To be honest I have nearly chickened out been re-thinking this. I haven't ruled it out in fact I just asked Bailey's if I order today would it get here by Christmas. She said yes. I have been thinking of getting her something she has mentioned dropped strong hints about several times over the last couple months and I have made zero effort to make it happen. I have to decide by monday morning the Bailey's gal says.

Komatsu Clones in Stihl Colours!

Komatsu They are a highly respected heavy equipment manufacturer, in fact they just sold the top quality RedMax line to Husqvarna. Anybody that knows Stihl equipment will not be fooled but it is a sneaky marketing ploy copying their color scheme.

I never did get her the chainsaw. That "something else" I mentioned that I had made zero effort to do for her, is what i ended up doing and that was arranging a get-away at a B&B. At some point during our R&R at the B&B in Big D, I mentioned she came "that close!" (said it like Maxwell Smart with my thumb and forefinger in a pinch) to getting a new chainsaw instead. "Ohhhhhhhhhhh! You should have bought it anyway!"

So, here I am just getting around to shopping for one again. We have alot of logs to whack if the rain ever stops long enough for extended logging.

I waited too late to get one at $399 or even close. I just got off the phone with Norwalk and they say they will get new prices from Husky Tuesday, and don't have any left. They have been selling them for $440ish I think he said. of course Bailey's is no longer an option unless you happen to live down the street or know someone who does. I thik I have resigned to the fact that I am going to have to pay right around $500 after shipping, unless I can just find a powerhead. I have plenty of bars.

Any ideas?

I use a Red Max Komatsu saw for carving its a good little saw for detail. But It has a flaw . I eats starter pawls about once a year.
Husky bought em and squished the unit that carvers loved. Go figger. Red max has been a big leading name in string trimmers for years amoung lawn moing people.

If you are still talking about buying the 346, remember that it takes a small mount bar, unlike your bigger Huskies.

I was counting on the bars for my 345 being the same.

The 345 and 346XP use the same bar mount.
