Congrats Don! My bro-in-law ran all my saws yesterday and he was most impressed with the 346. It was close between it and the 372,but he said that little 346 was somethin else! What b/c are ya gonna run Don?

It is really a hard saw to beat! I love my old one, but want a new one as back-up. I'm goin to run an 18" Husky bar and .325 simi-chisel chain for now. Muff mod and unlimited coil right off the bat, and maybe a trip to Brad later

Haha, I honestly think that once you run the new one, your old one will become the back up.It is really a hard saw to beat! I love my old one, but want a new one as back-up.

That's possible, but the old one has been very impressive! Also with it being lighter and a 16" bar, it's just so handy. Time will tell

Don't doubt you one bit Don. I bet it would be very hard to put down.
But one things fore sure. You now have the best of both worlds!

What saw does Dracula run?

I have never seen or run a 555. So for me, it's a 346xp! One of the all time best saws ever built!!!
I will look hard at the 555 and 562xp next year after they have been out for a while, and will likely get a 562xp. Sounds like a hell of a saw!

Yeah, that's good :hmm3grin2orange:
I wonder what the HP of the 562 is off "boost", if its max hp is taken off that 2 second boost, how much does it have in the cut all day long? What kind of RPM boost is it?

I believe the "Revboost" is about fast accelleration/trigger responce only, and has nothing to do with max power?

Makes you wonder if autotune is suited for a limbing saw. The 555 may only be a firewood saw.

Indeed, but let's let them Stihlheads celebrate for another couple of months. They have been waiting for the 261 since 1999 when the 346 came out

:agree2: I have deliberately stayed out of their celebration thread lately, since it was impossible to "play it nice" there....
