    Correction- Dealer says that, so far, there is no "official" news of a 2153. So far, spike60's info is the most credible.

    Please keep us posted.

    Price on a new Husky 346XP NE, I think, is around $460.

    Nicest little tidbit I came across was Jonsered's revamped model designations. My new, late '07 model 2171 is branded with the name "Ulticor" on the bottom of the recoil side sticker. It seems that Jonsered has adopted this term to designate Pro level saws....2152 on up. Essentially just like Husky's XP labeling. Looks like all 2153's coming over to NA will be Ulticor branded.

    Keep the updates coming gents..........

    Hmmm, still more than the 5100 and it doens't run as good.........

    Good reliable sources say otherwise. they all seem to weigh in about the same when topped with fuel and bar oil give or take a few ozs

    I have always considered Sawtroll a reliable source.

    Guess it is like any other saw, Some say it's good some say it's bad.
    The beat goes on.

    Not trying to pick a fight but when you say "Good reliable source"
    There should be no secret as to who it is.

    If you are going to quote me, then quote me.

    I said SOURCES with an S, meaning more than one. Realiable meaning no B.S. a straight shooter so to speak.

    When one is a Dolmar dealer, one a stihl dealer, one a husky dealer and they all say the same, that kinda makes it not an issue.

    They are not all on this site, so what is the point of naming them?

    Check out that quote from Thall. There is a member from this site. He'll tell ya how it is too, ya know.

    Welp if Stang is referring to what I said about those saws he is quoting me correctly. I ran them both in a 10 inch piece of hard hickory. The 5100 was the fastest every single time. Not by much, less than a second between them. Being fair the 346 is new and if it gains some as it breaks in it may go heads up with the 5100 but I seriously doubt its gonna gain enuff to do it. I could care less myself but anyone with a new stock 346 thinking they got the upper hand on a 5100 they are in for a rude awakening. They are both fast, no question about it but here at this house for the time being the 5100 is the champ. That may change as the 346 breaks in, who knows.

    Thank you Manual - I never said that the new 346 is faster than the 5100 - just that the jury is still out, as they are real close.

    The handling issue is somewhat important for limbing, but not for cross-cutting - and there sure is a weight differense, but not a large one.

    Both are truely great saws, no doubt about that!

    That is the bottom line. That is all that matters. All the rest of the arguements make it fun on here.....give us something to do. lol




    But... and the big but is......the price makes it a better value in my opinion.

    Sure enough - but that is a non-issue to me, I simply don't care about 10% or so price differenses....
