Hello arborists, I'm newbie to this site. I have been utilizing the search feature and the site is pretty neat. I found this site when searching for info on a new saw.
I am tired of a POS poulan that i have and am looking for a 16-18" saw that will be used about 30 times a year for small trees and brush. I have used a stihl O26 and liked it. I do lawncare and find that husky string trimmers are more comfortable to use and wasn't sure what husky saws are like.
I am particularly interested in the 350. It has the lowest vibration rating of husky saws and has smart start, adjustable oiler, and side chain tensioner. I have heard people talk about the 55 Rancher, but it doesn't have these and also has a much higher vibration rating. I think that the 350 is cheaper so why the 55? Also the 346XP is another saw I am considering. Besides a little power,what differentiates this saw from the 350?
Thanks for any help,
Scott
