Husqvarna 135 16 (400 mm)

Advantages: 1. Assembly of the USA, although Calm 180 writes that too, but recently the quality of 180 has sharply decreased. 2. An engine with X-Torq technology - the manufacturer positions it as more environmentally friendly, in fact, the engine feels better traction at medium and high revs, in calm weather with such technology the model is more expensive 3. Air purification system. Firstly, the filter itself is nylon, and not a rag like that of Calm. Secondly, in fact, less debris accumulates in the filter area due to a special circulation system. 4. The side chain tensioner is undeniably more convenient than on Calm 180 and other similar models. 5. The filter cover is easily thrown off and you can quickly service the filter and change the candle. Calm has the same. 6. Made a convenient control mechanism for starting and stopping the engine.

Disadvantages: If your hands are crooked, then you can immediately fill in the candle. This is due to the peculiarity of the engine, the setting of the carburetor by the factory and our gasoline. The main thing after opening the damper is WARM up the motor at medium speed for 20-40 seconds! Nothing more significant.

Comment: For a relatively short period of operation (3 months) on the construction of log cabins, all 135 saws I have, which is 5 units for 5 brigades, none of them caused serious problems! In fact, this is a 435 saw, at least a piston 1 in 1. For everyday life, in general, a fairy tale!

Advantages: This is Husqvarna!

Disadvantages: There are none

Comment: The second saw of this brand. The first 136th model worked for 9 years with a bang, so when the question of replacement arose, the brand was not even discussed. You have to understand that this is a HOUSEHOLD saw and cutting wood is not an option for her. Regarding the comments in other reviews: - it starts up perfectly if it is corny to follow the instructions and follow the technical minimum for maintenance, - my oil does not flow like a stream, although there are smudges under the chain. This is how everyone drank. Do not store it in a handmade wooden cabinet and there will be no frustration) Well, a little from yourself. Don't skimp on oil to thin your gasoline. Only native. I use the cheapest mineral oil for chain lubrication. NO EFFECT on chain lubrication !!! Kill both the oil supply system and the tire and the sprocket and the chain! For sharpening the chain, in addition to a file, I recommend purchasing a rule (such a device with two rollers, they know in special stores). Conduct those. service is as prescribed in the instructions and the saw will thank you for years of trouble-free work!

Advantages: This is certainly not the legendary 137,142 Husqvarna, but much better than 235,236,240! Convenient: chain tensioner, cover removal and air. filter, excellent protection of hands from vibration, protection of the carburetor from vibration, reusable good air. filter unlike MS180, common partner chain and bus.

Disadvantages: Heavier than MS180 by 0.5 kg., When starting it shakes the entire saw (but this is a feature of all husks.) The starter coil

Comment: In fact, this is the younger brother of the 435 saw, a good handy saw for the household. If the saw goes around in the brigade here and there and it is used by just anyone, then take the "wooden" proven MS180. Time, blood and sweat will check the quality of 135 saws))) I decided to add: the only weak point of this device is the starter coil (you can buy it in the service and keep 350-500 rubles in stock.) It was funny to read reviews about how people burn the clutch, start 3 days each))) Hacksaw to help such! Pulled 5-7 times did not start, it is necessary to look for the reason and not "screw up." A puddle of oil is a feature of the oil pump for all chainsaws. Do not be offended, please read the instructions, contact the sellers, they will teach you how to start and maintain.

Advantages: light weight, side chain tensioner, air filter, engine start-stop system assembled USA

Disadvantages: not yet identified ... only initially alerted the extraneous sound at idle, presumably from the muffler ... as it turned out, the partner who had taken the saw earlier had the same situation ... decided that it was not critical ...

Comment: it is used in construction, in terms of size, power is the most ... it easily cuts wood for the entire length of the tire ... after the houski 236 seemed more powerful, but also a little noisier, although this is not critical ... for construction from a bar on my look is the best option

Advantages: Easy, quick access to the filter and candle, convenient adjustment of the chain tension, economical, powerful.

