THANKS to the Chainsaw subforum

Guys I bought a new old 362c, almost got a 261c then a 441c but one was a no show and the other a bait and switch (not a mtronic 441).  So I ended up with a 362c which should be a good saw for thinning my 3 acres and firewood and toppings and black locust cutting, and black walnut buys. 

It is a wonderful saw and much different than the old 260.  Bar is not the best but is 20" which I think is a nice size on this powerhead, a better bar will be an upgrade for the future.  Looking at 2 new chains, my old .325 go to back up status and I need a new set of files too.

Anyhow, learned bunches.  Many thanks

 I'd say you'll be happy with that saw, the 20" is about perfectly balanced with the 362's IMO. We have a non m-tronic ms362 and it is about the best feeling saw I've used, very smooth.

Feels great but I think the owners filed the rakers down to far, it has some kickback (ok, a lot).  Balance is great though, I'm enjoying.  Rain today so ...no play
