Which 60cc saw

[Wood Doctor]

Get the Stihl MS361 and fit it with a 20" bar. Mine now has dual bumper spikes, but:


Stihl MS361 Rocks!

I don't cut wood every day, but have 6 or 7 ported saws.

true. well let me rephrase that, might not be the most financially wise approach...but its still tempting... haha

 

[nkila220]

Look, you're trying to be reasonable which is no way to be approaching this. Ported saws rock!

Lmao thats hilarious! Im going to be loosing sleep over this untill i buy something... haha

don't be afraid of a good used saw, esp if its for home use and not to make a living. use the money you save on PPE or extra chains, bars, port job, ect ect

That is a beautiful saw...i wish i could find a new old stock one.
And i will be using a 20 inch bar. I find that to work the best for my height.

Yea that what the rational part of my head is telling me. Would be nice to have $300 to put back in the saving account after i buy a saw.

Not only that, but you could use that $300 to buy another good saw, perhaps a smaller one for limbing cuts, like a used Stihl 026 PRO with a 16" bar or even a new top-handle saw. The possibilities are almost mind-boggling.

40/60cc is a great firewood saw duo.

 

[nkila220]

Yea you guys are right about that too! Then i would have a 40, 60, and 120cc 3 saw plan

 

[moondoggie]

562 makes me happy.

3 saw plan....tough to beat a 550xp/346xp, 372xp, and 390xp.

There is just so many ways you could combine saws. the possibilities are endless!

I really like my rear handle 192, 6100, and 056 super for the big stuff.

 

[nkila220]

Another great combo that makes the chips fly!

Everyone told me my 362 C would not fare well against the comparable Huskys (when it was stock). So I brought it with me to a GTG and it ran very well against a 560. Both saws ran well, both were close in performance. There is video of it at last years Summer NY GTG by Lootbug.

Did something get pulled????

 

[stihlaficionado]

20-30 T handle, 40, 50, 60, 70,80,90, 100+ cc

Some ported…then just maybe you'd have all the bases covered, just maybe.

From the OP and based on my limited experience I would go 361 or 362.

Three saw plans get interesting I see nakila220 mentioned a 120cc saw in a three saw plan - talk about go big or stay home

Others mentioned two saw plans and for me... if I had to pick two of my three saws... I would pick the 241 and 461 ....

 

[windthrown]

Im going to ask if i can get a muffler mod done if i decide to go with the 361.

A dealer cannot modify a saw by law. A stock 361 is a fine saw though. I would go with that with the 2 year warranty (cannot go wrong there). The 361 is my favorite saw of all. The 555 is also a good saw though. I almost bought one of them.

I mentioned it because i already have an 084 that i acquired from my grandfather. I have no idea what the crazy old man was doing with that! haha
