Congrats on the new 346!!
And KEEP the Dawgs.
They come in handy when felling/bucking anything bigger than a twig.
Stay safe!

Yup! And they protect the saw's front end!

yep,and they worth the few ounces in weight for even that,do loose a little useable bar lenght tho and when your bar lenght challenged like ST that could be a factor.

Titanium retractable Dawgs are the ticket!!!
!Troll just never looks at a 20" Oak while carrying the 346, and figure "Why walk all the way to the truck for the 372?"
He dosn't have to.
Stay safe!

Mowoodchopper, does your 385 fall over? Mine never did.
Nope mine dosent fall over! My 372 didnt, only the 346, 345, 350 and 450 thats the ones I remember that seemed to fall over. All good saw but just fall over!

Agreed ,keep the dogs! A saw with out dogs is worthless to me unless its a top handle.

It'll be interesting to see your thoughts on comparison.
Don't hate me because my saw is beautiful.
Thanks, everyone! All I can say is what an amazing saw!!
And, I love the hat, too. :hmm3grin2orange:
Nice saw, even if it has a primer bulb on it.
I had my 353 out yesterday, what nice handling little saws they are. I love em.

Great looking saw! I`ve yet to cut with one, I`m afraid to, I`ve got too many Stihls to switch now. LOL

One saw isn't a brand switch! :biggrinbounce2:
you CAN own more than one brand lol. ill may have a preference but im not hardcore brand loyal. till the day comes i get given free saws by from a company i see no reason to limit myself to one brand.

361 is the best in its class, but i find little need for that class of saw (i did run mine a good bit saturday; decided it needs a MM if i keep it).
200T is the cat's meow in top-handle saws.

sadly I only put a couple tanks thru the 5100 and the 346. the husky seems to handle a little better but feels a little "buzzy" to me. the dolmar feels more solid and smooth. they will both live here for a while so time will tell a clear winner

If I had to pick a best from each class IMO, they would be:
MS200T, 346xp, ms361, Dolmar 7900, MS660, MS880.
Thats based on saws I've ran only, but thats my "wannabe" lineup I reckon.

Could be but my CAD is going to have to get pretty bad before I add a top handle saw!

The 60cc class happens to be very useful here, 70cc is mostly over-kill.
