How come nobody ever told me??

How come none of you have ever mentioned how awesome the 361 is before :hmm3grin2orange: ? Is it a secret or something?

This saw has been sitting on my bench for a while and I finally got around to putting a new P&C and lower buffer on it. The squish .018 and no other mods have been done. This thing is a beast, it is super smooth, powerful and light weight. Here's a vid of me cutting some pine. It has a 20 inch bar with rsc chain that isn't super sharp but not quite in need of a touch up yet.

You may can tell but the cutting slows way down when I hit a knot about halfway into the first cut.

I also made a little chair for the kids.

361 is a fantastic saw for sure. Wont be too long they will be hard to get. Once the remaining one find homes that appreciate them, its over!

I have one sitting on my shelf waiting for an ignition. I have heard great things about them and I was glad to see your post. I wasn't going to change much on mine until it needed serious attention, maybe a muffler mod. Thanks for sharing the information and the chair looks great.

Thanks for the compliments. The chair only takes 10-15 minutes to make and all you need is a chainsaw and an axe. Mom has requested I make another so the kids stop fighting over it

no need for full skip with a 20" bar on a 361. Just no need for it. It handles full comp chain nice buried in REAL hardwood.

I've had good experiences with the 361:

I have lukewarm feelings for 60cc saws, but the 361 is for sure one of the best of that class.

Please make a "how to" for the chair. Its awesome and I suddenly feel the need for one. Need some adult sized rounds though.

I guess he needs a 36" bar on that baby too, eh? :help:

Your post never cease to amaze me. Full skip, blah blah!

About the 361, I absolutely love them. They're so well balanced and light. Not to mention they run really good for a 60cc saw. Always a good choice. I sold mine to get my 372xpw and it was a good choice for me since I have to do alot of falling. Other than that, I miss it dearly. It's the perfect firewood getting saw IMO. I'd say a well ported one would be a real prize.
