Summary:
I would buy a Husqvarna again. You do not have to hunt for a dealer like I did trying to find a Stihl rep. The Husq has more dealers and that makes the price more competitive. I paid $320 with 3 chains.
I have now bought the Husqvarana 326 Pole saw. Runs great, starts great.
Strengths:
Nice smooth starting, good balance with my 18" bar. This is my first saw, but I have used plenty of borrowed ones. I cut on my ranch for clean up and want a light weight power horse. The 350 is working out great for me. I have about 8 gas tank fills of cutting done and no trouble. Keep the chain sharp and it has plenty of power for hedge and oak.
Chain lock works well, just follow the directions when removing the bar plate-disengage the break first.
Adjustable oil flow, chain tension adjustment is just a turn of the screw. Easy pull start decompression button is a nice touch when the weather is cold and it takes a few extra pulls. I have never needed put it on the ground to get it started. I lock the chain, push the fuel bulb twice, choke it, push the decomp. Button and give it 3-4 pulls, (easy to pull) and it fires up. Push the choke in ¾ repush the decomp. Button and pull it again, your running. The decomp. Button automatically turns off when it fires, or runs.
Weaknesses:
Still looking for a flaw.
