Congrats on the 361, nice saw! Also agree that a 20" bar and chain would be ideal for it. Save the 25" for the odd jobs.
So I went ahead and purchased a 20" bar.I'm also looking into the full wrap handle along with the larger dogs,side panel ect...seems like it would make the saw a little more versitile,I have been searching online and found it runs about 140 for that kit through stihl.Anyone with this current mod on their 361?Thanks
Exactly what I was looking for,thanks for the pics.I also notice the upside down bar on some of the saws,just curious,what's the advantage if any?
I flip the bar every few chain sharpenings. It helps keep the wear even on both sides of the bar. I believe the manufacturer recommends flipping it every sharpening, but that seems a little excessive to me.
Thanks for all the info.I actually felt kind of bad for the guy I bought it from today and have even thought about calling him up and giving him an extra hundred just for good faith.I have seen these go on ebay in used cond. for between 4 and 500,really nice guy,we maid a deal that I would let him use it if he ever needed it for a day of cutting which I thought was only fair,he was in need of the cash.He worked for the forest service and said after 2 weeks of using it on the crew he was told he had to use their Huskey's so there it is.I will definetly purchase some chaps and I do have some experience with cutting but fairly new so feel free to post what you think may help and I will read all and take it all into consideration.Oh yeah,I almost went down and bought a new 362 but have been doing some reseach and just thought the 361 beat it,Thanks again
I've decided that I want to do the kit for the larger dogs,side panel and 3/4"wrap handle for the saw.Are they still available from a Stihl dealer? I did see the part number as 1135 007 1007 on the web correct?I will be visiting the dealer on Monday but I wanted to see if a member here knew,I have read different opinions?

Part numbers should be in this thread: http://www.arboristsite.com/baileys/111330.htm
They should be available from the dealer yet. I believe you can get it all in one set...the "west coast" set.
