How To Read Husqvarna Model Tags: Year Made From The Serial Number

Husqvarna chainsaw serial numbers are read differently depending on when they were made.

We have a list of Husqvarna Chainsaw production years, but if you want to know the exact year your specific saw was made, you’ll find that information in the serial number.

This is how to read Husqvarna serial tags to determine the date it was manufactured.

Dating Husqvarna Saws Made After 1996

Saws that were produced after 1996/1997 (ish), like my Husqvarna 450e II, are easy to read – with the e meaning e-series.

Chainsaws with the new serial numbers are either 9 or 11 digits long – if they’re shorter then they’re using the old system covered further below.

You can see the serial number of my saw is 11 numbers long: s/n 2017 3800315

This saw was made in 2017 in the 38th week of the year.

The final digits are the sequential production/production number. In the case of my saw, it was the 315th off the line that week.

Sometimes the serial number on saws made after 1999 will only be 9 digits long. These saws have just had the “20” removed from the front. So my saw would be 17 3800315 where the 17 means 2017 (to state the obvious).

To put it again more clearly:

[2017][38][00315]

[Year][Week of the year][Production number]

And the other names and numbers displayed on the tag are the model name and product numbers.

All Husqvarna outdoor power equipment made after 1999 have serial numbers that are read the same way, from string trimmers and lawn edges to pole saws and power cutters.

Older saws, which we’ll get into next, can be a little more complicated to date…

Dating Pre-1996 Husqvarna Saws

Next up is my neighbor’s Husqvarna 262 XP with the 8-digit serial number 0450855.

This translates to made in the year 1990, 45th week, 855th saw produced that week.

I know that the 262 was made between 1990 and 1996, so that helps me to rule out it being made in 1980 or 2000, plus I know that the tags or serial number format was different at those times as well.

Early 80s saws had silver tags, late 80s and onwards had black tags, and late 90s and onwards had 9 or 11-digit numbers.

You can see the silver model and serial number tag on this old Husqvarna 50 Rancher from the early 80s – unfortunately, I didn’t get a close-up shot of the tag, but it looks a bit unreadable anyway.

Prior to 1982 the dating format on serial numbers was less clear.

However, on these saws you can “look on the starter, top cover, etc., for date stamps, which will tell you the year it was built, supposing all the parts are original,” as shared by a moderator of the Husqvarna Chainsaws FB group.

For very old Husky saws, you can also:

• Check the original manual, if available (it will have the year the saw was made)
• Check the date on the crankshaft near the connecting rod
• Ask in the FB groups or forums – people can narrow it down by looking at the features of the saw

Most Husqvarna saws have small metal tags but a few only came with a sticker. The Husqvarna 136 and its bigger brother, the 141, both only have sticker serial number tags, for example. These are Poulan-made saws which is probably the reason for the difference.

Other Things To Keep In Mind

There are some other complicating factors that come into play when trying to find out what year your Husqvarna chainsaw was made.

One of these which I learned from the post above (Husqvarna Chainsaw FB group) is that different factories can have different tags.

The number on the saw above is 1997 and it’s a very plain tag without the model number.

Here were some of the responses as to why:

• For a time that series was built at the Tomos Plant in Yugoslavia. Hence the silver tag.
• Being 199… it is just the Tomos with the black lettering worn off the tag. This is most likely Tomos made Husqvarna 61 from 1997.
• We have saws made [at Tomos plant] from 1998 in list. I have been told that the 272 and 61 made up to 00, but we need this confirmed.

So there will be a few oddities out there – just search ‘serial number’ in a Husky chainsaw group to find more examples.

Husqvarna Chainsaw Serial Numbers

Husqvarna chainsaw model and serial tags can be read to determine the exact week your saw was made, and what number saw it was off the production line.

At least, they can be from 1982 onwards. Saws made prior to that will take a bit more research or require pulling your saw apart to look for date stamps on the parts.

Once you know how to read Husqvarna serial numbers you’ll be able to look at them with a whole new set of eyes, so I hope this article has helped you to do that.

Husqvarna vs John Deere

What a dilemma…how do you choose between two well-known brands? To answer this question, let’s start at Consumer Reports.

With 11,217 subscribers, the biggest winner was John Deere for lawn tractors, and Deere ranked near the top for zero-turn mowers as well.

The most popular reason cited: reliability.

Which brand offers better reliability, Husqvarna or John Deere?

By the time your tractor is 4 years old, about 22% of John Deere lawn tractors will break down and require service. In comparison more than 30% of Husqvarna lawn tractors will need repair.

