LMAO Dan, what I was thinking
IMO the 260 is an overrated, overpriced, overhyped TURD! For that money there are a lot more powerful saws to be had that will run better and give you more options.
I have not run a new version of the 346xp yet, so I have no judgment I can give on it. The old version left more than less than impressed. It rapped up nice and tight and screamed like a demon, but seemed it got scared as soon as I got it close to wood! They required a "finesse" that I guess I lack! They want a light pressure, keep the revs up type of cutting action. I'm used to leaning on saws a bit, even after extensive modding I could never get it to run to my liking.
It's said the new modle has more tourqe and a more usable power band, I doubt I will ever find out.
I'm not a fan of hardly any of the 50cc class saws, they always left me wanting or wishing I had more saw. I do love my Husky 350's, but they have been dropped and many here don't like them because they have a plastic crankcase and a few had issues with mufflers falling off, both good reasons to dislike them, but I've never had an issue with one.
I think for the money spent on either of those saws, there are other, better and larger options available to you.
Sawinredneck what is your reason for not liking the two saws I listed? I guess I'm looking at them from all angles.
