I have a 346xp oe, with a ported ne top end on it. Love that saw for how small, and light it is. 18"bar semi skip. Makes a great limbing saw imo. Sadly I dont use it much atm as my projects have been bigger then it can handle. Still a great saw though.
 
Sure.
But I’m not going to believe that a 254 is nearly twice as fast as a 346 in all situations. They had different bars, so maybe the chains were different also.
Your right there, it certainly isn't twice as fast, but all the ones I've owned would beat a strong running 346 no problem.
I would have kept one, but you know how much I like front tensioners, and the 254 sucks fuel in comparison to a 346.
Taking those factors into cutting and that the 346 is lighter it's the saw I would grab/keep if I had a choice, I also like the 346ne because of the primer bulb.
The good thing is there are many choices.

Edit; chains were all new 325.
I could see a cooler with ice and a fan being cool enough for a doghouse. Just sayin’
Do you port those :laugh:.
 
I'm splitting today some (Highly Desirable) Bk Locust (not to be confused with HVBW) and the Bradford Pear that some esteemed members here (you be the judge if I'm being sarcastic:))led me to believe it was a good fire wood. I looked it up and it does have a high BTU value.

It seems to be almost dry. I'm guessing it'll be ready to burn this Fall. Does it really dry that fast?
 
@svk you'll be happy to know, that I went 20" 3/8 on Binford.

Just cut some cookies, and wow! At some point I'm gonna grab an 18" .325 bar, too, and see which I like more.

Video to come soon, wife shot some video of me in shorts/crocs, with my chaps and helmet on! :cool:
 
You guys have been busy today!

Did a lot of mowing and trimming then fixed the truck fuel line. It didn’t go as smoothly as I would have liked but got it done.

Heading to mow at the cabin now which hasn’t been mowed since early August last year. Going to be the first time with a rider, I’ve always weed wacked before. Wish me and my mower blades luck lol.
