Husqvarna 345 vs 350

[SkyPup]

I've got a Husky 350 and a Husky 346XP.

Both have Bailey's "Narrow Kerf" 20" bar and chain combos.

I use these lite saws for cutting up hardwood trunks that I've taken down with my Husky 372 with 32" bar-chain or Stihl 046 32" bar-chain to feed to our log splitter for the woodstove.

The 20" narrow kerf is to die for on either the 350 or 346. Cuts like a plasma cutter in brass!

Having the 20" bar keeps the lower back from getting messed up to.

The Husky 346XP is one awesome lightweight PRO SAW, but the 350 is no slouch either! Both have years of hardcore action without a hiccup on 'em.

I've had a 350 for several years and have cut countless mesquites and oaks (up to 24") with no problems. For the price, it's tough to beat this saw for farm and ranch use....now if you're sawing timber to make a living, get yourself a Husky 372 or Stihl 361 or bigger.

My 350 is two years old and runs fine but Husqvarna must have got a bad shipment of fuel line, my fuel line has disintegrated. If you google "husqvarna fuel line" there are several reports of bad fuel lines on both chainsaws and mowers. Have not replaced it yet, don't look like a fun job.

I actually own 3 Huskies. A 350 a Rancher 55 and a 385XP. Never a lick of trouble with any of them.

I have a 346xp and my tree partner has a 350. My 346 has a sight edge in performance, but the two saws are hard to tell apart.
You should get a 350 you will not be sorry.
There are some different types of 350's out there. The Nasscar 350 is what you should look for. Lot's to be had on E-bay
There is a 350 e-tech saw too! It will have a grren gas cap and a cat muffler on it. I would stay away from this type.
We also have 3 huskey 338 climbing saws, 2 - 357xp's, a 262xp, and a 575xp saw. We like our huskey's' their great saws.

Whichever you decide on get a couple of tanks of fuel in it and send it off to the local, (Canada) hot chainsaw builder and you'll never have or run another "stock" saw again.

And with that hot chainsaw you could qualify for the Great Outdoor Games held by ESPN!!!

Or you could get that job done faster to enjoy the finer things in life
