed up a few minor things, it runs really well. You will see a lot of “pipe haters” on the internet saying they don’t do anything but make noise. This may be true if the pipe isn’t build well but in my experience these pipes definitely create a sustainable power band and snappy throttle response. I have pipes on a few others saws on the channel. Check those vids out. All the Ironhorse design. If you are able, i definitely suggest at least trying one. You decide if you like it. Thanks for sharing your information and watching the vid. Stay Well ✌️
