I have a cousin who does tree work. Started with Asplundh. Bought a bucket truck. Bought a crane. Makes however much money he feels like. I fix his saws. He has, who knows, a dozen MS362's.
And, you bunch of goof balls likely don't burn a tank a year and babble on the internet.
I do find it entertaining.

I stop by the local Ace and looked at the 362 and a 400. There is only about 3oz of weight difference between the two. I wont argue the 400 is more displacement than the 362. I think the 362 is a dependable saw but with the weight basically the same as the 400 and only $80-100 US difference depending on bar choices its a no brainer to me. The 400 all day.

Guys that run tree services buy all kinds of saws. That doesn't change the fact a 362 is a turd compared to 400C or a 562XP.

I’ve noticed most tree services around my area tend to buy the cheaper 194T for their climbing saws, and the Echo 590s and clamshell Stihl’s like the 271 and 391 are common for ground saws. Hell, I’ve never seen someone besides myself running a 200T
Based on the various companies I’ve seen and/or worked for, they don’t buy what’s best, they buy what’s cheap because the workers tend up tear up any saw no matter the brand or price.
With your 67cc means 70 logic, should we consider the 362 at 59.9 cc a 50cc saw?
The 400 isn’t a 70cc class saw. The 362 was made obsolete once the 400 came out.
I haven't worked on a MS400 . Certainly somebody will drop one or run over it or something and I can play with one.
Alot of tree services guys can barely run a saw. I watched the take down of a big cottonwood at my neighbors this summer and it was painful to watch.
Shame they don't have you to teach them.
Shoot it’s scary to watch grown men that have heated with wood for 40 years drop trees sometimes. Not that all of mine are perfect but it’s wild seeing thing people do. I know when I’m in over my head, That’s when I call in my tree buddy that’s been cutting trees since I was a kid.
I watched him fell a dead oak in my backyard that I thought about doing myself. It couldn’t damage anything no matter where it fell. He shot a line up in the top, notched it, started the back cut with a little tension on his grapple machine. The tree started to go, the hinge broke and the tree swung over about 40’ from the intended landing spot. The top completely exploded when it hit the ground. You just never really know, better safe than sorry.
This was one big red oak I knew I wasn’t messing with. This was a live tree, not the dead one I mentioned. Video below, didn’t post with the comment.
I'd say you just proved my point.
So you consider the 362 a 50cc saw?
No. But you consider a 67 cc saw a 60.
Your statement does not support your argument. It supports mine.

Lmao, Yes at 67cc it’s in the 60cc class… It’s not a 70cc saw. I’m not proving your point.

I love this!!!
You sir, are absolutely correct!!
The argument for whether the MS 400 is a "60cc or 70cc" class saw is ridiculous. Using rounding rules, the MS 400 is in the 70cc category of saws, the CS 7310 is also in the 70cc category; It's dishonest to argue otherwise.
It’s ignorant to “think” like that. It’s a 60cc saw…

It's ignorant to use logic and reasoning?
I guess, considering your geographic location you would believe that!
If you used logic and reason, You’d understand it’s a 60cc saw.
