What are your alls picks for the best 50cc class saw

 

[rburg]

All 4 of my 50cc saws are husky/jonsered. My favorite is the 346.

 

[Warped5]

Tough question .... I would have to give the slightest of edges to a Shindaiwa 488 over an OE 346XP.

 

[Chris Zautner]

Stihl 026/260

 

[DrewUth]

Poulan 3000

Id like to try a ne 346xp dolmar 5105 and a stihl 261 c-m new style all ported. I have a masterminded 550xp that runs very good and is quite small and light

346XP, 026, 254XP, 51/55, 029/MS290 in that order.

031/032, shinny 488 and 491s, ms261, 5105s....

 

[rocco490]

no one is listing a 550xp is this from not running one or not being impressed with one?

 

[rburg]

I like my ported 550 just fine. It doesn't noodle as well as the 346, but it does quite nicely cutting across the grain.

 

[rocco490]

So your 346 has more grunt? Is yours a oe or ne 346?

562

562

You just want to be different, don't ya?

 

[CapitaineHaddoc]

Husky 346XP of course.

It's 59.8[emoji41]

The 550 is stronger, but to me the 346 is more enjoyable to use overall. It is a ne.

 

[jakethesnake]

Ported 346

 

[rocco490]

562 is a great saw! my masterminded 562 is my go to saw I use it more than the rest of my saws combined! 60cc class saw though......

 

[rocco490]

I need to run a 346 everyone seems to like them must be a reason for that

 

[jakethesnake]

They are a fad
