357 361 as tested by Dneiger

[Cut4fun]

Since alot of new guys wondering about these 2 saws, I thought you ought to be comparing the 357 and 361. The 359 is underpowered greatly till it has had a full modded message. 359 is a semi pro homeowner saw imo.
Also I would like to run one of the DN361's out there close by someday someway.

Here is the link to the Big Dave testing of both saws stock.

The most important thing is that he confirms that the 361 is quite a bit lighter than the 357xp, even though Husky claims the opposite.....


The test cutting doesn't tell us much, as it was done with one cutting attachment setup, in one type, and one size of wood........

10.5 inch maple isn't realy a test of much other than chain speed... Double that size and then retest....

361 modding has developed a bit lately, but not the Husky modding, I believe.......

...and throw a 25" bar with full skip on it!
