[hseII]

1 class, but yes.

My limited experience... 357xp, gone, 562xp, gone, 2260, gone. 359 that tbone went through, still chugging away.... Now I have a mint 359 that rattler did number on, he called me up, "I am sending your saw back I would say it has the "wow" factor!"... In that ridge runner accent of his. It is literally still breaking in, running a bit rich but when I cut with it I laugh out loud.
This saw has changed my way of thinking, and for me, a ported 35 niner is where it's at.

I'll put a ported 359 right with the 357xp. Basically same saw cept for a few bits.The cylinder of the 59 isn't as good a quality, but when ported they are extremely impressive!!!

6400 dolmar and echo 590/600p are torquey 60cc saws. Got a lot of time on a 357xp and really like them. 48 mm closed port 365 special is strongest 60cc I've ran. They live in shadow of the 372 so they are not talked about as much. I'd like to get more time on a 562 as I have its little brother 2253(550xp) and really like it.

Exactly.
Living in the Shadow.

I'll soon have a MOFO 361, so maybe my 60cc class saw option will change, but honestly, if the weight is so close to this...

I'll just have to feel if it: I know Doc is World Renowned in small circles.

You are one of the big reasons I got hooked on the 359, a good solid saw that really takes a porting. Heaven forbid, it would be a one saw plan for me in a pinch.
Don, you are part of what makes this site great, always feel comfortable asking your opinion about all things Husqvarna...

Thanks Russ! Now I'm goin to have to build another 359.

All this talk of ported 359s is making me anxious. I've got a 2159 in PA getting massaged as I type.

I just sold a Nice one with a new oem 357 top end...There is also a New 359 in the classified for sale, it's killin me.

 

[sunfish]

One I just sold.

Any of y'all ever run the old 962 olympyk ? They would give the 262 and 036 a run for there money. 034 super in my book takes the bank. Power ,slim body ,and extremely reliable!

Oleo mac 962 = Efco 162

Same saw.

Also 500 bucks

echo 60s made for about 40 years i believe
one of the most reliable saws ever made
husky 61, 266, 262
stihl 036,361

 

[SEAM]

... you forgot the 034 Super

 

[dustinwilt68]

I have owned most of the saws mentioned in this post, to me the 2260/562 is head and shoulders above them all, the 262 comes in second for me then the 357/2156, then the 361, cause let's face it, it's really a husky in creamsickle colors.

Redmax g621, stihl 034 super, echo 590, and even though its way beyond 20 years old homelite super xl auto because they just don't die and somewhere someplace tomorrow there will a bunch cutting wood screaming angrily.

Both are home owner/ranch hand saws. We're chainsaw snobs and thumb our noses at such inferior tools, lol.

Not a bad saw, but far from the best 60cc. A 555 would be a better choice.

Hot-woods ported 362c with custom adapter allowing use of K/N or UNI filter ... with 18” bar she’s right there with a stock 461 .... 59cc vs 76.5 ... who says the 60cc class is no Good ! Lol

 

[TBS]

Ya we get it you have a video of your 362.
