[QUOTE="JHctRednek, post: 3805257, member: 83556"] I agree with everyone recommending the 70 cc class of saw. My personal opinion is to jump 20 ccs between saws, that's were the biggest gains can be felt between saws so if your 346 is about 50 ccs then 70 ccs fits the bill. Also IMHO a 50 cc saw runs a 16" or 18" bar with authority while a 70 cc saw will run a 20" to 25" bar (full comp chain) with authority, which seems to fit your needs. I also agree with all of the recommendations to buy used, a quick look of the overall condition (plastics, bar etc), a drop test with the starter rope and a look at the spur/rim& drum will tell you alot about the saw your buying if you can't run it before you buy it. Best of Luck [/QUOTE]
