Thanks for the comments guys. We only do this occasionally as a hobby, mostly for family and friends, so our equipment and experience is limited. I'll richen up the 200t. The big saw is a 372xp, modded by Terry Landrum and used 32 inch bar with skip tooth chain.
I have not posted much lately but decided to share a recent experience with taking down a giant oak tree in my front yard. My neighbor and I did the work ourselves. I only did the ground work and narrated the video camera. I'm sure we probably did not do everything perfectly, but we got it...
Hope you can sell it for the price asked. Sounds like a great deal for someone with a need for all of those bars and chains. Not so good for someone just wanting the saw.
It's been several years since I've been active here. Anyone notice there are virtually no Husqvarna 346xp's for sale on Ebay or anywhere else? Lots of them out there, so people must be hording them. So what would you have to get to part with your 346xp?
These are actually the results I was expecting. The Echo is a real dog stock, but is vastly improved with a muffler mod. Cetainly no 346XP, but still a nice little saw, light weight and nimble.
Here is another comparison of the Husqvarna 346XP and the Echo CS-490 Chainsaws. Both have new chains and the same cutting technique was used. No surprise that the 346XP is more powerful and cut faster. (6 seconds) and the Echo CS-489 averaged 9 seconds.
I retuned the CS-490 and it's now running quite strong in the cut. Only has one tank of fuel so should get some further gains. It's blowing 200 psi compression on my guage. It's a completely different saw after the muffler mod.
