If you are going out to buy your own the best thing to think of is which saw is carried by the closest saw shop, not big box, and buy that one. You might need some service and parts.
I have a Husky 350 and 372XP. Shouldn't be a problem for the 445. The 445 is more saw than the 350. I cut up 30"diam maple storm casualty no problem with the 350. Though if it was oak I would have brought the 372 to the fight.
One observation. I wasn't able to get my chain sharpened for this so I bought a Stihl chain from the local hardware store. It didn't cut well at all. Not sure if Stihl is dumbing down these chains but went to another store carrying the same chain in Husky and after the swap it cut better. Normally buy the Oregon shop cut chain but I have to say for the smaller saw and 18" bar Husky chain works as well or better than the Oregon.
