Canadian Huskies

[YUKON 659]

I think I read (in one of the past threads) that husky's built for sale in canada are built different than the ones for the u.s. Is this true or was I just "reading things"?..... Maybe too many Molson Canadians? If anyone has any info. I'd like to hear.

 

[HUSKYMAN]

Often the Canadian Husqvarnas come with different gauge bar/chain combos.

Also knowing Canadians Husky offers longer bars for the Northern models
For instance the 346XP comes with .404 and a 42" bar
the 335XP arborist saw comes with a 32" Windsor 3/8, etc

Hey Huskyman, not really what I was looking for.... but.... it sounds, to me, like you are trying to get somebody's attention north of the border What do you think?

Courtesy of Gypo and Rupedoggy, here we have Stihl examples of the West coast vs. East coast felling saws.

And the other.

Yes Yukon, you read that. You don`t believe everything you read do you? We in the states let them believe that they are built "heavier" so that they feel more manly. LOL Russ

Yukon...dont listen to Russ...manly...hah!!! We will see manly in July...lol...Good to see you back here...

But Yukon, here in Canada, especially the WEST Coast..our trees are way too big for conventional saws, so we import in special Canadian versions..with heavier cranks, better bearings..you can tell if you have one of these units by looking behind the oiler pump and it should be stamped CDN....This is why all the best saw builders are on the west coast of North America as well....hehe

Here are just a few of the trees I was out viewing today...

Hey Dennis, who's that big guy standing next to you?

 

[Methoss084]

I gotta tell ya, I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I saw that 084(eastern saw) with that tiny bar.

 

[YUKON 659]

Dennis, thanks for the info., that's what i was looking for. I think it is the same info. I read in a past thread (about the cranks & bearings)
Nice pics. of the trees, I probably won' t be posting any of the trees I cut . I'll save the embarassment.......you probably just warm your saws up on the ones I cut !!!!!!!!!!! If I was to purchase any saw in canada,(maybe from Walkers), would it have the heavier cranks & better bearings?

 

[sedanman]

How about some photographic evidence ot the alleged "cdn" marking? In the auto industry they claim every part # costs over $10,000.00 to maintain in the warehouse per year. I doubt the saw makers would produce two quality levels of interchangeable parts! Show me two different part numbers for crankshafts for the same saw, until then I'm not buying it.

 

[John in MA]

There are "CDN" saws, but it's my understanding that it's just emissions gear.

 

[Dennis]

Sedan....

 

[sedanman]

Right! Just wondering how the fish-hook tastes!

 

[YUKON 659]

All right guys, I've just heard from Dennis, and being the nice guy he is ( I THINK?.......I 'M NOT SURE OF ANYTHING ANY MORE) apparently the canadian saws don't have different cranks and bearings. I'm sure most of you knew that, but amateur's like me just got burned . I'm going to keep reading (maybe not writing ) and try not to look like a "chainsawing nimrod". YUKON

 

[sedanman]

Yukon 659, Don't feel bad I almost fell for this too, until I thought of the cost involved to maintain the parts inventory. Also, if the cranks were "better" read "heavier" then there would be possible balance issues if the parts got swapped into the wrong saw. While we're at it, let's dispel the "saws for guns exchange program" too. Ministry of saws my foot!

It was all Lamberts doing.
