Across the reviewers we read, the Husqvarna 135 Mark II is a popular everyday small saw, and high-trust r/Chainsaw owners report it 'will fell and buck 8 inch hardwoods no problem,' praising its slower chain speed for reduced kickback and easy handling. It carries the largest review count of the smaller saws here (4.2 across 520 ratings), and Lowes- and CPO-hosted customer feedback highlight reliable starting and good cutting for the class.
The disagreements are worth noting. A YouTube review in the signals questioned why Husqvarna 'removed the chainsaw's felling spikes' and dropped the included bar cover, a decontenting complaint. The 4.2 average is the lowest among the Husqvarna homeowner models in this pool, and new-owner threads again mention idle adjustment out of the box. Manufacturer X-Torq claims should be read as marketing.
The consensus: the 135 Mark II is a capable light-firewood and pruning saw for hobbyists who don't want to spend on a pro XP model, but it is firmly a small-displacement homeowner tool and reviewers caution against expecting it to handle large rounds.
