Love my 359, gets thrown in the truck everytime we make wood.


Mine went from stuffed up, to the most free flowing muffler you could imagine.

And yes, there is a lot to be gained.

The OP's post is a bit hard to understand. But yes, the 359 is a very good saw!!!

I just sent my 359 off to get ported

Just got in from burning brush piles, the 359 was singin'.

Stock they are bound to get way too hot. Mine's been opened up since day one, and has never seen the ill effects of the evil cat.

Just guessing, all the heat those cats generate can't give the P/C any love.

And the no-cat is corked up too, albeit without the heat of the cat.

I spent a good part of Saturday cutting up storm damaged trees for firewood (mostly locust). I took the 346xp for the small - med stuff and the 359 for the bigger rounds. The 359 saw the most use as there were more big than little pieces (and because once I start that saw, I have trouble putting it down). :soldier:

Simply put, it is hard to beat for firewood. My cat muffler was removed long ago but otherwise stock and I'm still impressed..............Ax.

What I'm getting here is if you're not happy with your 359 you shuld put it down and grab something with a few more cc's.

NO no make it cut faster first:cool2:

My good friend (and neighbor) has a 359 and it is a beast. He dropped it (or who knows) and it is LOUD. He calls it his accidental muffler mod. I don't want to know. :cool2:

He's dropped many a standing dead tree on my property. He dropped 2 and a leaner this past weekend. 7 years he's been a proud owner.

He also thinks it has more HP than the listed 3.9 and having it
go toe to toe with mine, I'm not going to argue that point.

He said I broke ranks buying the Stihl. FWIW it was the 555 I came an inch from buying. Jury is still out all the way around except that the 359 is a proven saw and a bargain.

This is an old thread but its back. Raced my 359 today against 365xp the 365 has muffler mod and 28 inch bar. The 359 has 24 inch bar, both saws had new chains and the 359 hands down killed the 365. They were both bar deep in a fir. The 365 has westcoast falling dogs and the 359 has non and the actual cutting bar length is about an inch difference. The climber I work with said its the the best saw for blocking down a tree he has ever used so I am happy. Next we will race the 372xp he he he

359 is the most used saws during my work. Only one of three in the last 3 years had small troubles.

My personal 359 hasn't gone to a shop for anything in 4 years. Best chain saw I ever had and it has ever been modded, E-Tech and everything. I'm leaving her alone considering lol
