As always, lots of good advice here.
The advice to sell the 361 and 046 really got me thinking. Doing a quick search of completed listings on ebay, here's what I saw:
Husky 359: $250-350
Stihl MS361: $325-575
Stihl 046 Mag: $450-750
All of my saws are in fantastic mechanical condition, but they don't look as good as they work. The plastic is all free of cracks and dents, but it just doesn't look fresh and shiny.
Judging by that, I could probably get:
Husky 359: $300-350
Stihl MS361: $$450ish
Stihl 046 Mag: $500ish
Is there a good way to make it shine like new? I'm sure there's a thread somewhere about this topic, but I haven't seen it yet.
I've got 18 acres, all wooded, and I'm slowly clearing it as I see fit. There are about 10 acres of pine in the 10-20" range, and 8 acres of hardwoods in the 12-25" range. I don't plan on cutting any of the hardwoods unless they die and need to become firewood. I have been and will be cutting a lot of pine in the 12-16" range. Obviously the 046 makes quick work of it, but I could certainly get by with the 361 or even the 028 Super. I have some 25-30" black walnut and red oak trunks that I plan to make benches/tables/stuff out of, so I could really use the extra umph of the 046 when I'm cutting them lengthwise.
The biggest thing that's keeping me from selling the 046 is sentimental attachment. It was the first saw I ever bought, and it's what I've used to clear my roads and house site.
If I were to sell the 046, I assume the MS361 would be better suited to pulling a 25" bar and 3/8" chain when compared to the Husky 359?
Here's a nice pic of me and my 046 after finding this rotten oak in the woods and cutting it open to discover some really nice wood still in it:
