Another what chainsaw question?

[TGB]

Did cross my mind but the saw is practically new and if the thing was cross threaded, I didn't want to screw his saw, if you'll excuse the pun.

Evening all,

 

I am looking for a new saw which will be for cutting firewood and occasional felling, but nothing big.

 

I was keen on a Stihl ms391, but after reading the posts on here everyone recommends getting a pro saw, as it is worth the extra cost in the long term.

 

So it it down to either a Stihl ms261 or ms362. I haven't gone for a Husky as the reviews are there a bitch to start, unreliable and my local dealer doesn't stock them.

 

I have a 45cc domestic saw with an 18" bar which is constantly getting repaired and I feel it's not got enough guts when needed.

 

My main question is will either of the above saws run an 18" bar ok and what's your all round views on them?

 

I have seen clutch problems posted about the ms261, but there a few years old now and was wondering if Stihl have sorted the issue?

 

Many thanks.

 

Hi BILLY I'm told the 362 a good saw more power TQ THEN A 261 and more TQ THEN A 560 go for a 362 mate thanks Jon

Not quite sure why you're blaming him for your indescision, but seems a bit unfair.

I thought he was just Idolly talking to him. The rest of us are just interlopers.
