The saw that we ordered was brand new in box from Husqvarna never opened, and it said Made in China. then we contacted Husqvarna themselves and gave them the serial number off of name plate on saw and they confirmed this saw is Made in China. The body of the saw did not say Made in China, but the saw is made in China. As we have said before we do not know when they transfered to China this is a 2014 model. Also for example the 576xp professional chainsaw comes with a Zama carburator on it, guess what that is a Chinese Carburator, all Zama carburators are made in China so if you come across a saw with a Zama, it will be stamped Made in CHina. Also, if you go to Lowes and buy a Husqvarna 450 the box will state on the outside assembled in USA, yet it has a Chinese Carburator on it also. Sorry to hurt peoples feelings Husqvarna is making the T435 chainsaw in China.

Mowers 4 less is out of North Carolina. That is the webstore for the Husky dealer in NC. Read the attached post that Karla sent me and you. In China Husqvarna is making trimmers and chainsaws. If you ever order a chainsaw online. make sure they visually look at box and see where it is made, also ask them to give you the seriel number and call Husqvarna and they can run it and tell you where it is made. I think Husqvarna tried to slip the T435 under radar. It cost me $30 to ship the saw back to Baileys, because I was honest and told them the only reason I did not want it is because Made in China, I asked rep. if I had lied and said something was wrong with it would they have paid shipping back and she said yes. Go figure being honest cost you.

Thanks for the post, the authorized dealer I bought it from was Baileys outdoor, also called Mowers 4 less, which is an authorized dealer theirs also Made in China, I am afraid this T435 is just going to be the beginning of Made in China. Did research and found online that Husqvarna is starting to outsource lower in saws to be made in China and to Nashville Arkansas factory.

The first rep. I talked with said they did not know, I told them then you had better find someone who does. They said hold on, came back to the phone and confirmed my fears, Made in China. This unit is a 2014 model. yours may be made somewheres else, but this new 2014 model is made in China, I held one at a dealer and loved the feel and that is why I ordered one, but I would have never done that if I knew it was made in China, maybe yours is not. The Husqvarna was really only a copy of the Redmax gz3500t, and know we have found out the every model of this saw, husky, redmax and zenoah are all made in China at the same factory, maybe yours is not China, the T435 was never made in Sweden, it was made at the Japan. factory.

It makes you wonder doesn't it. I think this is a bad move on Husqvarna. It will hurt there sells. The thing is Husqvarna will not display on their website made in China, so you will not know until you get the unit home if you order online. Make sure you ask dealer to personally check box and see where it is made is my recommendation. I love the Husky line,but no Made in China saw will I be using.

Yes I know Husqvarna owns Jonsered. I have a 460 Rancher and love it. I am just not going to pay the premium price Husqvarna is asking for Made in China saw. That is why I went with the Jonsered CS2139t, made in Sweden.

Got it in from a well known dealer in Calf. on the box Made in China , I called Husqvarna and they also confirmed with me the T435 is being made in China. Way to go Husqvarna becoming like the rest of the county. I also called Mowers 4 less in NC. and their T435 is also made in China. I sent mine back and just bought a Jonsered Cs2139t. Made in Sweden, every part.
