Many years ago I bought a 036. Didn't know much about saws...wanted something comparable to our old 041 farm boss.
Took the dealers recomendation, plunked down my hard earned cash and took my new saw home.
That saw turned out to be a real pig, had it back for adjustments several times, it never lived up to what I thought it should do.

Several years later....
Ed walks into dealer, sets 036 on counter.
Hi Ed,
Afternoon JP,
Whats wrong with the saw?
Won't cut.
I'll have Jack look at it,
Won't do any good.
Huh?
Sorry JP, it's a gutless wonder, give me something that will freakin' cut wood.
Uh, I don't usually take trade-in's.
Not my problem, give me something that will freakin' cut wood.
Ummmm, ok, lets go see what I have.

JP hands Ed a shiny new 046 dual port...
This will cut?
Uh, "It should do what you want"
Hope so...
So do I.

It did & still does.

Now, I find that I keep my 346XP and 7900 near the door for easy access. I seldom get another saw out. In my opinion the perfect 3 saw plan is the NE346XP and the 7900. Spend the money you would have spent on a third saw on the sin of your choice.

Just my opinion, and I'm often wrong,

:agree2:
It seems like I've seen that plan somewhere before......

What bar length are you running on each saw?

I personally found the 5100 disappointing.

Don't even breathe that sentence towards Biggy Franks aka Gink:biggrinbounce2:

No, not that one I don't think anyone would find that saw disappointing, lol. Well, actually I did. I was disappointed I didn't beat it Saturday:chainsawguy:

an 18" on a NE346XP (non-cat) after it's broke in would be just fine then right?

gotta have a compliment man, cant just have one!! :biggrinbounce2:

I got the 372 for the bigger stuff (prolly 30-40% of the time it'll get used), now need a smaller one for the other 60-70% of the time.

Don't forget the 395xp for the really big stuff.

Than your going to need a back up for all three.

So a 350, 272xp and 394xp should do. Also your going to need a 3120xp.

Now lets talk what your going to need to in the way of play saws................
