Well, the 361 really was the stolen 361xp design, so whatever ....
An old AS joke, involving a certain Belgian.
Doh! Well, maybe when they sell one they just go in back and get out another one?
They are hiding here in plain sight. Right here at the top of the ArnoristSite forum page, click on LEFT COAST SUPPLIES. They are an advertiser here. They are also now a Jred dealer. They have a full line of Jred saws, not just these two. The two sale saws are on the front of their web site. Their web site says that they have 3 left of each in stock.
I see both the new saws have a 45 degree cylinder by the look of it. Just like the 562xp
Well DOH yer self! My post was in reference to THIS one...

That rug really tied the room together.Yes. According to the Troll, all Stihl saws are just 'stolen' Husky knock-offs. Troll would love living in China, where everything is knocked off of a genuine imitation of a replica.
In any event, I think that the 362/2 is a winning design. On paper at least. The specs are not out yet. The Redmax is a good enough saw to run, though I would have bought the rebuilt 361 with the warranty. I can never have enough genuine replica Husky knock-off crappy American built inferior MS361 saws, with vastly inferior inboard clutches that are so poorly balanced, I have to lever them with the dawgs rather than removing the dawgs and not using them at all, like the pros do in Norge. I even run my crappy Husky knock-off genuine imitation American inferior unbalanced inboard clutch OEM 361 saws with 25 inch bars which is apparently illegal east of the Rockies and a capital crime in Europe.
And before people in Norge get all riled up, its a joke...
What is wrong with a redmax for 200$? I am a big fan of Zenoah/RedMax equipment. I have two saws from them and they run flawlessly since years! If it runs well and there are no defects you can cut down a whole forest with them without worrying.Well I'm sure glad you mentioned this! I might just grab the $200 redmax for now. Then wait on the new 362 and 261. One of my buddies said he would buy the redmax from me if I got it.
Any idea what exactly they changed on these new saws?

357xp if ya can find one.
555/562xp/2260 if new.
The 2260 with an 18" bar is unbeatable!!
I'm very happy with my 362 C also, but my brother did run it at part throttle and it did screw up the M-Tronic for a while (stalling & hard to start).
Mine is also ported, and it is my small saw. For softer Maples, Tulip, etc it feels like a Beast, but when you start cutting harder woods, I generally will switch to the 044 before the 20" bar is fully used.
Sorry but this is not correct. The Oleo Mac 962 (which is by the way a 61.5cc saw) weighs less than the 562 but more than the 560. I know old school etc. but it is still manufactured and sold new today.

You can buy them brand new 20km from my workplace.Hmmm - I thought the 162/962 were gone years ago - but maybe not everywhere?
Well that guy turned out to be a liar. So wasnt trusting him again.Yes. According to the Troll, all Stihl saws are just 'stolen' Husky knock-offs. Troll would love living in China, where everything is knocked off of a genuine imitation of a replica.

Is this whole thread really for a trail clearing saw?Just got home with the redmax. For $200 I figured why not. It really wasnt used much. Not as fast cutting as the 562 but build quality is great and it was $500 cheaper. I think it will be perfect for trail clearing.
One with 16" is of course even better....
560xpg is the logic choice here, of course!
