Does anybody think this is worth $350? New NE346XP with 1/2 tank through it?

 

[KenJax Tree]

Yes. I've seen beat up ones go for that much

 

[KenJax Tree]

Any saw that makes the work go faster is worth it, and a ported limbing saw will let you do a little bucking with it w/o the time penalty.

It is like there is no reason to have a dull knife either.

I don't see where a ported saw would be faster in 2-3" limbs. You need RPM's to limb fast not torque. When to wood gets bigger then the torque of a ported saw makes a little difference.

I bet my muffler modded 550xp would limb circles around bigger ported saws.

A buddy of mine bought a new one, used it for two years, and sold it for $50 less than he paid new

WELL worth that, I paid $150.00 for a beat up one that needed a P&C.

This is not a light limbing saw this is a saw for the most firewood jobs , and if you have a 550 or a 562 what you need a saw that have only 5 or 10 cc diferent

This 346 will be ported and wear a 16" Cannon Supermini with PS chain and handle everything 16 and under

Sure sounds like you found a great little saw and at a great price. Your game plan for this saw sounds pretty sweet too.

 

[Keith Gandy]

The 562 will get more porting and a 24 es light with skip chain. The 064 and 390 will handle bigger jobs

My buddy John Laslab had a ne346xp that Brad ported that I ran. It was nasty as hell!#
