New chainsaw...

For anyone who's into wood heat, logging or anything else that would require a chainsaw, the Husky 346xp is the ticket! I've had a 450e Husqvarna with an 18" bar for about 3 years now, purchased new. The saw is great and I've been able to heat with wood the last 2 winters. For Christmas or her Birthday, I bought my wife a 33cc Poulan 14" bar so she can cut with me. We've had plenty of chips run off our chains and enjoy working together. She's getting good at running the saw, I'm always looking for something with more power. Last weekend I bought the 346xp with a 20" bar and handed the 450e down to my lady. I won't ever look back. It's still a 50 cc, but so much more power, so much faster cutting and it's just plain angry. They're both great saws but I found my new favorite. We've got 6 cords split, stacked and ready to burn and now we'll be starting to look for more wood for next year and I can't wait to start cutting!

Re: New chainsaw...

The Husky XP series of saws are tough to beat. I have a 372xp that I wouldn't take anything for. Simply the best saw I've ever used or owned.

I was wondering if this would happen... But really, it's an Orange chainsaw! Not much to impress someone with... I guess a video might do...

Re: New chainsaw...

Husky's are great saws. I have an old 288 xp and an old 272 xp that I really like to run, the 288 is a beast, BUT a couple years ago I came across an old 2101 xp on ebay that I picked up for $50. It is a little heavy, but I am only 32 so I can still wield it and there is nothing I cant cut with it. I love this saw. I got turned onto the square chisel chains and they mow through the wood.
