Yep we could have welcomed him into the UK 7900 owners club but I think he is a lost cause
always on the lookout for new members
i wouldnt say mike is a lost cause, just overwhelmed by the choice... if he still had his husky 350, i'd push him to get a 70cc+ saw, but for his needs, probably not necessary.
i did vaguely offer to drive up and fell all his leylandii over a weekend for the price of a saw... but he's got the saw bug, so all is definitly not lost

Odd, no voting 365!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go on Saw trol get in there
Nothing. Get it, it's the cheapest, it will do all you need, and if you can run it long and hard enough to wear it out, which you won't be able to, you can get a 7900 top end. It's heavy for the power but you don't care, just get it and get to work.

Its very close!!!!
No bids on the 365 at all!!!
I had a 6401 makita. Great saw. I'd pick one over the 372 if i was buying new. You can buy it, run it a while, and then mod it to spank a 372, with still less money in it than the husky new. I ran a 371xp( which is mostly the same as the 372) and i really couldn't tell any speed difference between the 6401 and 371. THe 371 felt awful "revvy" and was easy to stall in the cut. It seemed like it wanted to run at peak all the time, and not much lugging power. But, for the price, the makita is unbeatable. I never had a problem with mine, i ran it a good bit too. And honestly, i dunno what i was thinkin by getting rid of it. I wish i had it back and the 7900 kit on it, but, i got cad, and im poor, so i gotta sell stuff to get new stuff.
What would you sell your old 61 for?

The 365 is a very good, affordable saw. IMO the 365 with a 20" bar in hardwood runs like a 372 with a 24" bar. If you are not cutting large hardwoods the 365 will be more than enough saw, it will still run a 24" bar with no problem, just not quite as fast as a 372.
I also think the 357 is an awsome saw, the price may scare some away, but this is one saw that flat out runs. For the kind of cutting that you describe this would be my saw of choice.

I'm surprised TS, i thought you were a 365 man
