Anyone Port a MS 362 C-M???

[HuskStihl]

There have been numerous times that I have topped a downed tree with my 044 so fast that onlookers were shocked to learn I was not a professional.

I'm rarely mistaken for a professional. Even in my profession

Me either....im calling BS

The credit goes to the 10 mm 044, a saw that was way ahead of it's time. Ditto for the Husky 372, they set the benchmark for future serious professional saws.

the way some folks think an inboard or outboard clutch makes a hoot of a difference on a firewood saw that last time I cut firewood with will stay "dirty side down" 98% of the time...but what do I know...I prefer turtles and have not tried "snedding" at the GTG's yet....must be some European thing...like "man bags" er sumptin..

I guess they are "hardwood" pegs stuck in that stick though so that makes it "cool"....

For a firewood saw i can take anything, weight and maneuverability are not so important as that, as the saw has enough power.

But come with me in a ravine falling and limbing for a few days, and speak after that.

What was inappropriate?

Nothing, I was just messing with you. = joke.

I actually "liked" your review on the Stihl site, thanks for posting it!

Thanks, and if you ever want to get rid of that parts saw, let me know.

You got it, although I think you're the 2nd or maybe the 3rd. Either way, I have plans for it, hopefully they'll work out.

Thanks,

So tell me what M-Tonic saw you have run that did not run good for it's size? The 362 C-M is the new kid on the block, but the 261 C-M and 441 C-M are getting great reviews, and run much stronger than their non M-Tronic counterparts. If anyone does not like the 441 C-M it is NOT because it does not cut well. The 362 C-M not running great on the first tank of fuel does not mean a thing, my saw got so much stronger as it broke in it was like a whole different saw. I have no regrets about picking a 362 C-M instead of a 562. The people I feel sorry for are the guys on their second 562 and it still won't run right, and Husky dos nothing. Go tell them how great their saw is.

My 261 and 562 were both slow to break-in and not very impressive (to me anyway) at first. Both are now VERY capable, bogging notwithstanding and that will soon be n issue of the past...

We're gonna make that saw live again for him.

YO, I emailed you. Need an opinion.

Me? I got a **** pot load of opinions.

Thanks for sharing that. I hope it will help in getting people not to judge a saw until it breaks in no matter which company it is from.

Why am I having visions of a ported big bore??? Seems like that would go perfectly with my other 2 saws.

 

[Locust Cutter]

Well, having played with and currently owing a ported big-bore, there is NO going back. Just about every saw out there will cut wood. Some just do it more angrily than others...

I presume you are referring to that 372. I hear they port well, how much difference did it make?

 

[Locust Cutter]

Well that and the 9010 Dolmar...The 372 is a screamer, although it's a totally different theory of operation than a 460/1 or the 9010... It has plenty of torque, but the 372 is all about RPM and high-end running. Think Blue-printed 327, 302 or an Indy car. The 460/1 and similar saws are more akin to a 454 or 460. Hammer the pedal and let the torque do the talking. The 9010 is along that line. It seems to run noticeably faster than a stock one, but it seems to pull like a Peterbilt for the 2 tanks I've been able to run through it so far (I received it 3 days before having shoulder surgery). I should be running it soon and have access to a quarter section of ground with somewhere between 18-30 LARGE Hedge trees. One is around 50"+ DBH. That tree will be the real test and I'll know a lot more about that saw then.

I really hope you do get your 362 ported as I'm very curious to see how it responds. I would bet that you would be blown away in terms of acceleration and rpm's in the cut.
