The Husqvarna 450E has taken over from the 350 which had the same engine as the 351, and with the exception of the crank case construction and a few minor differences it's virtually the same machine. We recommend this machine to ambitious firewood cutters and farmers. Whatever the job you come across the 450e has the power (there ain't no substitute for cc's) and the bar length (usually 18") to cope.
It's a new powerful all-round saw for people who value professional qualities in a saw. The X-TORQ engine means lower fuel consumption and reduced emission levels. Auto return stop switch, tool-less chain tensioner and visible fuel level makes the saw easier to handle. Equipped with Smart Start and fuel pump to every time ensure easy starts.

One of our best selling saws used to be the 350 with an 18" bar, it was light, low vibration, and would pull well with an 18" bar.
A great all round saw, with the power for continual fire wood cutting.
Now with the 'X torque' evolution we have the 450e. This will be our direct replacement.
The 450e has a little more HP than the 350, but with the 'X torque' engine is a real firewood machine.

Pixel chain is standard for all medium and small saws. This is a narrow chain, but with 'pro' pitch .325 chain. This means a much thinner cut that most other saws. Less material removed = faster cutting and higher performance.
Air Injection is a ducting system that pulls only clean air from the flywheel fan = very infrequent air filter cleaning.
Gear Driven Chain Oil Pump - chain oil is quite viscous, mechanical feed ensures a positive delivery.
Split Body - a lower vibrating mass and cool fuel.
Inertial Chain Brake - if the saw accelerates hard (jumps) due to 'kick back' or 'push back' the brake will operate due to the back of your left hand hitting it. Also, the 'shock' will operate it (even if your hand is nowhere near it). No brake is guaranteed to work, but the Husqvarna brakes are the most effective I've come across.
E-Tech Engines = lower emissions, lower fuel consumption, higher power output (this is the future for 2 strokes).
Most engines between 25cc - 35cc and some saws have this feature. Compared to standard engines they have 40% lower emissions of CO2 and NOx than the worlds strictest standards require (the California emission control laws). 50% less smoke and particulates, 30% better fuel consumption, 40% more power. All e-tech have their own unique catalytic converter and all these features come at no extra cost to the machine.
