I have not seen any sub 10 lb saws unless you go way back to the pioneers, and videos of their performance are uninspiring. Is there anything out there in the 10-10 3/4 pound range that really stands out?
All the spec sheets I have seen for the 346xp say 11 lbs.Check out the Pioneer 5000+, Poulan 325, Jonny 490, Jonny 2051, and Husky 346. All under 10lbs. and no moss growing on any of um.
The op asked for 10 pound saws, not me. I would love to have a 346, never been fortunate enough to own one.When I bought mine a few years back the spec was under 11 lbs. Still go out and try them for yourself I've been fortunate to own or run most of them stock and later ported. If a few ounces of saw specs bother you, I dunno what to say. I run saws on feel not paper specs. Even an 026 though less power, is pretty nice handling and plenty light.
I don't even use a 50cc much as bending with an 18" bar hurts my back much more than using a heavier 372 with 28" lightweight bar allowing me reach. Even a 36" bar on this saw, seem to hurt me less. I'm getting older and in the last two years am starting to feel saw weight more. Even with that I shy away from most short bar saws. If I have to reach above me, something I like a 200t with 16" bar works well on fruit tree pruning.
I believe Echo 510P is the lightest saw today in 50 cc class.
Yes, they can pull 3/8 LGX all day.
Will also be priced below Stihl 261.
545 and 550xp are the same displacement. In fact they share the same cylinder with different transfer covers.550XP is in the 10 lbs range and is a fantastic saw. Also the 545XP or just the 545...though not quite 50cc.
You may have to compromise a tad bit on weight or Displacement
The jred CS2245, CS2250
Husky 450, 450 rancher, 445
LOSTS of choices in that range.
