New Ms 362

[doddie82]

Saw and held the new Ms 362 that is going to be released in the spring, wow....... Most radical stihl yet....... Very impressive

[dan494]

The 362 is already out? 363 maybe? What's different?

[doddie82]

No it's the 362, new body smaller lighter, little similar to 560xp

[Dobson89]

Any pics??

[doddie82]

That's a no.... I best not I think.

[spudulike]

So whats radical??? Fuel injection, carbon fibre bar?????

 

Why release a new model with an old models name??

 

The 362s I have played with have been OKish but share the MS261s traits of eating clutch bearings and oiler worm drives:thumbdown:

 

Not very radical unless you like fitting spares:confused1:

[Stubby]

Perhaps they have combined the faults of the 261 with the faults of the 560 to make a saw that wont start when hot , snaps brake bands , bolts fall out , destroys clutch bearings and is a gutless lump .....

[The avantgardener]

Maybe the "radical" bit is that Stihl have managed to make the new Ms362 as reliable and usuable as the old Ms361 instead of the bag of shite that mine is.

[dan494]

if it's not this saw its not radical!!

[peatff]

They've made it a different colour ? That's really out there man.
