Yep, tbh I didnt know the ms 360 or 361 were still in production, if so i would have given the nod to the ms361 over the ms362. yes I have both a ported 359 (which is nla) and a 562xp. 2012 model that's been used hard and given me 0 issues. 5 bolt case that never leaked, still has the original el42 carb. They did nothing but improve on them since they came out. As he was asking about new saws, and mentioned husqy, and stihl, (not echo so I left them out)not being familiar with larger saws these seemed like the logical 2 to reccomend. After further comments from the OP it still seems logical to reccomend the middle of the road displacement pro grade saws. If your terrible worried about the auto tune/ mtronic the you can drop down to the farm boss/ rancher series. But tbh they dont compare to my pics. Heavier and less powerful. There is the 50cc debate, which I'll consent would also be a toss up between the ms261 and the 550xp mark ii. But again (and this is just my opinion) if were going for one saw to do several tasks the 60cc class is the perfect all around saw. Not too big, not too little. Capable of 18 to 24" bars. Leaves a lot of room for different tasks.
