You fellas might have noticed that OPE member @Greg Newman has sold a few saws lately. Well that's because his wife has been sick. Very sick. He moved from Tennessee to Florida and we all know how costly moving is....let alone starting a tree service in a place where you're the new guy. Between his wife's medical expenses, and starting over, he has had it rough. At any rate, Greg Karman @farminkarman has a freshly built Husqvarna 350 with a ported 346XP top end on it....and he is donating it here. I have at least one saw....maybe two that I'll put in. Additions to the kitty are absolutely appreciated. You guys know the deal. Put in ten bucks....get a chance to win.

We had Greg set up a GFM. Now pay attention here. When you donate, don't mention anything about a raffle. BUT do include your real name or username so we can contact you if your name is drawn.

I've not done one of these in quite awhile. They can take on a life of their own sometimes and get tough to keep it all on track. But it's easy if we work together. Greg needs a little help...and I figure there ain't no better way to start a new year than to help out a fellow member. We'll get pictures of the saws up soon.

Here's the link to the GFM

Randy, thanks for kicking this off. In addition to putting my 350/346 in the raffle, I am also going to enter a second saw ( need to decide yet which one) as well as a port job.

Here are some pics of the 350/346 hybrid: The saw can be setup for a .325x7, .325 x8, or .375 x7 rim sprocket. If the winner sticks with .325, then the bar & chain will go with the saw.
Edit: I have a muffler brace on order and will be installing it on the saw before it leaves my shop.

I can also verify that this saw with the .325/7 pin it came with is an absolute little hellion for wood up to 18".
Wont leave you wanting AT ALL.
With a 20" bar and 3/8" x .050, its more than capable as well, just doesnt feel as light and nimble in hand.
