I can't say if that's true or not. I can tell you for certain a Husky 357 will smoke a 360, has better antivibe and better filtration. I can also tell you a 562xp will smoke a 361.

562xp will smoke a ms362 as well.
I had to put a piston in one that was a day old after user dogging it in a big red oak with a 36 inch bar.
Right, it's like for decades Stihl saws sucked performance wise.
All you have to do to a 361 is unchoke the muffler and BAM...the best saw ever.
What about a rear handled 200
.What about the 064, what a beast for power to weight.
Too bad they had a front tensioner and rubber AV.
The 462 is a great option, glad stihl is finally catching up in the ergonomics department.
The 241 is a great 40cc option as well.
They would run forever, even ported, but, they wouldn't keep up with a ported husky of the same vintage(ie the 357).
The 361 was a great example of stihl using husky innovation to improve their saws, it was the husky like saw they had ever built.
288
360 is an EPA choked down 036. The 036 has more HP than the 357.
But the Husqavarmint does have better AV and air filter
Maybe on paper, but mod for mod in the wood, the husky will win.
Besides, the husky would also win for ergonomics/handling.
The 036 feels a lot nicer when you pick it up. One of the nicest saws I've ever worked with.
When they came out with the 362, I said it felt like big box with handles on it........
The earlier 362 was the worst of the pro saws I've ran, I had an MS310 that would out run it. It was a turd!
The 036 has a few things I didn't like about it, but it cut wood just fine.
Still slower than a bone stock 562. And with a complete crap filtration system to boit.
Stihl saws being made now largely are copies of huskys.
A 357 will beat either.
That's too bad, they used to be good saws.
And the Huskys are fugly looking too!!!
Only a brand loyal ****** care about things such as looks...
272xp. cut a lot of wood with that saw
I remember that as being a real good one back in the day. The 288 cut real good and made great torque.
Hey, orange is my favorite color , luckily for me, some of the best equipment comes in a great shade of orange
