Chainsaw Repair

Dang 362's are 679$ here.
Pro's- Much better air filtration. More torque, enough to actually pull a 25" bar. Better A/V set up
more fuel efficient. Share common parts with 311's and 391's so easier for us dealers to have the part you need.
Unlike 361 which didn't share parts with anything.

Con- A little heavier, and price.

The last 361's we sold retailed for 620$ equal 362's are 679$

Look at the stihl 362 the other day. $709     I didnt like what I saw. 

So how do they compare to the MS361 that looked slimmer and lighter for $589?

The 361 is quite a bit lighter, and the power rating is the same, outside the US.

OK, the 362 has everything but the filter. I dumped the oil but I didn't flush the tank. The weigh was 12 lbs, 13oz. I can't see it varying more than an ounce or two, so credit Stihl with be accurate with their weights for a change. I haven't run the saw to know how it feels in the woods. Right now it is too hot to run a saw unless it is absolutely necessary. I have all of my wood cut for the year. I have a little that needs to be noodled and moved. I may get around to that in the next couple of weeks.

Remember Murph, Niko's scales are accurate to 12 decimal places. So in his view a couple ounces is a huge difference, and the sideways balance on the 362 is rubbish also.
