They are much worse, at least compared to Huskys.......:hmm3grin2orange:
..hopefully THALL will give me some rep points (positive), for informing him on that fact........:biggrinbounce2: :biggrinbounce2:
I just tried to rep ya Troll but the system won't let me yet.
Your right there are many worse and of course there are many better,:sword: :sword: :hmm3grin2orange:

I tried you earlier River, it won't let me. Been trying to give Lake some rep all week. I'll be sending ya some shortly soon as it lets me.
BTW River guess what, I sold Manual a saw today. I made him fess up and buy this little hot rod 346xp. You stay on his hide and make sure he does. I'll get one as soon as he does so I got him right where I want him now, teach him to mess with The Champ,

I already contacted Spike about it and as soon as he gets them in its on baby. Manual will have to buy one or sit and foam at the mouth over mine,LOL
Thall, you are da man!! 
If you've never run a 346, you'll surely like it. But, stock, it's a bit underwhelming..and a fair bit slower than the 5100, as you expect. Mod it and it becomes mighty impressive...its torque curve really fattens up as well.
I'm surely looking forward to this new model...my guess is, modded by the right builder, it will beat a ported 5100...and weigh less, and still have that sweet compact package. :chainsawguy:

i'm pretty much with ya, slayer. But, modded a 372 holds its own with a 7900...and has better filtration, full wrap handle availability....and the new 75 cc jug sounds like the real deal, when ported. Got one coming, after Bailey's ships it to Ed Heard that is....
Both my stock and ported 5100's start easily. My ported 7900 does not.....
And, having all these modded 372's and 7900's means I don't use my 066's ( now stolen or sold) that much. But, I have a new 660, and I'll prolly get it ported, though I don't expect it will cut that much faster.

Well to be honest RB I like all saws. This 346 though, I'm getting for two reasons, one to prove once again I'm not bias. I like my Dolmars, like my Stihl's and I'm sure I'll have no problem with the 346. On here we all play and carry on over brands, some take it to heart but to me its all in fun. Now that Manual charactor has been hoop la'ing that 346 bigtime. Now he's gotta stop talking and start buying. I got that sucker on the ropes now, if I buy one, and I am, he has to do the same, if not I get to torment him to no end,LOL
The weight of the 346 is looking fine so I figure for a limber it should be great and it fullfills two purposes, one to make Manual dig in his pocket after all that jawing of his and two, proves I'm not bias and at 10 pounds that little saw ought to be fun to use for sure.

Hopefully, the larger engine will not increase the weight by much, but I suspect a slight increase, still far from the 5100 though......
And that compact powerhead sure is nice, but at the cost of an outboard sprocket - not a real issue on a saw in this class though.....:biggrinbounce2:

hey RB!!!!!
was that a 346 you used in the aimed felling competition @ Sequim????
I took a gob of pics while you did that it was awesome BTW to watch you use the sights on your saw to make your face cut, then make all of your dog sets to set up your trigger,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, then when you gunned it off of the stump and drilled that watermelon,,,,,,, it was very cool!!!
:chainsawguy:
will post some of them here just because you used a husky!!!!!

Me too (on the 353) - it took an hour or so, and a few beers, to figure out how to get it right again.....

Yess'r it wuz...
Thanks for the compliments...but a stick that was leaning right towards my target was like child's play.
It's a dreary day today with rain expected, but I may still hop the ferry to Port Gamble. You went through it on the way to Sequim. There's a three day festival going on there...mt bike race...logging show..... etc etc. http://www.oldmilldays.com/
Cool info here on the town's history. It was the longest continuously operating saw mill in the US of Eh till it shut down in '95---now a well restored town. http://www.portgamble.com/default.asp?ID=1
And hope to hit Deming tomorrow if I ain't too waterlogged.
