Thanks for the feedback Spike. When you have extra setups, why not use them? I bet 3/8" would be faster lin limbing or smaller wood.

You are right of course. There is an entertainment element here...But arguing is much more fun.
His post just above yours reveals all. He stakes his position on a comical reality show. Stihls are the number one saw in Disneylamd! That's all he's got. All the real guys are out in the woods working, while he's watching saturday morning cartoons. The more he posts, the funnier it gets. I'm not going to ignor him at all. I'm looking forward to his next post!
MAAAAAAAAAAGNUM!!!! Sure isn't referring to his IQ, is it?

I don't know about the rest of yous, but AS is a great source of entertainment for me. Whether I'm adding to, or receiving the mayhem it is a nice place to pass the time.

My 346 will also use 3/8 "16 when I received my top end from Dan. I can use the same bars on my 560.

Just received BOTH my new Ariens 22 Ton splitter
(locally) ,,,AND my 550xp (from Spike).
550 setup for 3/8 of course.I am gonna have a GREAT weekend for sure. Lots of trees to cut. Gotta go, pics later maybe.
How many drive links on the Husky 16" 3/8-.050 chain? My 562 18" takes 68 and my Stihl saws take 66. Not really 100% interchangeable.

That's odd. My 562 with a 20" takes 72 drivers, same as the 362. The 346 with 16" takes 60 drivers, same as the 260.
That's cool, I have plenty of 60 link 3/8 chains. Thanks!
Is that 346 using 3/8?

Yep. I have 3/8 x .050 on everything.
18" , 3/8 pitch on a 346 will be 68 drive links. If you are running a cannon super mini 67dl works better unless you grind the stud slot.

Yes, unless you have one of the 64dl bars, that are common on Dolmar 50cc saws.....

550XP- You CAN run it with 3/8 pitch chain - YES YOU CAN!
Not to drudge up an "old" thread, but I thought I would come on and give a formal THANKS to Spike for his service and help with my 550xp purchase. I've been meaning to do this for a while, but have been busy.
THANKS SPIKE!
Oh, yeah and a few PICS too.
Anyone who needs a smooth and professional online purchase of Husky saws, I would not hesitate to recommend Spike. Good, friendly service. Fair price. Fast shipping.

I have been REALLY enjoying this saw in 3/8 - .58. I like it. The 3/8 is a little aggressive (grabby) in small limbs, but it is "primo" for bucking. No regrets in switching from .325.
Autotune has been great and the saw feels nice in hand.
Even came with a cool hat!
Hard at work...

I can't show it yet but rather need a large public viewing and demonstration
If you have not yet pulled the trigger on a flimsy 550 I can sell you one PHO, if you wanted I could grab a 3/8 sprocket for an extra $6-8. I also have a xpg if you prefer that route. Most of the local dealers swap the .325 for a 3/8 on the 545 and 550 saws. I think if you were bucking and felling the 3/8 would be the better choice, I really like the .325 for smaller wood, brush etc. seems less grabby.
