Good luck ! No doubt it's the best handling most powerful 60cc saw out when it's working properly. Just too many problems for my volume of work. Downtime is money lost to me...

They work fine for me in commercial use. Mines a 11 model only issues been the start broke once. Not bad considering the use I've put it through.

Mine is a 2011 model also and no issues at all.

Same here I believe I got mine in early 2012 and it's been worked over for my tree service. It's really like the energizer bunny but I must say you really do have to know how to start it when it's hot or you'll be throwing it out of trees or putting it behind the skidder...
2014 started on two pulls one choke next pull fired right up. Followed directions ran it about 3 mins 45 seconds buried in 30" to 12" red and white oak. Cut twenty firewood logs in that time. Was pretty sweet. Couldn't convince myself to cut "cookies". Never have

Nobody else has had av springs break all the time and every screw keep vibrating loose ? Nothing against the brand, my 372 is my favorite saw ever ! Like the 580 blower too, it will blow a sheet of plywood off the ground !

Nope. Not one issue like that on the two that I own.
Roll Tide
Trolltide
Same here! I've had mine 2 years and absolutly love it. Its my favorite saw for sure!
I read about that happening over in the forestry and logging section perhaps a year or so ago. They had some pretty impressive piles of logs. I think the guy was from northern Massachusetts, took a week or so to get another one, av spring. Those guys spend a lot more effort talking about their skidders, I am sure he and or his guys have spare chainsaws.

sounds like you being the heavy hitter and all, are just the exception to the rule. I Can only imagine the hours of use you put on a saw. I been running chainsaws for thirty years, and have yet wear one out or see those kind of failures.

On your own with the broken av springs, and never vibrated anything loose. 2012 model with probably what adds up to 12months constant use (I'm cutting when the weather doesn't suit weed spraying).
Mine is ported and I see no need for a saw between it and my 385. Hauls the mail running a 20" bar in Aussie hardwood.

When I was shopping for a 60 cc saw (got the 362 C) the manager of the store that sells both Stihl & Husky told me a few of the 562s came back with broken springs, but assured me is was covered under warranty.
The potential carb problems, the talk about broken springs, the fact that the bar would not interchange with my 044, the outboard clutch, and the fact I thought the controls were simpler on the Stihl (no videos for start up procedure) all influenced my decision to go with the 362.
I have no regrets, and think they are both great saws. Most people that have purchased either one really like them.

sorry not trying to be mean, but if you need avideo to figure out how to start the 562/2260, you probably should not be running the saw. they are as easy to start as any other saw i own. futhermore "mustang", you seem to be hung up in this particular thread/comparison, more than anyone else here? not sure why you continue to have to feel like you need to defend your ms362, and the decision to purchase it on this site?? again , not trying to be mean , just my personal observations
I think deep down he kinda wishes he got the 562xp. He's got those "stihlhead" blinkers on, i used to also but it pays not too. I also thought the inboard clutch thing was a postive but have since changed my stance. For the better i will add

Both good saws. Stihl is built better, with the best filtration. Husky is a fuzz lighter, and a little snappier in the the cut.

Ah, I love that better build crap and Mike,the Stihl all in one switch choke control is not convenient at all.
Depress the grip safety, pull the trigger while at the same time pressing the choke lever?
Why can't I just put the choke on.
