Thanks for the reply taken on board, I am leaning towards 362 as I have seen quit a few threads on here regarding the problems with the261
-
The reason for stihl is the dealer is very close the nearest husky dealer is about 55 mile away
-
As the title says , I am after a new saw and drawn to the 261or 362 I am a light user but I want one that will run an 18 inch bar at the moment I have ms 170and ms 250 it has to be stihl as dealer is around the corner, thanks for any input:001_smile:

I'm in the same position work alone and off the beaten track, touch wood nothing has gone wrong but if it did I would get my location of my GPS

I also have the fs 460 which has only been run on pump fuel that is fine , but the 490 would just bog down for the first couple of seconds when pulling the trigger in , I know a couple of seconds is not a lot but when in the forest its a pain I will say when running on aspen once it was at the right revs blipping the throttle it responded alot better than the 460
-
Fair point the only time I use them is to sharpen the blade on my clearing saws.
-
Do the file holders help any?
-
I think I would be walking away from that one.

Hi thanks for the reply but is the fs490 m tronic?
-
Just bought a fs 490 and was running it on aspen from the off, what I noticed was that it was sluggish on pick up after a couple of days I forgot the tub of aspen so had to put pump fuel in it after a couple of tanks the pick up was fine any thoughts?
-
I cut thousands of them down a day all different sizes problem is I think the cost of posting would kill it
-
Well i've never seen one of these before!

I do between 60 /80 hectares a year with clearing saw, I have tried husqvarna chainsaw wellies but feet do get sore after a while, at the moment I have got walking boots, but no protection if anything goes wrong , plus I work in the middle of nowhere sometimes so a bit worrying.
-
Hi, just a quick question, I use a clearing saw for most of my work, so what is the best safety boot to go for, are chainsaw boot the best option, thanks
-
The gear head on my fs 460 broke yesterday.
-
Two weeks ago I slipped whilst using clearing saw, fell on to the handle a broke one of my ribs, the worrying part was when I fell the throttle dug in the ground and the trigger stayed on and my left foot was about 1 inch from the rotating blade, so my question is what is the best boots to wear.

I live in a small village in Finland and have been trying to find some aspen, went to the village shop today and in a corner they had 4 tubs of aspen, now I have 4 tubs in my garage result, and the shop owner is going to re order for me.

If this counts, I have worked for harry styles step dad and mum, saying that robin his step dad is a good friend of mine
