346 xpg - New Edition

[berryman70]

They have arrived in California, just saw one at my saw shop. E-tech/CAT. $479USD

No e-tech/cat on mine, would have stayed away if it was.......

I have been thinking about buying a new 346 for a while to have a better saw then my little 136, & now I'm really interested in the new version, but am I understanding right it'll be an e-tech in the states?
Way to go sawtroll on your new purchase, thanks for keeping us informed.

I think you should buy a new saw once a month to do an evalualion for us:hmm3grin2orange:

Yes it will have the cat, and sales of the old muffler will no doubt go up accordingly. Like Lake said, kind of a muffler tax. A good gesture might be to offer the muffler at cost at the time of purchase.

They must all be hiding behind chinese laundry's out here then! :monkey: but... it's a big state...

The reality here is that a fairly high percentage of Jonsered dealers are small "out of the house" operations. In some cases they are the really good ole' time saw shops most of you guys wish were still around. But often as not they are just a guy doing some small engine repairs and selling a few saws.

Having Jonsered also gives a small guy, who could never get Husky, access to the great many internal parts that are common to both lines. That would be a big help in servicing the Huskys that are much more likely to show up at his shop vs. Jonsereds.

Some of these part time guys do decent work, and there are a few that we try to help out. But they all spend so much time, (and gas), chasing parts! Combined with the fact that they already are working cheaper than the full time shops, I sometimes wonder why they bother.

Well are you? to the guys lined up waiting for the new 50cc. I can think of 2 from here

That would be a nice thing to do for sure and would help the sale for the ones that know about the different mufflers.

My apologies if I missed this in an earlier post, but is the new 346XP available at any US dealers yet?

I think the answer is no woods.
Spike is a dealer, if he can't get it odds aren't good. Husky may be trying to sell their old inventory before offering the new.

Nothing really wrong with the old version either, and it is abit lighter - but again, watch out for E-tech ones......

Howdy,
I didn't know these were in such great demand. We've been shipping them for awhile and nobody that has one, has said anything one way or the other about them on performance. I've got about a dozen left at $409.95 with an 18" bar and chain. I talked to our vendor and it might be awhile before some more head accross the water. Our Item number is HU 346XP 18.

Sorry to say, that item number seem to refer to the "old" 346 on your web-site - the linked part list look like it is for the old version......

...and the pic on the web-site show the old version, as well...

Our website isn't real time. At best it's part time. If you're trying to infer that I don't know what we're selling, you're lurking under the wrong bridge. There's people out there that we shipped them to already.

Just what I expected to "hear" - I don't doubt you, but that site needs to be updated - doesn't it???? :yoyo: :yoyo:

Yes, I saw one at my local California shop a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Grande Dog]

I agree with you totally on our site. If I had time to do it all I would certainly try. Anymore, my days are measured by what I don't get done. I'll make it a priority build a fire under someone to get this straight on the site. They keep telling me our new site is going to be awesome compared to what we have now. Real time sales, real time stock check, and alot other new goodies.

I have some pics of the new one ready, but I have no resize program on this computer, so I am not able to post them - any ideas????

I am really stupid conserning computer issues......

More in my "gate" - that saw does much better with 21LP than with 95VP - 25RSC probably is even better, but I don't have any so far......

There are numerous freeware picture resizing programs out there. If your not able to find one shout, and we'll point you to a few to choose from.

hey Sawtroll how is it comparing to the Dolmar 5100

 

[cuttinscott]

Why would Husky introduce a new displacement saw into the market WITHOUT a model number change??????????? or even to add a letter to the 346 nameplate.. So down the logroad a few years when a cust says he needs parts for a 346 who knows what saw he will have????
