Different kinda wood Jasha, the OP is over here in my country where the Oaks don't really get any shorter when you lay them on their side.
If you walked the stem on one of our trees you'd get to cut for about 10 or 15 feet.
Although I see that Josh says he's not doing much limbing I still say the 346 is what he wants.

Yeah I think I emailed you about an ad you had on the 346 for sale, but you'd changed your mind.....I saw those pics. Do you use both saws?

true, I guess the only way to find out is get one and hope I don't say "da**!, wish it was a touch bigger"
Think I'll head to the dealer at lunch! Leanin towards to 346 at this point. I may see if they've got a 346 loaner....they had a 372 loaner, never know.

If not come on down and you can run mine.
I thought you were a diehard Stihl-head! I don't remember a husky in your arsenal of Stihl's
Seriously though, thanks for the offer, I'll let you know!

I have the 346/372 firewood combo. It's perfect for you're needs. I run a 20/24" bar and chain combo on the 372 and keep the 346 wearing an 18" bar and chain. I run primarily Stihl RSC chains also. I cut a ton of firewood as well as manage 102 acre woodlot I have. I really think you'd be doing well to go with the 346 for you're needs as you're pretty much doing exactly the same as myself. A lot of the wood I cut is frozen through the very harsh winter months up here and both saws handle it just fine. IMO it's a tough saw combo to beat.
That 346 will easily replace the that 290 and do it more nimble with a lot less weight. (I just did this all weekend this past weekend) I say go for it!

Great to hear, thanks man! Yeah I think getting a 20" bar for the 372 wouldn't be a bad idea (in addition to the 24" it already has)....and want an 18" bar for the 346.
I'm off to the dealer in ~15 min.

I had thought about that Joat but it turns out I just don't have a box big enough to ship that thing in...... nope no box at all.... guess it's just gonna have to stay here. Man and I bet you really would have enjoyed that thing too.
It is kinda the Orange headed step child in the bunch though... it's gonna have to work hard from here on out so my favorite MS260 can sit back and take it easy for a while.

Mr. Lost Soul, AKA Erick,

2 saw plan? More like 20 saw plan, having only 2 is no fun.

My poor neglected saws have been sitting for quite some time now. My only two saw plan as of late has been the Skil saw and the Sawzall.

Does it have a cat muffler or not? 3/8 or .325 chain?
