Slingin' Stihls and runnin' Huskies
16" is getting into 50cc territory...you could argue this for days. OP said that he's pleased with how the 20" setup cuts, so why fix what isn't broke?

I see what you did there.With all due respect Troll, how can you know it is too bulky and clumsy if you have never used one??? Unless you say the same about the 562? and 262?

You need to just have mastermind put some of those bananas in there , after it heads down to tenughsee it will pull that 20" like a hot knife through butter.
Well, the 038 Mag is a larger and heavier brick, but that doesn't change how the MS362 is.Spent all yesterday out limbing a tangle of downed grey box eucalypts,mainly 10-18 inch stuff,in fairly thick scrub.
My co-worker uses an 038 magnum, and begged me for a go on my 362,just to try it out.
After an hour of lugging his heavy sherman tank of a saw around, i was yelling at him to give me back the 362,and he kept laughing and refusing(he's now talking about buying one for himself)
I'm sure in bigger timber the 038 would plough through, but in most of the stuff I'm cutting I'm happy with my "brick"
Hi there skip, I am also from Aus,I really enjoy using my new Stihl 362 with its stock 20 inch bar, but i cant help but wonder if using an 18 would give it even more go.
Most of the wood( aussie eucalypt hardwood) I'm limbing is below 16 inches, and I'm planning on getting a 70cc saw soon,something along the lines of a 461,and using a 20 inch on it,so would an 18 improve the 362,or is the difference minimal?
thanks,Skip
Mike don't go there again.... We all know the 362 is a brick........... Don't we? Russ
Same wt as the 562 Russ, so is that a brick also??? In fact, the websites currently reflect that the 362 is lighter, but they are the same wt for all practical purposed, which is what I said (and got roasted for) all along. Go search some of the wts that members have posted.
562, 262 C, 262, all about 13 lb powerhead, but I've never heard anyone refer to the Huskys as bricks! Perhaps a little bias is showing.
As for the internal/external clutch, I can move my hand 1/2" to the rt on the top handle, but it has been almost 50 years since I took geometry and physics, so perhaps the rules don't apply any more.
This society and world of ours is going to Hell at warp speed, and you all are arguing over 2" on a chainsaw bar?
Hell's Bell's......drop down to a 16" bar and just get it over with.
