Man,
I have never been to a site where people are so willing to help other people - even strangers.!!!!!!!!
I called a Stihl place near me again to ask about the pricing of the 362 they had, I see online from various stores they go for $669
The guy said he would sell me the 362 for $575 w/18 inch bar, $585 for 20 inch bar - which sounds good.
I dont know if the 20" would be so big it would be more in the way.. what determines when you need a 20 vs 18 bar? - do people have a tree diameter in mind?
Getting the 361 involves quite a few people, so this will be easier, and still a good saw, again I ma very thankful for your help
Thanks!
Matt
I did find a comparison thread
(1) Stihl 361 vs. (2)Stihl 362
Power: 1) 4.4 bhp ................... 2) 4.6 bhp * the EU 361 has 4.6 bhp, the same as the US 362 (purely a muffler issue).
Weight: 1) 12.3 lb ........................... 2) 13.0 lb
P/Wt: 1) 0.358 bhp/lb................ 2) 0.354 bhp/lb
Smooth: 1) 2.9/3.6 m/s²...............2) 3.5/3.5 m/s² left/right (362 is not much smoother, if at all)
Price: 1)$640 in Tennesee ........... 2)$575
On the 362 they also added the centrifugal air filter system.
Again if you guys could give me some idea of bar size determination....I would appreciate it!
