Any Stihl MS361s out there..??

[AndrewS]

Afternoon all, 

I’m looking for a 60cc saw to complement my MS260 (firewood saw) and MS660 (milling saw) for felling stuff just beyond the comfortable reach of the 260. I used to have a 361, stupidly sold it and have regretted it since. I’m not wed to Stihl and value durability and reliability over bells and whistles, so no interest in the 362...

I’ve looked at importing a 361 which is still manufactured and supplied to several markets but shipping and import duty make it impractical.

Does anyone happen to have a mint, low hour saw they’d be willing to sell?

 

Of the new saws on offer, I suspect a Makita ea6100 would be one of the better choices but, per another thread here, I wonder how long spares will be available..?

Thanks,

Andy

Is that just the powerhead? What’s the script with import duty?

What's wrong with the 362? We have one at work, it's a great saw. So good that yesterday we bought 2 more of them.

I love my 362... its my daily saw. My older 361 just sits in the bottom of the box and has done for a good while now

361 is an awesome saw, run it with .325 and 9pin and it’s a snedding weapon in softwood. 362 uninspiring ?
