What's the "best" small saw?

[Brian_42]

I won't know for sure which saw will be left when all is said and done, maybe that is the route I should take... sell them all, pick up a 346XP, or maybe wait and see what the general opinion of the 550XP is... I'll take what I have to the woods this weekend and do my best to make up my mind at that time...

Yep. Or a Homelite Super E-Z.

44 Husqvarna. Fantastic little saw!

Sorry, just too heavy for the power, if it has a chainbrake! :msp_smile:

Put a 50cc 346xp/2153 engine on the 351 and/or the 2149, depending on condition or what handlebar angle you like best.

The 351 and 2149 is basically the same saw, a 346xp with the original 49.4cc engine of the 350. They were replaced by the 353 and 2152 after a few years, as the cheaper alternative to the 346xp and 2147.

It does seem a little heavy for what it is, but I'll rather ran a 44 than MS250. Seems to have more of a power even though the 250 is 1 more cc lol

What's your opinion of an older Husky Special 42? I know it's a magnesium case, and it turns a lot op rpms... Just another possibility I guess, I have an opportunity to pick one up...
