Between those 3 I suppose it really comes down to what you're trying to do & what your budget is. The 362 will be more comfortable (better AV) and probably smoother, but the 036 will have more grunt & probably can be had for way less money.
What's your budget & intended use?
Rough lonngg use, All day kinda saw, I am young so AV is not really a concern, Neither is weight, I just need a powerful saw that'll pull a 20" with power, and a 24-25" bar for the occasional use.
I want one of those three (narrowed my bugdet scale and need of use to these, (a good pro saw that will see all day use, but may stay in the stable for months at a time)
I guess it's down to the point where i can't choose one of the bunch, so I'll buy the first in good condition one i can find.
OR
If someone has or know's of a saw in that CC catagory, that is nice, I'll consider them too.
Depending on price. I'll look into the 6400, but my problem is the ONLY local dealer around here is a STIHL dealer (plus I do love cream sickles) So i'll keep the dolmar in thought.
Anyone know of a place to find an 036 pro? lol
I'll take a 362. I have a 361 and I'll even take it over the 036 if not for anything else, just the antivibe. People talk on here like an 036 will jerk a knot in a 362 or 361. Thats hilarious. You run a 361 against an 036 and you might see a half second difference in a 20" peice of wood. And an 036 definety will not outpull a 362. On the contrary, a 362 has quite a bit more grunt than a 361 or 036. Anyone who says different has not ran one thats well broken in. I've ran them all quite extensively also. an 036 is just a 361 without good AV. Theres no difference in weight or anything else worth mentioning.
So I guess if you like old school, get an 036.
