I don’t believe that is correct. These likes and dislikes are regional. Lots of guys run 372’s, lots of guys run 461’s

Potatoe potato
It really is. West coast is stihl country. I grew up in the Pacific northwest when Scott paper and logging was big. They all ran stihl except guys who moved here from east coast back then. I'm not a logger. My experience is just firewood. Small side business. Price is a major factor for any of us who aren't pros.
 
I’ll skip them all, most likely.

I’ll just keep my eye out for a 372. Or a 440.

I’ve got 60cc covered.
The older 372 ... pre xtra torque is a good saw ... the 044/440 can be made to run very strong with the right modifications ... plus you can run the hole shot filter on it ! Cut all day with no debris getting into the firing chamber !!!
 
I have to disagree with this, dealer support for husky is no issue at all in any state in the US, I quick Google search shows plenty of dealers in any state, as far as department of forestry, I am certain they go with the lowest bidder, that's how government contracts generally work, in my area all the tree service guys run huskys, because they got a better bid from them then Stihl, kinda the same thing, they sell the saws to these at cost and make it up on having the contracts written to make the companys run all husky oils, mix, bars and chains.

There’s a reason MS461s are used extensively: reliability.

Autotune doesn’t live well in smoke.

What he said was spot on.

Talk to the FS guys & you will find out he’s for real.

A pallet of MS461R cost more than a pallet of 562xp.

Fabz is just a hack, plain and simple, he can't contribute anything knowledgeable because he doesn't know anything, it is ok, I have educated others in the past and I am confident with a lot of hard work, he might even be able to figure out the on/off switch, some day.

You’ll do better moving Stone Mountain with a Bronco to Panama City.
 
So I think this 60cc awesomest saw battle has been narrowed down to Stihl ms362 vs Husky 562xp??

Or what?

I’m starting to get confused..

And then the Echo 620 & Dolly Mara 6100 stuck them both & took all their lunch money.

Till the MS362 2.0 was figured out by a certain overall wearing Monkey.
