Husqvarna 16-Inch Chainsaw 135 Mark II — 38cc X-Torq, Automatic Oiler & LowVib

The Husqvarna 135 Mark II is a compact, gas-powered 16-inch chainsaw built for homeowners who need reliable cutting power for pruning, firewood and general yard cleanup.

If you want a mid-sized saw that balances performance and ease of use, the 135 Mark II packs a 38‑cc X‑Torq two‑stroke motor, automatic oiler and vibration reduction into a light footprint. It’s designed for seasonal tasks such as trimming branches, cutting small trees and preparing split wood, while features like Smart Start and side-mounted chain tensioning cut startup and maintenance time.

How does this chainsaw make starting and operation easier?

The 135 Mark II reduces hassle during startup and routine use. Smart Start softens pull resistance and a combined choke/stop control lowers the chance of engine flooding, so you spend less time fiddling and more time cutting.

• Smart Start system for a low‑effort pull
• Combined choke/stop control simplifies engine management
• Inertia‑activated chain brake for safer operation
• Automatic oiler keeps the bar and chain lubricated while you work

Is the 16-inch bar powerful enough for my yard work?

Yes — the 16" configuration is well suited for common homeowner tasks. The 38‑cc engine delivers practical cutting torque for pruning, limb removal and cutting firewood, while the saw supports bar lengths from 14" to 16" so you can match the blade to the job.

• 38‑cc, 2.1‑HP X‑Torq engine balances power and fuel efficiency
• Recommended bar range: 14" minimum to 16" maximum
• Air Injection removes larger debris to protect the air filter
• Engine tuned to retain performance at various RPMs

What safety and comfort features reduce fatigue and risk?

Husqvarna built in components to make longer sessions less tiring and safer. LowVib vibration dampers cut transmitted vibration, and the inertia‑activated chain brake helps reduce kickback risk during sudden movements.

• LowVib technology with dampeners to minimize hand-arm vibration
• Side-mounted chain tensioner for quick, tool-free adjustments
• Inertia‑activated chain brake for added user protection
• Centered controls and ergonomic handle for straightforward handling

How does maintenance and longevity look for this model?

The 135 Mark II aims for low upkeep with features that extend service intervals. The centrifugal Air Injection system expels larger dust and debris before they reach the filter, reducing how often the filter needs cleaning and helping engine longevity.

• Centrifugal Air Injection to remove debris before the air filter
• Accessible, side-mounted chain tensioning for quick slack adjustments
• Automatic oiler reduces bar and chain wear with consistent lubrication
• Option to extend warranty to 5 years with qualifying pre-mixed fuel purchase

Who is this for? The Husqvarna 135 Mark II suits homeowners, weekend DIYers and those who need a dependable saw for routine yard upkeep without the weight and complexity of professional-grade machines. If you regularly prune trees, cut small-diameter timber for firewood or need a versatile saw for seasonal cleanup, this model offers a strong balance of user-friendly features, maintainability and cutting performance.
