With the 5100 being more powerful and better built, I doubt it.
I guess what i should have said is.....I have both and I know which one I like best. There Thats a nicer way of putting it.
The important difference is how they handle in the woods (not just at the wood-pile), and the Husky sure is the winner there.....
A stock 361 beat a ported 346 at the GTG so what ya got to say about that?:jawdrop: :jawdrop:
I love the 361 but out of all my saws, it doesn't get used much.
My foot is due for surgery November the 11th (just got the message)- so hopefully next year will be more like normal.......
the 346 has a much better reliability record than the dolmar if im not mistaken.
really, i must have missed that.
mighty strange how between all of mine and your saws we both think the 361 needs to be the first one to go.

I didn't open the video's but I'm sure it was not Don's 361, that ran a 11.7 to your 346's 13.0. Pretty bad a muffler modded 361 beat a ported "stock" 346.
K, so the saw wasnt stock.
His saw had a muffler mod, according to you, that is all your 346 had. I don't consider a muffler mod and a ported saw to be in the same ball game.
So for very little more weight and more power, the 5100 seems to be the better choice.
BS, the Dolmar's hold up just as well. The 5100 and 346 have different uses, the 346 being a limber while the 5100 is a bucking/felling saw. So for very little more weight and more power, the 5100 seems to be the better choice.
.....
seem your unable to tell the difference if you thought both our saw where stock...
:monkey:
Except that their power is about identical.

LOL.
Just admit the 5100 is the better saw.

I'd MUCH rather have a NE 346XP than a 5100 for bucking.
Just a little return fire for the Stihl bashing.
Has anybody actually changed from a cat muffler to a non cat muffler? How did you do it? Was any performance gains noticed? I have a new 353 E-tech and it runs so good that I would be concerned about a performance drop. The two areas I am thinking about is throttle response and exhaust emissions. I like the fact that there is almost no petroleum smell with this saw at all. I do run the Husqvarna veggie bar oil.
