I love my 026 but the Husky 350 out-cuts it and is smoother to operate. I would assume the 346 would be even better. It is way past time Stihl updated the 260. Regardless, I find myself picking up the 026 and the 350 about equally. If you were to buy the 260 I doubt you would regret it unless you hang around here too much.
.... You just have to learn to feed i the wood the right way.
agree stlfirewood they are a awesome saw unmatched cc for cc just let it cut dont push on it
Dealer will give me a 346xp for my 026 and $225.00 it has a green fuel cap is that the new one.

You are close!!!! I personaly wouldn't buy either!!! Owned both, my 350 runs better than either ever thought of!!!! I'd save some green and buy another 350 while I still could.
Don't wait too long!
I'm getting mixed signals as to when, but at some point the 350 will go away as it is being replaced by the 450, which is already out.
The 350 is great in the bang for the buck category. Doesn't get a lot of respect here cause it isn't a "pro" saw and has a plastic crankcase. IMO, if you only want to spend $300, it's the best saw you can buy, hands down.
This is not the new 346, but the 260 done quite well against it.
