That's my guess as well

 

11 second for the 353/346
11.3 second for the 550
11.7 second for the 261
14 second for the pawn shop Dolmar

 

So in reality, outside of bragging rights, with the first three saws listed, not enough difference to matter.

That is the order I figured we'd see for the two Husqvarna and one Stihl saw. I had no idea on the Dolmar.

 

Yeah that's pretty much my conclusion as well.

Considering that the Dolmar is probably bone stock I think it did about what it should have... but I'm no Dolmar expert....

I like em all pretty well..... they've all got their virtues / vices.

I think I'll probably sell the Dolmar to a koolaid drinker.

The 353 / 346 is a keeper.

I'm kinda partial to the 261.... I really like some of the current stihls.....

The 550 is pretty impressive and handles great, but it is some kind of ugly!

 

Holy chit! Thing looks new. Nice grab.

Bought my 034 for $100 last Fall and thought i got a steal.

 

You are more like me it seems. I like saws regardless of brand as long as they do whatever it is that flips my switch.

 

Yeah I'm kinda a saw nut I guess......at the end of the day all that really matters is if they make sawdust reasonably efficiently.

The truth is, it's pretty hard to beat the 346xp.
I've got $225 into the 353 I converted to 346 ne... that's pretty cheap power, and it's got an all new OEM top end.

 

Nothing wrong with that at all.

Sharpened and cleaned them. What else do you do when it’s raining and cold with snow on the ground still.

probably take the 362 and the 180 apart and do a thorough on them and do a close inspection and lube the clutch bearing

I took the clutch apart on the G660 just to see what the deal was with it. Oiled, but with more a preservative film than anything. So I touched a bit of GAA into it. It’s currently sporting the 28” bar and full comp chain until it’s broke in.

squish on the G660 is 0.038” with the stock cylinder/piston. It might get a base gasket delete when I put the big bore kit in it when it arrives this week.

 

What are the zip ties on the handles for?

 

Most likely to keep rounds the same length.

 

Goes good with anything

 

Kinda what i was thinking but I'd a thunk 1 would do the trick?

They are cheap and break easily in subzero temps. So it’s easier to add more and cut them off after the first couple break off
