[COLD_IRON]

357XP I believe.

It Can only be the 357XP about the same hp and weight!

Nothing!!! no other brand can produce anything close to the all powerful, all knowing, supreme MS361!!

 

[blsnelling]

357, only if you don't mind an outboard clutch.

 

[AngelofDarkness]

357xp will dominate a MS361, hands down.

My dream is to take the big Husky 120cc power cutter and cut Stihls in half with it. That and getting a girlfriend.

 

[brncreeper]

262

LOL good job they dont do drug testing before they let you post!
361 and 357 should be fairly evenly matched
Dominate is a bit optimistic

Dominate this! This is in Elm too.

Depends on whos running it

Nope, the 357xp has more weight and less max power, and a lot less max torque......

 

[blsnelling]

It does not weigh more. They weigh exactly the same with the same length bar and full of fuel and oil. The proof's in the pudding.

 

[ropensaddle]

The 361 is a great saw indeedy, it really comes down to choice
in the end. The best is a matter of perspective,price and specs.
I would probably buy one if ; I was not used to 372!
Price will always come into play in my purchases but they do
not dictate the outcome alone. Is there enough differance
to spend the extra dollars for product x ? Sometimes there is
and sometime not but it is a choice we have to make!

You can't compare two saws, by only running one of them.

Great job; real world information! The video in the other post was also nice. Tried to rep you, but we'll have to settle for "public rep".

I have wore out about five of the early 357s, they were good saws
but the 372/272,262 are the better to me. I don't want a trim saw on the ground.

I'm just feeding the disease we all have.

 

[HUSKYMAN]

I need someone to donate a 361 to run against the all mighty 262XP.
I dont care about anti vib and the clutch, I care about power, and this saw has it. If Husqvarna would come out with a 62cc saw on the 357 chassis I would buy three of them on the spot

The bars are different on those saws, and no-one knows how accurate that weight is, and who knows about the liquids amount and crud in the saws.......

Empty powerhead weight is halv a pound or more different (.3kg according to KWF/DLG test reports).

That was confirmed by Big Dave when he weighted them, as well.
