    Another 361 wanted thread.

    There are two for sale right now in the trading post forum. One is NIB, never in wood for $625 and the other is a slightly used for $500. It's a great saw, if you really want one I suggest you jump on it. Good luck.

    So I bought a new ms660.

    Good info. Me and my cutting partner just picked up a new MS660 each and have the DP muffler covers ready to bolt on. I think we'll be getting rid of the cage now that we know its not a critical piece of the system.

    What a day......

    So a buddy called me the other day and offered me about a dozen 30" rounds of red oak he has had sitting in his yard for the last several months. I check it out and looks like an easy enough job so I grab a buddy who owes me a favor, hook up the splitter and head over. I brought both saws...

    Yes, you can buy happiness

    Nice score! Just picked up a 28 ton Log Machine myself, it's so much easier to be able to split on-site than having to load up the rounds, unload them then split everything. Best money I ever spent!

    My first real saw..Stihl MS 361

    I run a 25" ES bar and RSC chain on mine and have no problems. I have the stock oiler and I'm getting plenty to lube my bar/chain. I like the longer bar because it saves me from having to bend over a lot.

    My new MS660R

    Both my 361 & 660 have the standard tip ES bars on them. The 660 is wearing a 36" and the 361 is wearing a 25". I hear people complain and say the 25" is too big for the 361 but IMO it works just fine. I've had it in 20-25" hardwood and it pulls smooth and fast right through it, the only...

    My new MS660R

    No problem, hijack away.... I actually had to call Stihl dealers all over the east coast until I found a shop in New Hampshire, at the recommendation of NHCowboy, that would help me out. To buy this saw with 1/2 wrap & 36" B&C was $1000. With the 3/4 wrap it was $1035. To buy the wrap kit...

    My new MS660R

    I put the order in just over 5 weeks ago and last friday I got the call to go pick her up. So now I am the owner of a MS361R, MS660R and a uspraxis 28 ton Log Machine, I think I have all the equipment I need for a lifetime of cutting wood. I haven't got the chance to go out cutting with it...

    No more hand splitting for me!!

    Got to use my new toy today. I've been cutting & clearing a section of my yard so I can have a place to stack my wood and finally got all the brush out so I split everything I cut today. I ended up with a nice little pile, mostly maple and a little bit of oak. This machine is a beast, the...

    No more hand splitting for me!!

    I would never have paid $3,300 for this or any splitter for that matter. There are plenty of good ones out there for $1,300 - $1,500 brand new and plenty of used ones out there for less. Negative. I got it from a friend of a friend who owns a contracting business and doesn't use it much.

    No more hand splitting for me!!

    Not a bad idea but right now I can't bring myself to scratch off that pretty powdercoating besides, that's what my Glock 30 is for. Eleven rounds of .45 ACP is a much stronger deterent than some numbers you can grind off, don't you agree..? Before I bought it I looked it up online as saw...

    No more hand splitting for me!!

    I am the proud new owner of a 28 ton Log Machine. I bought it used but the thing looks like new. I got it for a steal and love it. I had been looking at a TB 27 ton from Lowes but once I saw this thing I had to snag it up. It has the Subaru EX27 9hp motor and fires up first pull. This...

    New chaps prefrences?

    I'm going to be needing a new set soon myself. Right now I have the PGI Sawbuck chaps and like them a lot. I have the extended version or "wrap" set in orange and want to get another but can only find them in green. The cheapest I could find them was $100 which is $40 more than the...

    So I walked into the local Stihl Shop

    Nice grab, I love my 361. Since I outfitted her with the wrap handle kit & 25" B&C I love it even more. Great all around saw, enjoy it!

    ms 362 w/25" bar?

    I ran a 25" Stihl ES bar on my MM'd MS 361 today. After reading some of the posts on here I was a little nervous about it but the thing ran great. I didn't use it on anything big, mostly 20" red & white oak but it pulled right through no problem. The balance also felt good, not too nose...

    Need help with a member pinesfarm

    I just read through 20 pages of this and still dont know if this guy got his saw... Pinesfarm isn't too far from me, I've talked to him through PM but thats it. Last he said he was going to put a 660 P&C on it and fix it up.. Keep us posted!

    CT area MS660M?

    That sucks. If things go right I may end up with a 660 soon, I need one for a lot I'll be clearing this year. Since your close you're welcome to use it to finish your job.

    chainsaws vs. guns

    I hate to break it to you but it doesn't work like that. Noone gets offered a chance to go to sniper school right out of boot camp for one simple reason, YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING! It takes a few years minimum as an infantryman to develop the basic skills needed to excel as a sniper. I think...
