I was thinking of them backwards - I got 2 yellow chains. Will a green chain stay sharp longer? i wanted to sharpen the yellow one pretty quickly. i may have to try some different onesCongrats, MS362 is a dang fine saw.
Once you get use to it, get the yellow box chain for your bars.
i dont know about a 361. I wanted a new one and if the mtronic works the way it should an easy to maintain sawOk. Help me out. Am I wrong or early on, didn't the 362's have some issue that made the 361 a better saw? is the latter iteration of the 362 improved enough to equal/outperform the 361? Just curious.
Version 2 362 definitely equals/exceeds 361.......just as much top end scream with better low end grunt.Ok. Help me out.

I think the "green" label chains have the double rakers and yellow have the single raker.Yellow chains have double rakers, to prevent gross misuse of the bars tip causing kickback. Also semi-chisels get green labels too. Forget the color label and get a full chisel chain. That makes the BIG difference. As far as dulling goes, keep it out of the dirt, learn to sharpen your chains, and the question becomes moot.

Yellow RS full chisel chain is the go to. square tooth, round file.
That's what it looks like you have based on the picture above. I don't see the double rakers.
mostly firewood and clean up on our 6 wooded acres - the tree down below is not unusualCongratulations, great saw and sounds like a great blend of capabilities with the different bar & chain combo's What type of work will it be asked to do? Pics?
I have this in both 20 and 25”If you want increased time between sharpening, try an RM chain, over RS. RM won't cut quite as fast when new, but will hold that over a longer period of time. I cut quite a bit, and usually use RS, but I sharpen it after a couple tanks of fuel. It doesn't take much to take that point off of an RS cutter. Once that is knocked off, RM will easily out cut it. If I didn't have a grinder, I'd stick with primarily RM.
Looks like a nice block of land. Not familiar with that tree? Is it a maple?mostly firewood and clean up on our 6 wooded acres - the tree down below is not unusual

33RMF92 loops are getting harder for me to find. But I definitely prefer RM over RS chain when bucking skidded logs. They are dirty and side by side RM was quicker overall for me.If you want increased time between sharpening, try an RM chain, over RS.
