Wanab,

OK, here ya go. I'm NOT a pro. I'm a 59 year old hack. I just bought a used 361. I put the bar (used 20" ES) and chain (new LGX) on it, fired it up, but I've never cut with it.

Tell ya what, I'll not cut with it 'til the GTG and I'll run it against your RedMax.

No games, just a little gamesmanship. We can run for grins, bragging rights, a little cash or for pinks. Your choice. No pressure, no obligation, no name calling.

When we're finished, we'll laugh and eat some BBQ.

Fair enough?

It is always better if there is name calling followed by thrown punches.......:jawdrop:

Wanab, I worship u man. Look at all the stihl-heads freak when someone states there's a saw out there thats as good as the ms361. To all the stihl guys who are bashing the redmax: how many of you have actually run one (a redmax), not just looked at the manufacturer or the specs and judged it from there? I have run neither (im partial to old magnesium saws), but I just think some ppl should think before they insult a saw they've never run.

I just got the 361 the other day and out of the box it really cuts no faster than most stihls or pro saws for that matter, but I must say that it is the appitemy of a quality saw. When I spend $600 on a saw sure I want it to cut fast but more than anything I want to feel like I got my moneys worth and want to still be using it 15 years from now, thats what the 361 is. I'm sure the red max is a nice saw but there is a reason that any given logging crew, tree removal service, state and cities use stihl or husqvarna and trust me it's not because it is the fastest saw on you tube!

No worries, I will have 2 ported work saws and 2 stockers of the same size so others can see what the modded saws are about.:dizzy: I know there will be other modded saws here also......I will have tools if anyone needs to be assured.

I don't think I can come up with enough $$$$ before then to buy a bike saw.:cry: :cry: :dizzy: Not much use for those here anyway.....

Brian,

Don't you have a credit card? Your attitude is downright UNamerican.

Ents will make sure everything is on the up and up with everybody im sure. i would even propose that he run both saws with like chain just to get an unbiased view.

:cheers:

I don't know about that. I've seen sq. grnd. cut and I'm envious. I have a hard enough time keeping my regular cutters sharpened. If I run sq. grnd. I'll never go back and go crazy (crazier?) trying to keep it sharp.:) :)

I am not all thumbs, I just have parts left over after taking something apart and put together. Obviously, those left over parts were not needed other wise I'd have found a spot for them.
