I am new to this forum and my question has probably been asked thousands of times before but I would appreciate any insights members are willing to share. My Stihl Farm Boss 029 stopped working today, after 28 years, and I'm looking for a saw to replace it. In the past I would use it a few times a year on my property (8.5 acres) but last Fall a number of tornadoes came through and downed a significant number of trees (150+). The three models above were recommended to me but I'm not sure how to proceed. The 311 is around $509 while the 362 is $780 which is a considerable difference. While I have considerable work to do now hopefully that will not be the case in the future. Also, being 62, I don't think I'll need a saw to last 30 years.
As a follow-up question, if the 362 is the best model is it preferable to go with the M package or the regular. I've had two different dealers tell me different things.
Again, sorry for the duplication of past threads but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
