Stihl equivalent

Which Stihl model is equivalent to a husky 346xp?

None! Simple as that! :biggrin:

Don't run saws with your watch on your wrist!!!! It's brutal on the movement! lol. 30 secs=about 6 months on your time-piece!

I thought that only applied to Homey's, Macs, and Stihls... Husky's and Dolmars are exempt...
What with bein' so smooooth and all...
Just sayin...:msp_sneaky:

First off, turn off your signature in Tapatalk. It is incredibly irritating.

There is no comparable saw to the 346. The 261 handles like a 60cc saw. Nice, but cumbersome for only a 50cc saw.

Exactly! :agree2:

Exactly! :agree2:

Too late... He already bought the creamsickle... :hmm3grin2orange:

The Dolmars aren't really smooth, but good enough in that regard!

Every video of that 346XP shows it buzzing and chattering kind of like that drill the dentist uses on your teeth. Dolmars are much more refined...

Hard to beat a ported 346, but sooner or later these guys are gonna come up with the right recipe for the 555....
Just sayin...

It will always be quite a bit heavier and larger than the 346xp, and isn't suitable as a replacement - the 550xp is though, and has already replaced the 346xp here, at least according to the website.

You would change your wiew about refined, if you looked closely at the porting in the cylinders, and knew what to look for! :biggrinbounce2:

Also, the better handling of the Huskys is because that they really care about that, unlike the German brands! It is far from accidental - Husky puts a lot of effort into making them that way. :cool2:

Exactly! :agree2:

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiko.......... You haven't even used a 261. ARGHHHHH. And yes, before you spill me a reply-- I know that you have briefly fondled one at the dealership.

And I realize that you will also tell me that "You dont need to cut with one, or even hold a saw for that matter"- if you "know what to look for". Hahaha, just razzin' ya a bit- you know it is in good humor.

You don't really need to even "fondle" one - it is obvious that it won't handle very nicely, from the way it is built (it is mostly about weight distribution). Regarding how it accellerates and cuts, there is more than enough info on here.

Husqvarna makes some great saws!! I wonder if they could compete better with Stihl if they wouldnt spend so much time building sewing machines!!

Thank god for this forum or else I would never get my fill of Husky vs the other saws. It is sometimes funny, entertaining, and even educational !!

I have a pain in the a$$ job most days. A little humor on this site goes along way with my sanity.
