Well, the 361 really was the stolen 361xp design, so whatever
....An old AS joke, involving a certain Belgian.

I see both the new saws have a 45 degree cylinder by the look of it. Just like the 562xp

Yes. According to the Troll, all Stihl saws are just 'stolen' Husky knock-offs. Troll would love living in China, where everything is knocked off of a genuine imitation of a replica.
In any event, I think that the 362/2 is a winning design. On paper at least. The specs are not out yet. The Redmax is a good enough saw to run, though I would have bought the rebuilt 361 with the warranty. I can never have enough genuine replica Husky knock-off crappy American built inferior MS361 saws, with vastly inferior inboard clutches that are so poorly balanced, I have to lever them with the dawgs rather than removing the dawgs and not using them at all, like the pros do in Norge. I even run my crappy Husky knock-off genuine imitation American inferior unbalanced inboard clutch OEM 361 saws with 25 inch bars which is apparently illegal east of the Rockies and a capital crime in Europe.
And before people in Norge get all riled up, its a joke...

Ain't no guru of nuthin'
That rug really tied the room together.
What is wrong with a redmax for 200$? I am a big fan of Zenoah/RedMax equipment. I have two saws from them and they run flawlessly since years! If it runs well and there are no defects you can cut down a whole forest with them without worrying.

Hmmm - I thought the 162/962 were gone years ago - but maybe not everywhere?

Well that guy turned out to be a liar. So wasnt trusting him again.
l think all new model future Stihl saws will have the angled cylinder vs traditional vertical setup. While l don't wear a husky hat and would rather wear a stihl one, this does demonstate how the 5 series was a leader in design. It must better utilise space allowing for a smaller saw but would love to know what the engineers were thinking adopting this design. Anyone know the pro's/con's or basic reasons behind it other than size/bulk?

Just got home with the redmax. For $200 I figured why not. It really wasnt used much. Not as fast cutting as the 562 but build quality is great and it was $500 cheaper. I think it will be perfect for trail clearing.
Is this whole thread really for a trail clearing saw?

One with 16" is of course even better....
That is what is on mine.

560xpg is the logic choice here, of course!
They do not sell those state-side, except re-badged in red&black.
Red is the new Orange!

What? You recommend a 16" bar on a 60cc saw?
I read on the UK Hooskavaryna site that the 560 comes with a 13" bar option (seriously!). I think that a 13" B&C would balance way better, spin faster/pull with more torque, be easier/faster to sharpen, and be far more manageable. A Troll bar setup.
And yes, I am joking of course... put at least a 20" bar on that 560!
