Any one on here using the ms 362...?

[Rich Rule]

As it says above...

 

Are they any good?

 

Looking for feedback from someone who has used one. I am looking at getting a rear handled saw for climbing with to run an 18 or 20" bar.

 

I like the look of the 362, but have no experience of using one. The other option is an ms441, which is a great saw and most of the companies I climb for have larger saws for when they are needed. Hence the idea of the 362.

 

Opinions please.

 

Cheers

Rich.

Can anyone derail this slightly with a comment about the 441 CM? SOMEONE must have used one by now!

would it be for just climbing ??? personally i would not really want a 60cc saw up a tree in those scenarios a 70cc saw such as the 441 or 372 where the power to get through the cut quicker is a lot more noticable especially on spikes and critical momments in rigging is better in the tree imo,very rare i will take a 60cc saw in the tree.... on the ground and in the woods i would use one all day long though over the 70cc's!!

Just to throw one in the mix, The Husqvarna 576xp is GREAT, loads of power, Can run up to 28 inch bar so would pull 20 inch very nicely and it only weighs 6.6Kgs, so its nice and light.

Cheers matty. You may have just made my mind up there. Good points.

what if a new state of the art 60cc is as good as your 2 year old 70cc??
