    New 036

    the 036 is a sought after saw. I would offer 300 and see how it goes. The 361 is a newer version of the036..( I have had both and currently have a ms 361 which I really like) Parts are easy to find for it still. I do not have any experience with the 362 or husky line up .. Even without...

    splitter with a 28 gpm pump with a 4" bore and 2" rod anybody?

    I say with the pump and engine combo you already have I would upgrade cylinder to a 5 inch or bigger. The combo you have will be fast but may not have enough to run a four way wedge etc. Just my .02 Post some pics when you get a chance.
