Lets start from the beginning. My first saw was a stihl MS290 Farm boss. Bought it new 5 years ago from ace hardware. It was good for the first 1.5 years then problems begin (what!! Its a stihl! shouldnt be doing this allready!) took it to shop, fixed, fine for a while. back to shop, fixed, probelms again. I allways used fresh gas/oil mix, stihl bar oil, good bar and chains, clean plug and air filter. Took it apart last week and doesnt look good. Im guessing some bad parts from factory. I decided not to put anymore money into it, so I picked up a new STIHL 361 today!! I was looking at the 260 and 270, but guy said too small for what I use my saw for. Paid 609.95 plus 2 20 inch rsc 3/8 chain 20 a piece. tax wAS 45 so 695.34 otd. saw came with 20 inch bar and chain 3/8 rsc. Saw was checked before I left make sure it was running ok. I took it home and started it up (shaking a little bit- saw has so much power). Got familiar with decompression button a little bit and controls.
I am going to be cutting 30 inch or so tree that fell this saturday. I cannot wait to see how it performs.
what I like about it- pro saw, built better than 290 (NO COMPARISON), light and powerful, anti vibe is good
what I hate about it- NOTHING.
ANd now the pictures:
she is sleeping with me tonight, lol
