The Husqvarna 435 II is a light, 40cc all‑round chainsaw designed for garden, smallholding and landscaping tasks. It combines a high‑torque X-TORQ® engine with LowVib® anti‑vibration and practical service features such as a flip‑up fuel cap, quick‑release air filter and side‑mounted chain tensioner. As an installer, I recommend it where you need a capable, easy‑to‑maintain saw for part‑time use.
Lightweight, capable performance
With a compact 40.9 cm³ engine and a relatively low weight (4.2 kg without cutting equipment), it delivers a useful power-to-weight balance for pruning, firewood and small tree work.
Comfort for extended use
LowVib® anti‑vibration dampeners and an ergonomic rear handle reduce vibration transmission to hands and arms, making longer jobs less tiring.
Reliable starting and easy refuelling
Combined start/stop switch, fuel pump and the air purge system simplify cold starts. The flip‑up fuel cap is quick to open even when wearing thick gloves.

FAQs
How many CC is a Husqvarna 435 II?

How much does a Husqvarna 435 II weigh?

Is a Husqvarna 435 II a Pro saw?
No, the Husqvarna 435 II is not classified as a professional chainsaw. It belongs to Husqvarna’s 400-series, which offers higher performance, improved ergonomics, and more advanced features compared to chainsaws in the 100–300 series. The 400-series is designed for users who need reliable power and durability for regular and demanding tasks, without the specifications of a fully professional saw.
Is the 435 II easy to start?
Yes. The combined start/stop switch, integrated fuel pump and air purge system make starting reliable and reduce the effort needed for cold starts.
What bar length should I use with this saw?
The recommended bar length is 33–45 cm. The saw is supplied with a 38 cm bar, which suits most garden and smallholding tasks. Choose a shorter bar for pruning and a longer bar within the recommended range for larger logs, but avoid over‑sizing the bar for the engine.
Can I use the 435 II for professional forestry work?
The 435 II is classified as a part‑time use chainsaw. It has durable components, such as a three‑piece crankshaft, but it’s intended for occasional heavy use rather than continuous professional felling. For full‑time professional forestry work choose a larger professional model.
