I bought this saw yesterday because I was told it was really dependable when it's being started and would never wear my arm out... My previous saw was too big and heavy to lug around. I think all the plastic on the 440 was intended to make it 10 lbs, yay!! Your review was hilarious!!

Just picked it up for 250$, canadian dollars. It was on clealerance since they dont make them any more. I know VERY little about chainsaws, but after a little googling. It seemed like its a nice machine. Will keep my eye out for a metal handle, if i can find one on ebay for cheap enough. Thank you :)

22 seconds into the video I noted your first one out of the box didn’t get started. I had one just like yours basically my first one would start, but after a while, it wouldn’t run wouldn’t start back up. I took it back and got another one and that was my mistake getting another one I love their Weedwhacker, and their blowers that Husqvarna has but their chainsaws they can keep them. and this is not the first time I’ve seen views on KZread about people having problems with their Husqvarna chainsaw.

Slightly better lighting, its dark as the sun is behind you. You will be surprised how beautiful a video looks if you can get sunlight reflected off a silver car shade onto the subject or speaker. Best lighting. 2. Don't use foul language and expletives. Your audience extends beyond grubby car mechanics into educated circles. Clean speech is as pleasant and clean hands. Articulate speech does not rely on cuss words - find alternatives. 3. Leave your anger on a shelf in your shed. We all have anger inside us. No need to wear it on your sleeve. It is showing. 4. Look at the camera. Your eyes are all over the place. Thank you.

Most every complaint I heard in this video I attribute to user error. Anyone tearing into the carburetor of a relatively new saw is most likely introducing problems. Re-tuning a relatively new saw also most likely introduced starting problems. Failing to understand how a purge bulb functions creates starting problems. As a final nail in the coffin, that plastic "bubble" is actually called a purge bulb. It's also often called a primer bulb, which it isn't but called that just the same. Issues with leaking oil and fuel when stored tend to be significantly rrduced by simply breaking the seals on the fuel and oil caps to relieve tank pressure before putting it away. Those tanks get pressurized when the saw is runing, Bubba. I've worked on a lot of saws, owned and operated by some really uneducated people where power tools are concerned. Neither Stihl or Husqvarna are the easiest to work on as they are "over engineered", but when set up properly, and not fiddled with by amateurs, always work fine and do so for a very long time.

The thing with this saw, is you have to learn how these start. One thing you never want to do is touch the trigger. You set the choke, which sets the high throttle, pump it 6 or 10 times, pull it twice. It should bark off, then without ever touching the trigger, move the choke lever back to run and it should bang off on high rev. Let it smooth out about 5 to 10 seconds and then blip the throttle. I started mine like this for 7 years until earlier last year it wont start at all. I don't know if the ethanol gas finally rotted the carb out or something is clogging the jets(why im searching youtube for 440 xtorq vids)or the fuel filter, hoses, or primer bulb is shot. I pulled the plug for the first time and it looked fine but I replaced it and nothing changed. I poured mix gas in the bang hole and it barks right off for about a second and dies. Definitely a fuel issue.

I bought a huskvarna 440 on Amazon last year and it has been in the shop 4 times in the first few months with starting issues, plastic clutch cover problems, and after only 6 months of use I had to replace the clutch, clutch cover, and handle. The clutch cover was replaced twice. Never starts when you need it and floods quickly. I think for $400 dollars it should be better quality. All in all I think it sucks.

U must have gotten a lemon. Usually a goon saw. Have a 455 model. Good saw. Is a defect on the oil line on these saws. Over time the oilline shrinks and it leaks oil. So u replace it and glue it. Has been good then. Think stihls are a little better saw. Though the smaller ones seem a little doggie. Have ran a 350 husqvarna. Really liked that saw. Good power to weight ratio. Big saws are kinda heavy for tree trimming. Why i was looking at a 440 model. The new 440 wonder how people like that? Soposedly starts good.

I have 2 Stihl saws, the 14" broke out the chain adjuster, the 24" floods the carb so I ordered a new carb. I bought this 440 saw since I have over a dozen dead standing pine trees needing to be turned into firewood. From Big-R it ran rich and wouldn't idle. Once I adjusted the carb for 6,500 ft elevation it became usable. Nice tip for grinding flat blade groves in the mixture screws, whoever came up with that spline screw never ran a chainsaw in their life. Thanks

The muffler chokes it down. Open it up and it'll run stronger at higher RPM & tune easily. I bought a "Refurbished" 440 like new in box for half price years ago. It had a bad carb, replaced it and it has run like a champ for years. Loosen the oil cap when you store it to release pressure or it'll puke all the oil out. It needs an oil tank pressure vent like the fuel tank has.

Myself (and everyone I have ever loaned it to) have over loaded the shit out of it for 20 years now and there is not one single broken weld on this trailer! Yes, I have replaced wheel bearings multiple times and both axles at least once but it just keeps going! It literally just needs 7k axles. Love this little trailer.

Come on man, I have run these farm use saws way past the intended use. First thing we need to address is you, if you need a pro saw buy one Husqvarna makes them but you are going to have to pony up the cash. As far as the carburetor goes......you wasted your money buying a new one, You should have used that money for a co-pay at your Doctor: got that adhd under control. The carb just needed tunning, not replaced. You might want to look into tunning a carburetor with the current EPA regulations

Of all the chainsaws that I've owned, the 440 is probably the worst of the lot. Difficult to start, plenty of design flaws, and it won't run on anything less than 94% fuel. A major expense that they don't tell you about.
