Husqvarna 135 Mark II Gas Powered Chainsaw, 38-cc 2.1-HP, 2-Cycle X-Torq Engine, 16 Inch Chainsaw with Automatic Oiler, For Wood Cutting and Tree Pruning

Bought for my significant other for use around our property! Works well, high quality, easy to start and great value for the money!

I bought this saw to compliment the larger 460 Husqvarn Rancher that I purchased several years ago. The Rancher has proven itself to be reliable and useful helping me with 7 heavily wooded achers. I needed a smaller (lighter) saw for regular upkeep on the property. I selected this saw because of my past experiences with Husqvarna products and the saws lightweight. Having already owned Husqvarna saws, I knew the startup proceedure. I unboxed the saw, added the 2.6 ox of 2-cycle oil (provided with the saw) to 1gallon of gasoline, and filled the tank on the saw. I also filled the bar lube resevoir (not provided so you'll need to purcahse some). Follow the startup proceedure and the saw starts EVERY time -no issues. For those who have not had a Husqvarna, the startup is to push the chain brake forward, Pull the chock out and push it up to the highest position, pump the primer ball 6 times, place the saw on the ground, slip your right foot through the handle (to hold the saw firmly to the ground), place your left hand on the top of the handle (to steady the saw when you pull the start cord), pull the rope-start with your right hand until the saw "burbs" or acts like it wants to start (about 2 or 3 pulls), push the chock down to the next "notch", and give the start cord a pull. The saw will start every time. Pull the chain brake to the rear and Let the saw idle for about 15 seconds, then give the thottle a good "blip", run it up to speed for about 30 seconds to warm the saw up, and you are ready to cut. The brand new saw - out of the box - started on the first pull after following the above proceedure. I really like the light weight and very sharp 16" blade. I also like that the air filter element is easy to access and clean. I'd also recommend investing in a Husqvarna carry case with integral chain bar cover.

Tends to die after each cut. Doesn't idle well. Probably just needs a carb tune, but was expecting more from husqvarna. Overall, a good saw but be warned NO RETURNS on chainsaws through amazon!

Got this for my husband for Christmas. He was so excited. This chainsaw is light weight and very easy to use. He is one happy 79 yr old!!! Well worth the money!

Absolutely trash. I bought this because of the brand. Used it a little the first year. Cut down a few small bushes and it seemed to work good. I’ve just started it back up today about 11 months since I got it. Started up fine. Was in the process of cutting down a few trees. On the first one the chain slipped. Each time I got the chain back on it would not spin. Engine would start but chain would not spin. Put a new chain had the same issue. Customer service asked me to read the manual, then said that I did all the basic troubleshooting so next steps is to take it to a service center. Useless, thanks Joanna. Decided to replace the bar and chain. This moved well when testing before putting back together. After putting back together gear won’t spin. It’s outside my return window so I’m stuck. Will have to pay to get it repaired but will likely buy a different model since I need this asap. I would never trust this brand again. Poor quality and poor customer service.

I'm a first time chainsaw user and have now felled 6 trees with this little guy. I'm working on limbing them all and cutting for firewood. I'm happy with the saw, the instructions are clear and helpful and it's just such a powerful and tough little guy. I think I've dropped it twice (not running) and it's just fine. It is using a lot of bar oil, so I think there's an adjustment screw for that I need to adjust. If you're wondering if a battery powered saw will work, just search Project Farm chain saw on YouTube and you'll see these little two strokes are what you're looking for.

If you need a saw for home owner use that doesn't cost a fortune and does the work of commercial saws this is a good choice. I've taken down some apple trees, and done some trimming of large limbs and this saw gets the job done. Great value!

This saw has been a stellar as for performance! Lightweight, powerful and a dream to operate!
