husky 346xp NE and xpg's

[bob]

When i was using heated handles i was production felling in the forests & they kept my hands warm even when snedding.

 

big difference in production snedding to snedding by chipper

was just making the point that they need to be revved for a while and pretty constant to make heat

they will not warm up on tickover or when you cut a couple of branches

couple of questions, is there anyone on here running a 346xp New edition (silver sided one) if so how do you rate it, im considering chopping in my 340 and 254xp to get one, im only looking to run either a 13" or 15" bar on it as anything bigger i will use the 372 on

 

and secondly anyone using saws with the heated handles how do you find them? I have a bit more work coming up this winter where i will be using the saw most of the day eg coppicing and firewood and just wondered if its worth the extra? it would also be another box ticked on the RA

 

cheers

Funny - I was only trying the new 346xp (silver sided) earlier today! Didn't like it - plasticky and seemed "rough". Keep the 254 - or can I have it?! (seriously I do want a 254). MS260 better depite might be a bit slower revving.

Charlie i dont think you`ll be disapointed with the 346

Good ish saw- im a stihl man- but two mates have recently bought the silver sided ones and the build quality is non existent and they are very plasticky. Husky need to go back in time a few years to when they built really good saws i reckon.
