is there that much difference between the ms341 and 260?

How about scrap the idea of a stihl and buy the new husky 346xp beats anything else on the market

Whats the point in buyin 2nd best. A chap i sub contract for uses them. They dont start, there in and out of the menders all the time, they rattle themselfs 2 bits. Tell me somethin good about them other than there cheaper than a sthil, but i supose u get what u pay for.

I have a 341. I have loads of 346 / 357 huskys, and am a husky man through and through - yet I would chose the 341 any day over the husky. Its not quite as powerfull or fast as the Husky 357, but I would buy another tomorow, mainly because its so durable. It has a nice torquey engine and withstands the daily abuse my guys give it. I bought a 260 at the same time, which I consider to be a piece of junk.

hav u got any makitas and if so do u like them. my bro is a chippy and loves there tools, but there newish 2 the saw market and id like 2 giv 1 a go at some point.

[Mr Ed]

The Makita's are just Rebadged Dolmars, and are probably one of the best power to weight combo's you can get. I want a 7900, but in sexy Dolmar orange, not sh*t Makita blue

ed, what pitch chain are you running on the 341?

[THE88MAN]

bending the thread i know but i have a 361 and find it a bit enigmatic.cuts well on a 16" bar,seems to cut even better on an 18",even put a 25" on it occasionally for sport and it copes with softwood.only thing i find is its a split second behind on pick-up when snedding,anyone else?!

[Mr Ed]

I'm running 3/8's Steve, not got round to putting .325 on it yet.

[Steve Bullman]

if you stick a 9 tooth sprocket on it i think you'll find it cuts quicker than a husky

[josharb87]

How about scrap all huskys including the awfull husky 346xp and buy the best, buy stihl-beats anything else on the market

 

i tottally agree :001_tongue:
