stihl ms361 or husqy 357xp with heated handels

[jpbeaver]

i'd get the 361 over the 341 anyday. same weight more power, 361 wins hands down. ive got a 20" bar for mine normally it runs a 16" though.

I have the Husky at work, I only run a 15" bar, but it came standard with 18. I like the heated handles. All my on saws are stihl though, I prefer the easier dismantling for maintenance. It depends what your used to though.

ive got my heart stuck on heated handels now so its gota be a husqy!!

dont sthil do them i thought they did they certainly used to

never seen them on stihl

Stihl got heated handels/carbs, but only in some countrys it seems, here in sweden they do on most models ,,

just as a point to any 372 owners there are two settings for the heated handles wrong one is to heat the carb and if left on for more than a couple of minuits can cause damage to your saw it is in the manual but not obvious and who reads manuals i have disconected carb heater no need in this lovely warm country (england) just thought i would share this sorry if it should have been put somewhere else:wave::wave::wave:
