Yeah, arn't you afraid all that power will rip the plastic apart in your hands? LOL
Yeah, way out of line. Much more inflamatory than anything THALL has said in this thread or many others. :censored: By the way, I told the guy nice saw and repped him. Take a deep breath Stihlheads, just joking around a little. Think I'll go run my junk 346XP for a while. Rims still in great shape...

Ask Thall about that great strong metal handle on my 038 mag...Yeah, arn't you afraid all that power will rip the plastic apart in your hands? LOL
Lol, well that ans how the heck do heated handles work without melting the darn thing?!?!

no disrespect Woodshed, just having alittle fun on your part. My father and alot of friends (mostly older) can't understand plastic either. I'm sure plastics have come along way,Stihl had a good reason other than a couple bucks,and they might be almost as strong without being bent.
The 361 I had was an earlier production 2004 model, and the older 361's 2004 to 06 seemed to run better than the ones made in the last few years.
I wasn't trying to say that the 026 had more torque than the 361. Just that the balance of chain speed vs. torque was a lot different. The 361 will cut great if you're light handed with it, but lean too hard or get it in a bind and she'd stop cutt'n. The 026 on the other hand had a better balance of torque and chain speed. With both being less than the 361 of course. Maybe it was just that I was more used too and comfortable with the characteristics of the 026. The 362 has good torque along with fast chain speed. A better balance and that makes it feel more powerful overall to me. If all that makes sense...the comment in the original post about 361's having less torque than a 260 seemed misguided to me. I've run each plenty and can't lean on the 260 nearly as hard as my 361.
grats on the new saw after all the torment you gave yourself

Doesn't it just figure that there are all you Stihlheads bangin' your heads against the wall looking for a 362 and I walk by one everytime I'm in the sawshop:greenchainsaw:
