Whats the best 60cc saw made in last 10 years

I'm in the 560 camp too. If you have not yet had the priviledge of using one, put it on your list of things to do before you die!

For arb work I'd say the 361 - it'll pull a 20" bar all day no probs (as will the 362 to be fair, but that isn't as good a saw). If it's going to spent its life on a 15 - 18" bar in the woods the 560 is unbeatable, but if you want a groundsaw that can also be used up a tree to chog big lumps out you can throw a 24" bar on a 361 and it isn't going to break your balls mauling it about. Cue everyone whining about not putting anything bigger than 15" on a 60cc saw now... The last thing a climber needs is a bigger powerhead than necessary IMO.

HI MARC I THINK the auto tune now is the way give one more year and that saw with all the up date will be a good one but theres a lot of older 560 around that are at the dealer most of the time and for that not right i will not put up with it thanks jon

Very true Jon. It is difficult to put this saw in 'best 60cc saw in last 10 yrs' so early in its life. Time will tell if it holds all its early potential. The early signs are very promising however. From reading your posts ti appears you are very much a stihl man Jon?

Stihl won't be doing anything like the autotune, the m-tronic has to be adjusted by plugging it in, I did have a discussion with a stihl rep about it, don't seem to be interested what we saw users want, it's what they do or nothing

What years was the 365 a 60cc saw? I thought it had been a non xp 70cc all along.

I think the original; 365 and 365 special are 65.1cc . Don't know about the X torque .
