best chain for NE 346 XP

[chugbug]

I'm getting ready to try the woodland pro 20nk chain on my NE 346 XP , Is there a better choice out there ??? Its a .325 pitch and .050 gauge on a 16'' bar .

Go with 3/8, that saw has enough power to pull a 16" 3/8. For chain go with the Stihl RSC, if you have clean wood.

What he said.

Stick with the .325 , 33 RSC is way to much chain for that little saw.Doesn't matter if you only run a 14" with the 33RSC. Narrow kerf it with Oregon 20LP . [full chisel round ground .325 chain].

I like the 20NK. Holds up good.

You have lost your :censored: mind. Have you ever used a NE346? 3/8" too much for a 346, what is this world coming to??

LOL, still talking like a dumb azzed kid eh 2K.
The 346 was designed for the .325, why would you put a wide cutting, heavy 33RSC on it. I used to run Stihl .325 full chisel on my 044[cut like crazy and smooth]. The Oregon 20LP is a good choice of chain for the 346XP with only 50cc.

I say stick with .325. 3/8 even pulls down my ported 260. Proved it yesterday with a timer.

It doesn't take a kid to know that saw can pull a 3/8 and share the same chain as the big saws. You have proven you were a clueless idiot about the Stihl chain and the .325 on a 044 says it even louder, LOL.

2000ssm6 is in pizzed-off Stihl stomp mode.......

Look at my sig, I got bigger saws to run the full sized 3/8. My 044 runs a 18" bar and the .325 is a nice smooth fast chain for this application. Try it some time before you open your inexperienced mouth. Your not drinking again are you ?

I could care less about the items in your sig, you seemed like a know-it-all when I saw your first post, your types know everything about nothing.

Nope, not drinking and would have to be to put a 18" .325 on the 044. 18" belongs on a 60cc lightweight. I may not have cut 2 million trees but do have enough experience to know what works best.

Been hit in the mouth lately over that Stihl chain? The best chain around!

Don't aggravate 2000ssm6 or he will throw running 009's at you.

 

[HolmenTree]

I still never figured out what 2000 meant when he called me a '' adult horse hockey'', from our our old rant of the Stihl/Oregon thread. That was about the last thing he said to me before succumbing to what ever he was drinking.LOL.

LOL, I know you love those 009s. I wood hand you one, not throw it, too nice of a saw to damage.

 

[2000ssm6]

Simple

That meant you are full of ****. I and others agree......

Good advice blsnelling , now if 2000 can accept it

Doesn't sound like very reputable literature to me

 

[HolmenTree]

Now I know 2000 you put your foot in your mouth advising chugbug to try 33RSC .He wants to try the semi-chisel 20NK but we all know the full chisel 20LP is a far faster .325 for the little 346XP .So we will just leave it at that, LOL.

Good night.

I may not have cut 2 million trees but do have enough experience to know what works best.

LOL...HolmenTree hasn't cut 2 million trees, either. Don't take him and his BS seriously...none of the rest of us do.

He's kind of like Herpes...he shows up, irritates the hell out of people and then disappears. Then he comes back again and the cycle repeats itself. :welcome: :notrolls2:
