You fellers let us know what you think of them. They might be fastest with .325 9 pin. But will pull 3/8 7 18" with no sweat.....
Mine was run about 6hrs today. I was also running an OE ported by Eric Copsey. Randy's saw was running a HDA 199 and Eric's was running a Zama from a 357. I have a HDA to go on it, but as it would have it, it has started the classic HDA spiral of death. Both saws were absolute blast to run. Most of the wood was 6-12" oak and both would absolutely rip through it. Both saws were running 3/8" RSC. The NE had a 20" and the OE wore an 18" (only bc I didn't have enough 72DL RSC). The NE was a touch stronger, but the OE was nipping at its heels. My brother and I swapped saws after lunch and then compared notes. We both came to the same conclusion. It was late this afternoon bf I fired up the ported 372 to bust up a larger oak. I could have used the 346, but the 372 was looking pretty sad, sitting under the trees right where I put it first thing in the morning.
I also now have a 7900 done by Eric. I didn't get to run it; my brother grabbed it and took off. He had 20" oak to drop and buck. I shut my saw off and just listened to the forest music. What a saw...it is an absolute stud. Tommorrow it's my turn!!
Guys, I can't say it enough: a ported 346 is just about the only saw a firewood cutter needs.
Thanks Randy.:biggrin::biggrin:
