Bored of the 362

[Dan Maynard]

Only question is why it aint called the "" 60 saw" or is that misleading for us simple folk ?  K

Marketing.

 

400C "The world's first chainsaw with a magnesium piston"

 

or

 

363. "Like a 362 but hopefully a bit less crap"

400C precisely 38 better than a 362!

 

(38 what isn't important.)

No saul
A 500i 
Even lighter and even faster [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

500i?
Heavier. (200gm dry)
And slower.
But more torque.
462 has faster pickup and top end whilst in the wood.
(According to stihl,) and I tested both. I’ve posted both videos several times.

But yeah the 500i is bloody tasty, just the OP wants a 60ish cc.

Buying a new chainsaw has never been more confusing  (  professional purchaser) used to be you could go to  a dealer who had a stack out the back and try a couple out,  then hand yr wad over. Now its PDI ed inside the box, an you takes yr chance ?  K

My bad ?

All comes down to personal preference and budget really when it comes to choosing a saw

On reflection....
You might be right.
There’s only a few hundred grams between a 400 and a 500i.
But a serious power difference.
