husqvarna t435/redmax gz3500t

[stubnail67]

i have read and watched all the vids i could find.... does anyone climb with it?if so how do they stand up? i don't do but one or 2 jobs in a tree per week sometimes more......ive got by with 2 echo cs 3000 saws time to get a new saw.....the echo saws have been good im only replacing one.....either this saw or the stihl 192 t i like this one as it has 35 cc......i only have about 350 to spend so cant buy anything out of that budget.....

I use mine for firewood use. I cut up to 12+ inch trees . The coil bolts came loose. The coil is shredded but still runs great It is tough! I got 25 + chords of firewood with mine. That's a lot of in tree cutting. I like it! I beat the piss out of it and its not dead. It runs better than the day it was bought! I see a crap load of firewood in its future. I paid 255.00 for mine new.

this is what im looking for... folks that own them.....how long have you owned it......you have the redmax? or the husky version?any differences? great reply thanks...... now if i can get a few guys that climb with them part time i will have all my info......

I have absolutely no use for a top handle but I want one of those. From the IPL the engine looks like a little GZ4000, only clamshell. The packaging is amazing.

I have the Husky T435. I had mine for a year. I wont hesitate to buy another.

I've never used one but i've never heard climbers that have owned them complain. Its not a T540xp so you can't use a T435 as such, but it'll do what you need it to do. I like my 192T but its not one of my 200's or 201 but when used for its light intended use its a great saw.

Like i said i never used a T435 so i can't compare it to the 192T. But both would serve you well.

I cut whole trees over with it

 

[stubnail67]

i like the 192 also .... but im wanting the extra cc for the same price.....it will be a month i will keep reading and handling the saws......

I cut whole trees over with it

thats what i want a saw to pull a 14 inch bar in this price range.....

 

[stubnail67]

thanks for the reply's ya all.....nothing better then a reveiw from some one thats run one for awhile.....

 

[rob066]

The biggest I knocked over was a 16 inch beech. I see it as no difference than using a Stihl 066 knocking over a 7 foot tree.

I see the Redmax on eBay for 226 shipped. Probably cheaper than you'll find the Husky model.

 

[stubnail67]

i saw a few also.... not the one for 226
i will have to peek again

 

[Brettl]

I think it was 200 plus 26 shipping. OOPS, that one is used. Sorry. I see one for 240 plus 19 handling. Still not bad.
