Fwiw I just picked up a 362 with ES bar and rsc chain for $578. Most other dealers around me wanted $650.

Well, I finally got the ES bar for the 362, I'm ok with the green chain as according to Sthil, less kickback so for me, a novice, its a good way to start. Got the whole thing for 575.00
Dealer said he should not have quoted me what he did as he took a loss.
Well, I did not force him or anything.........
So I'm happy.
Will be back to ask about sharpening techinques...maybe I'll watch some youtube on it if there is any....
Thanks for everyones input! Greatly appreciated!

Well, I would insist on not getting the ES bar, as the E is a very nice and light one!
ARgh! Don't do that to me! Dealer was upset he commited to do it!

dont worry.. thats just saw troll trying to ruin someones elses joy of a new saw.. dont mind him
Yeah, ole Troll at it again. The E bars are fine on the saws like the 260 and smaller, the 362 should have the tougher ES anyway.
No, the E will always be preferable, also on 60cc saws - but people are told different so often on here by ignorant posters, that they often will believe it is true - and pass that "info" on!

LOL, the E is a laminated bar with no replaceable tip. The ES is a solid bar with a replaceable tip. You can get the ES with wide and narrow nose, if you need to bore. In my neck of the woods, the ES is prefered. We must be ignorant or like well built bars, you decide.
:greenchainsaw: My issue is that a lot of members tend to speak for any "HD" solution, even though lighter and more fitting ones actually exist - some seem to think this is some competition in "manhood", where everything needs to be as "HD" as possible
- to make the poster "look" better!
Of course the ES bars will last longer if none of them are abused - I never disputed that - and certainly there is a place for both......I agree ST!
But I do think the ES bars last longer than the E bars. The replaceable tip does'nt matter as much to me since I've never had to replace one. The ES seems to hold up better to bending and the rails last longer.
So I agree on your "issue", but not on the E -vs- ES argument. But to a certain extent I do. I think there's a place for each bar. I only run E bars on my 260. Not enough big cutting to need he ES.
