Due to research here I decided to get a 346ne for myself and dw. As some might remember we are snowed in and so were unfamiliar with the saw changes this year. Well the nearest dealer didn't have one and it would be necessary to get one from the lower mainland. I also checked Dolmar out but there are no dealers here though I almost ordered one on line.
I settled on a 361 for $650 on sale. The 346ne was $799 and I thought why pay that when I can get a stronger saw for less. My dw bought a 353 so we are both happy. I have just run 1 tank so far but I am very happy with the unit and expect it to get better after break in. I got a 18" bar as we leave the big +40" trees alone. Mostly cut pine 12 to 20". Trying to make the woods out back into a park. We generally need 16+ cords a year for the house and greenhouses. Thanks for all the help.
