346xp vs 560xp

[Chopper-Gooders]

Riiight i love my 346 with a 15", but i need another ground buddy do i get another 346 with an 18" or do i go for it with the very pretty 560 with 18".

 

let me know what u recon to the 560 please chaps

[Andy Collins]

Though a fantastic saw, I'd keep the 346 on 15" or shorter, and get a 560 to run an 18".

What Andy says...

[WoodED]

agreed,, im thinking of a 560 with an 18" to.

[Chopper-Gooders]

it better cut likes it looks....sweeet! any ideas on pitch? i need to have a go and see if its not too heavy when its swinging from me belt

[Arbocop]

the 60 is the replacement for the 57, and is an outstanding saw. the 346 is one of my all time fave saws so i know why you like it so much.

 

If you fancy a drive to needham market on the 14th (tomorrow) huski are there and the chaps from BTS have arranged a try before you buy event.

 

bring your ppe and have a go with a range of huski new saws

We've just had a 560 on demo for the last week and was really quite taken by it. Whilst it's aimed as a replacement to the 357, it feels a fair bit lighter (even though it might only be a tiny bit lighter in reality) and knocks the socks off it power wise.

 

We had it on 15" and .325 semi chain and it balanced nicely. Didn't try it on 18" but am sure it would pull it fairly convincingly.

 

I'm still not 100% convinced about all the electrickery but having actually used one now, I'm almost persuaded to take a punt (though might hold out for a 550 yet)

The 346xp is now history; the last one off the production line was late last year (2011). New 550xp already selling in other countries, finland etc, not sure of e.t.a. here.