For zero turn mowers, John Deere wins again. John Deere ZTRs come in at a 30% chance of necessary repairs in 4 years, and Husqvarna proved the least reliable ZTR on the list, with 55% of mowers requiring repair by the fourth year.

Nothing runs like a Deere.

Comparing features and price

To evaluate what you get for your money, I chose comparably priced models for head-to-head comparison on price and features:

Husqvarna YTH24K48FT vs John Deere D130-42

Each of these mid-priced models costs about 1,900. How do they stack up, and what do users think?

What consumers complained about:

We checked several review websites to see what customers had to say. Here’s what we found.

The Husqvarna had a number of very similar complaints about expensive transmission repairs early in ownership, and several people mentioned that the warranty information is misleading. It only covers engine and transmission for 1 year, leaving owners on the hook for the cost of the repairs, which are likely to be 900 to 1,500.

The John Deere model had a few fairly minor complaints, but there were no consistent complaints, and the overwhelming majority of Комментарии и мнения владельцев were positive.

Bottom line: The Husqvarna offers a wider cutting deck and more HP for the price, but is likely to cost you a lot more in the long run. The same size John Deere lawn tractor – John Deere D140-48 – would run you 100 more, but offer much better reliability and lower repair costs.

As you go up or down in price, the findings are fairly consistent. John Deere costs a little more, with its top-tier models earning high praise for comfort, style, and reliability, while Husqvarna struggles with reliability issues.

We think the choice is clear. We’re partial to John Deere green.

The best robotic lawn mowers for 2023

Like the look of robotic lawn mowers? Browse our pick of the very best, for gardens of all shapes and sizes.

Increasingly popular with UK gardeners, robotic lawn mowers are a welcome, hands-free alternative to traditional petrol and electric lawn mowers. Because a robotic lawn mower is fully automatic, it can be a brilliant option for gardeners who have mobility concerns, are away from home a lot, or simply find mowing a chore. Powered by rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries, most mowers are guided by a boundary cable laid around the edge of the lawn, which helps the robotic lawn mower identify where to mow and to avoid flower beds, trees and other obstacles.

While we tested models from a number of different brands, note that all of them offer a range of mowers with varying sizes, capabilities and features.

To compare these robotic models against other types of mowers, see our reviews of the best cordless lawn mowers, the best electric mowers and the best push mowers. And, if you’re looking to give your lawn a bit of TLC, our experts have tested a range of manual and powered aerators and scarifiers. check out the best scarifiers and best aerators reviews.

Husqvarna Automower 405X

RRP: From £1899.00

Our rating: 4.5 out of 5

• Unobtrusive colour
• Easy connectivity
• Clever mowing features
• GPS theft tracking

Awarded a BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine Best Buy for features, the Automower 405x boasts a huge range of features that help the mower cut well and make the experience easy for the user. These include, three different start points, switching mowing pattern according to where it’s mowing, such as through a narrow passage, frost guard and weather time that automatically adjusts the height according to the grass growth, and its new Rewilding Zone where you can leave 10% of the lawn aside to grow for pollinators.It’s available to buy as a bare mower, which is then installed by a dealer for an additional cost, or with the installation kit included and you install it yourself. Suitable for smaller gardens 600m2, the mower operates with both a boundary wire and a guide wire and unlike some other mowers, has a more flexible docking station, which doesn’t need a wide, clear space around it. ours was tucked neatly into the side of a hedge. It’s also easy to set up via the intuitive keypad or the impressive Automower Connect app, which allows you to change the schedule, adjust the height of cut, check on the mower’s progress and receive notifications, simply and quickly no matter where you are. As an X model, the mower also has a built in SIM so you have both remote and voice controlled control. Our only confusion with set up was working out the scheduling needed, which took a couple of weeks to establish, and that the height of cut on the app is listed as 1-9, when it cuts between 20mm and 50mm.The mower can cope with 40% slopes, which should suit most gardens. The slope in our test garden has a tendency to get muddy and slippery so at the installer’s advice, we used the spiked Terrain wheels which stop the wheels slipping. Only occasionally did the mower fail to get up the slope and when the weather was really wet we simply removed that zone from the work area. The mower cut consistently well and is very quiet, the only perceptible sound is the whirring of the blades as they cut. It occasionally missed spots on the lawn but overall this is a very easy to use and high performing mower.The Automower 405x is just one in a large range of Husqvarna mowers to suit different size lawns. A host of accessories are also available, including a cover for the docking station and wheel brushes, as well as spare parts, from batteries and blades to wheels. Both the mower and the battery come with a 2 year warranty.
