Stihl ms362c or ms461

[drf255]

A 461 is close to 80cc. An HO oiler is available. Buy one while you can. They are being discontinued.

I’d skip the 362 and keep the 361. The 361 is more compact and powerful than a 362 in the real world.

Well pulled the trigger an added the 461 to family .

Otta rip with the 20! LOL! I did a similar move after moving into a 462... 20 and 25 bars. Think it should be a good combo for ya!

Ya I couldn’t decide . But I figured since this is my first brand new bigger saw I’m gonna spruce it up a bit an throw some away haha . Have you seen the underside tank an handle protector plate ? Was also thinking of a 3/4 wrap handle but the oem kit is pricey . Seen a aftermarket one for like $30 but it’s just the handle an not gonna gamble on it , rather put towards the stihl oem Kit one down the rd

...I have now a ms361 an 261c .

You do NOT want to trade a 361 for a 362. I would trade it for a 461 thought, and keep the 261. Great combination.

I still have the 361 . Was debating if it’s worth selling towards a 362 or if the 361 is still better an don’t wanna regret it . But the 361 is a great runner an does awesome so might just keep that .

Gots to give up something, to get the light, but hopefully it is still tough (at least enough).
