Serious Chainsaw
I purchased the 440 roughly a month ago. Let me just say....this chainsaw is a beast! I have used it twice in light/moderate applications with wonderful results and zero problems. On the second use, the chain became bound in a rather large tree that I was working on. The chain break kicked in immediately! I was very impressed that the safety features of this machine worked as advertised and without fail. The 440 started up the first time perfectly and runs like a top. I have absolutely no regrets about this purchase, and I would recommend this machine to anyone with moderate to serious chainsaw work to do. I even bought a Husqvarna sticker for my truck (you guys should include one in the chainsaw box).

I have a 562XP so I have the best of them all but the my 440 is good for what I got to for to cut the small stuff. And as a backup and if a get 562XP hung up.

Husky 440
My dad used to be a dealer and I grew up in a chainsaw shop. I've been running and working on saws since I was about five years old. I have operated and worked on just about every brand there is but I have always been partial to Husky. I bought a 440 at my local Lowes (I get a discount there) to replace a Husky 44 that I'm having trouble finding parts for (they were discontinued in 2004). My 44 still runs great after all these years but I figured that it was time to get something that I can get parts for and the 440 was about the same size as my 44. It runs pretty good, is lightweight and easy to operate. So far, my only complaint is that I can't adjust the carb. It's set at the factory. I figure that I'll wait and see how it runs after it finally gets broke in and if it still needs it, I guess that I'll take it to my local shop and see if I can get it tuned under warranty (since it came from the factory needing to be tuned). Overall, I like the saw... Now, let's see if it'll hold up like my Husky 44 and my Husky 61.

Clearing five acres
Had to have a saw that was powerful enough for the few large trees but small and light enough for majority of little pin oaks and the like. This saw exceeded my expectations and continues to amaze me with its easy start, idling, and just over all cutting ability...it removed a lot of the strain and muscle tension that my other similar size saw caused.

chain sticks at times
Almost everything about this saw works well. But when I am cutting wood the chain at times just bogs down and stops on the bar. It doesn't stall the engine but the chain will not go around the bar.

Have not used yet
I have been ill since the purchase of my saw and have not used it yet other than cranking and testing but if it preforms anything like my Husqvarna backpack blower I know I will be pleased. I am giving such a high score based on my expectations .

JUNK
I've had chainsaws for about 40 years, but this is my first Husqvarna. And last... Couldn't get it started... Had other friends try and they couldn't start it...After 2 days of trying I took it back to Lowes and they were great and refunded me.
