2Dogs, why do you like your 357xp better than your 361? And why did you buy two saws the same size?
I bought the 357 just after it hit the shelves. I really like the saw but because of the change in dealerships I now will only buy Stihl. I can call the Stihl dealer and give them my name and the parts I need and they will order for me. With Husqvarna I have to drive 10 miles or more and pay up front, the drive home, then back again, then back home. 40 miles or more for a chain catcher for the 357.
So, I bought a used 361 on ebay and have been happy since. I do still like the feel and performance of the Husky better, not to mention the separate choke lever. The 357 leaks bar oil on the floor, the 361 air cleaner gets clogged very easily. I carry a clutch tool for the Husky but taking off the e-clip on the 361 is more convenient. In reality they are both great saws.
I should just sell the Husky.
