Stihl ms362c or ms461

[stihlaficionado]

Ran 372's past 8 years or so. Pretty excited about the 572, until I got one.
Turned around and bought two 461s. Never saw myself going back to Stihl, but the 461 is a ****ing awesome saw.
Get a 461 while you still can.

Stihl guy myself . That’s a nice saw . I want a 3/4 wrap handle also . Seen some aftermarkets for like $40 but kinda skeptical compared to the oem ones but for those Stihl kits talking upwards of $160 .

That's one thing that's very nice about the Huskies these days. You can buy an OEM kit with the big dogs, full wrap handlebar, and all the hardware for between $30-40. Similar price for 372, 572, 390, 395. Also, the saws are a little cheaper to begin with, which is a plus. $160 for a handlebar is nonsense.

Not nearly the torque of my 372's. Maybe a lemon, who knows. It's my new beater, lol. Still makes for a tax write off nonetheless.

Selling it ?

Came off a 461R that I recently sold. The guy wanted the standard handle but the R upgrades
Bought another R

Do I need extra hardware or does the regular handle hardware take care of mounting that ? How much if selling it ?

You'll need the mounting screws, I just have the handle. You can check the 461 R IPL or ask a few of the Stihl Dealers here.