Disadvantages: Piston price

Comment: This is my second 135. At the first seizure in the cylinder and on the piston due to negligence, I poured gasoline without oil. Replacing the piston with the original 10,500 rubles at the price of a new saw at that time 12,600 a crack has appeared on the cylinder, affecting the tightness of the combustion chamber. The flywheel also died - when disassembling / assembling the saw, the flywheel key fell off, along which the ignition moment is set - a design flaw - the steel key was soldered to the aluminum flywheel on snot. Do not solder it yourself - when heated, the permanent magnet will demagnetize. In short, I decided not to experiment further, bought a new saw, disassembled the old one for parts. A couple of tips from the top of my experience :-) 1. Read the instructions - you won't have any problems with the plant 2. Buy good oil. 600 rubles for 40 liters of gasoline is a penny. The last good thing I've tried is motul - it doesn't seem to smoke at all. 3. The oil should be blue - so you definitely won't be confused with pure gasoline, especially if you have a red canister (and the plastic canisters are almost all red) 4. Do not use oil for outboard motors and snowmobiles - it is made for lower engine temperatures ... 5. To prevent chain oil from leaking out - clean the bar and oil supply before storing 6. Sharpen the chain regularly. I sharpen after every hour of operation - it takes 10 minutes - and the saw and you rest

Advantages: not overpriced as opposed to calm, USA assembly, reliability, lightweight, easily saws the entire length of the tire

Disadvantages: Although the assembly is in the USA, an insignificant jamb was discovered. On the first inspection after the purchase, an extra bolt was found that dangled in the brake mechanism in the cover. The rest has not yet been found.

Comment: Do not listen to those who talk about a bad start, they just have crooked hands. After reading the reviews about the first launch, I decided to first inspect the saw to stretch all the bolts, and a bolt was found in the brake mechanism, which was safely removed. First of all, he turned out the candle, checked the gap, which was half a millimeter larger than it should be, did everything according to the instructions and screwed it back in. I started it according to the instructions indicated on the saw, I did everything as indicated and the saw started up with a poke on the floor. No shaking was found at idle. Pay attention to the appearance of Chinese assemblies 135 or their fakes, they tried to shove one of these saws to me in one of the stores, suggesting that the plant in the USA no longer produces them. Conclusion, you need to buy from official dealers and sometimes turn on your brains and then you will be happy.

Advantages: 1.Easy 2.Comfortable grip 3.Access to the filter and candle with clips.

Disadvantages: Has not revealed yet

Comment: In general, I became the proud owner of this saw. I chose for a long time between Huska 135, Calm 180, Partner 350 and Patriot 3816. I read a huge bunch of reviews and watched 5 hours of videos on YouTube. Each is good in its own way. Huska and Shtil - reliability and popularity, Partner - price / quality ratio, Patriot - price. As a result, I settled on a choice between Huska and Calm (reliability still won)). I arrived at the store, found out that Calm was Chinese and the choice became obvious. Immediately I bought Husqvarna's branded oil 1l, glasses and other bells and whistles. Oil for the chain was taken by the usual patriots, the gallop did not bother. Sawed all the old boards at the dacha on the very first weekend, dumped a dried elm on the bank (cm 50 at the base). The saw works very well, there are no jerks at idle, everything is smooth. The throttle handle is obedient and smooth. The saw itself is very light and comfortable to hold. The only thing is that it is heated slightly more than normal, but I wrote it off for the break-in period. The mixture, which was tested upon sale, was poured out immediately, because some kind of slop was poured (it was started up when checking from 6-7 times and stalled). I poured my mixture (AI 95 + Husqvarna's branded oil 1:50) - as a result, it starts up cold with 2 jerks (1 on a closed flap and 1 on a half-open one). On hot always with 1 in the working position of the damper. The disadvantages of yany have not yet been identified. Only 1 moment - the access cover to the filter and the candle seems to be on clips, but you can open 2 of 3 with your fig finger, only with a screwdriver or something narrow and sharp. And in general, the saw of your money costs IMHO, fill in high-quality fuel, branded oil, clean the filter periodically, sharpen the saw tire and chain - and we will be happy for you for many years;)

Advantages: Ergonomics, convenience, small load on the hands, in general, there are many advantages.

Disadvantages: there are none

Comment: I read all the local reviews and concluded that the hands are just awful. You should not start the saw on the brake, it serves to accidentally damage yourself at a 90-degree snack. You need to read the instructions carefully !!!!!!!!!!!!! and buy saws in normal stores

Advantages: good saw for private use. If you do not cut every day around the clock, it will last a long time

Disadvantages: -

Comment: I have had this saw for almost four years. I sold it along with the plot, they probably still work on it now. There were almost no problems in use - I filled it in, pumped it if necessary, pulled it not completely and that's it. I rarely cleaned, once a season, sometimes twice, depending on how hard I worked. Well, it was always pleasing in her that she was not very loud, the whole neighborhood did not run with wild screams when I turned it on)))

Advantages: easy start, enough power for me. Reliable, I can always rely on her, and be sure that she will not break

Disadvantages: no

Comment: I have been using it for three years. So far, I'm happy with everything. I work with her on the site, not every day of course, but when she is needed, it does not fail, for me this is the most important thing.
