Just wanted to post for others looking for a saw to use as a guide.
Just had my Husqvarna 435 chainsaw looked at as it was stopping hard as soon as I got off the throttle. Turns out the piston and cylinder are all scratched up. His first opinion is I over worked it for its intended use. It's 1 year old tomorrow and has cut near 10 cord timber in that time. He mentioned wrong oil mix could cause it also(husqvarna oil used and measued everytime so in my mind no), or debris getting into cylinder(?).
His suggestion for me is an echo 450 or 500. Any and all suggestions for a new saw are welcome. 10 cord per year will be the usage base.
