I went to my Husky dealer yesterday to find out if I'd hopefully like the 450. (Decent price, good reviews, good all around saw, etc.) Unfortunately, I held a 346xp too and even though its $100 cheaper, now I can't buy the 450. :bang:
Are the 350s shaped the same as the 450s? Even though the weight is similar to the 346xp, I found the 450 to feel more bulky and heavy . I really dislike the tooless chain tensioner on it too. If the 350 is lighter and feels more balanced, like the 346xp, I'd rather buy that because its so much cheaper. (local dealer doesn't have a 350)
What are the different sized bars for? Is it based on how tall you are? I'm about 6'2" so would a 16 " bar be ok for me or should I get a longer one? I'd love to hear from some fellow tall people. opcorn: BTW, why do some people seem to love 16" bars so much? Heck, the way SawTroll talks on the forum, you'd think he'd try cutting a redwood with a 16 incher!
Whether I go with a 350 or 346xp, what should I ask for from the dealer? Keeping in mind that this will be my only saw for firewood, what pitch & gauge chain would be the best for either of these saws?
Anything else I should try negotiating if/when purchasing the 346xp?
