A Shoutout to SawTroll.

ST, when it comes to the MS361 you have been one tenacious supporter, so this 036Pro fan gave in a few weeks back and brought a cherry MS361.



Before I put it to use, I read a post or two from Reindeer ... so I went out and brought one of these little decals.



After 2 and 1/2 tanks this morning cuttting firewood from 6" to 36"+ diameter hardwood of just about every species in East Tennessee both green and bone dry, all I can say is, "WOW!" So keep on with your praise of the MS361. My 036Pro can retire in peace as my go-to firewood saw.

A sincere thanks to you, Reindeer and of course, Terry Landrum.

They don't make saws like that by now.

Reindeer's saw came from me, so I know what I'm about to say is true. I replaced that MS361 with an 036 non-pro, squish band cut by Randy MM and porting work by me.
I would NEVER go back to an MS361!

Didn't you say you lived at high altitude?

Well, at least the exuberance isn't due to oxygen issues.

I ran Nathan's 036 and thought it was pretty strong. It had a 30" bar on it, too.

No one of Stihls only quad transfer designs

The only quad Stihl that isn't also a "strato".

So OldCat, are you saying I should take my tired 036Pro send it to MM then send it to you for the final magic?

My biggest reluctance in both getting the 361 and having it ported was a fear that I would have a high speed screamer with little torque as I am a pretty heavy handed cutter. Boy was I surprised with the grunt this little saw has. I don't intend to use it much for over 18" wood as I have larger saws but today I threw everything at it and I kept smiling.

Other than the decomp, I don't know the difference between an 036 and an 036Pro. I know where a nice 036Pro is and have spent the day trying to resist the urge to buy it - you sure ain't helping me with that.

Actually, isn't the 461 a quad transfer non-strato? I believe the 661 is as well.

Didn't think of those, and don't really know.
