Which 60cc saw

[bryanr2]

Oh........I know that feeling........We are sick

I changed it anyways.... on to the next.

I was pretty set on buying brand new. I am considering the stihl ms362c for $680, the husqvarna 562xp for $690, as well as the husqvarna 555 for $550. Then this morning i got a txt from one of the guys at the dealer saying he has an ms 361 that he is building. New carb, crank seals, all rubber parts, and new piston. All OEM parts. with 20 inch bar and he will warranty it for 2 years. Wants $370 for the 361. Thoughts? Money is not a problem. If it was i would be going for the 361 without considering the new saws. Thanks!

At least for me Warranty is voided the first 5 minutes it comes home . Warrantys are usually written off by most dealers for "bad gas" or some lame excuse anyway. I trust myself more to work on my own stuff anyway.

Yes, yes. You have made that point many times here. Be advised that in the states we only have access to these weenie vastly inferior MS361 American made saws. We (or at least I) do not have access to any of your vastly superior German Made EU market 361 saws. In future, please assume that any reference to any 361 saws that I make is in reference to the Made in Virginia AMERICAN 361. That may change to include the Brazilian made 361 at some time in future though, as they are available in Mexico and some may drift up this way.

Of course, note also that your vastly superior German Made EU 361 saws cost a vastly larger sum of money in the EU. I would not have been willing to pay the insane ransom that you pay for chainsaws in the EU. As such, I think that the US 361 saws are a far better value, yes? I paid at most $500 USD for new 361s here, out the door. For that reason I shipped many of them down under, and several to the EU when the US dollar was weak and the 361 was still available here. Nuk nuk nuk...

Norway is not part of the EU - but you are right about the price level.

And ain't NO ONE getting ANY wood cut peckin on the keyboard. Lol

Biggest advantage? Sharpen your chain and run the dam saw.

EU is easier to type. Amusing that Norway is not part of the EU though. Proabably wise to stay out of the Euro. You are in the EFTA and the EEA though, yes?

 

[7sleeper]

Just try to find one - and they were known for "optimistic" specs.

I have a store close by my work place where I can buy them any day of the week.

Yea the old "bad gas" excuse. U can be running stihl motomix and they will still try to blame bad gas. lol

Well, if you have $11 hundred laying around, go for it. More saw than you need though. There is new one for sale here in So. WA for a nice price with a 32" on it (for $950) which is tempting me. Only problem is that the warranty is not transferable on sales of Stihl saws (except the smog crap):

Used for 20 min. Way to big for me. Downsizing to smaller saw. Saw is in perfect shape.
Not a scratch or mark on it. Not interested in trades just cash. You will save few hundred
over new. Email with contact info. bought it a month ago. Thanks

continued:........... Matter of fact, I tried to inquire via e-mail with Husqy, but every path was obscured, and confusing, so decided, if I'm a waste of their time, I don't need to waste my time on them either.

i can get it for you if want them really bad

Thank You Robin Wood, but no, that's been several years ago now, and I'm satisfied with what I have.

Just a daily reminder the Dolmar 6100 is the best 60cc saw. This daily announcement has been brought to you by Husqvarna and about 6 beers in. Lol

Well my dealer said he can sell me a new 461 for $890 (before tax). Sounds like a good deal to me, but like u said, too much saw. Especially with only a 20 inch bar.

Dang good price

Yea, I'm posting now because I was out cutting wood all day today (a good sized White Oak, a lot of work).

It amazes me how much bashing the 362 C gets for it's weight, when you never see similar comment applied to the 562 or 262, which weight as much or more.

But you can't change bias, it just continues to dribble on!

Oh, and for the record, when your arms are getting tired of limbing & reaching with the 044, and you switch to the 362, it feels like a feather!

I'm even worse. I limb with a 200 rear handle.
Whole lot lighter than an 044 MAX. Lol
