Husqvarna 346XP

The Husqvarna 346XP is a well made, good modern chainsaw. Very responsive, easy to handle chainsaw. Very good gas/oil consumption.

Petrol filler part does not protruds and therefore must wipe off dirt around the filler hole before removing the filler cap..the same goes with oil.

This Husqvarna 346XP is a good saw for the money. One could spend more money but get less saw. Recommended for anyone who spends a lot of the time working in the woods.

I was considering purchasing a model 350 Husqvarna chainsaw at a local home center for $339.00 USD.

While visiting my local tractor dealer to check his price, I found 2 new 346 xp saws on display.

The saw fitted with a 16 inch bar, costing $400.00 USD. I used it to clear a playground at my church, and I found it to be equally suited for felling, bucking and limbing. I was pleased to find that the saw had all of the features of my other professional saws. Rim sprocket system and adjustable oil pump are features that most small saws are not equipped with. The 346 has only 2 tenths more horse power than the 350, but it is set up to turn higher rpm's. It seems to cut through limbs as fast as my bigger saws, and it is easier on the operator. Although I set up the saw with a 16 inch bar, an 18 or 20 inch bar should work well.
