562 is the better saw
Do you like fat chick or models?
That's what I thought to be true. I feel bad about not being loyal to the dealer closest to me that has worked on my saw. I just wish he sold the 562....2260 has small mount, 562 has large mount
Then the 362 is for himHe might like a big snackie.
The MS 362cm is manufactured in the United States. Andreas Stihl started his own company after working for Dolmar. Selling chainsaws before war was of any concern. But he used the war as a way to create capital and grow his business. If Stihl manufactured weapons I would agree with your thoughts, but chainsaws are hardly weapons. And many countries used Stihl's equipment during the war.OK after further review of the history of both companies. I choose Husqvarna. I was named after my uncle who was killed in France fighting the Germans in ww 2 The Stihl chainsaw was invented as a war machine for defense purposes in eastern Europe and Russia in 1926 I believe. After ww 1 it was privately owned for consumers. Just going with my gut on this one. My great great grandfather fought for my freedom and his brother (James) died doing so. I will just drive an hour for parts if I need them. Although my 445 has only needed 2 sprocket 1 throttle cable and 1 carb now. So hopefully the 562 will be as reliable. In 3.5 years of hard use.
They currently produce 1 string trimmer and carbs in China for the most part. A very large portion of Stihl products are produced in the United States. And before the Berlin Wall came down Stihl was located in West Germany which was controlled by allied countries.Hmm maybe to cut down lots of trees to block roads etc. Maybe I am misled here. But just my thoughts and feelings. I also read Stihl opened a new plan in China in 2008.
