036 pro or 562xp

[sunfish]

441 is over a grand on the sticker, I can't see this 462 being any cheaper..

Well Damn!

 

[Moparmyway]

If you can get the more power out of the same sized saw why the hell not....

Exactely !

 

[Moparmyway]

I have yet to read or hear of anything other than speculation. Some say the case is uneven, some say after the base is machined thinner, some say they just break.

Just because you havent read or heard anything other than speculation on it doesnt mean that a few talented saw dudes havent figured it out. Some extremely skillfull guys dont even post much if anything at all.

When cutting the base to drop the cylinder, running a gasket would cause one to machine more off the base, making the base even thinner, and those gasketed ones arent breaking.

Let your wheels spin, whether you're on blacktop or ice is up to you Jim ..........

Saw the first advertisement for one today, 12900kr with heta, about 1600 bucks. A 562xpg is 8000kr only about a grand...

Not quite sure what heta is but I know it comes with heat.

 

[BonScott46]

How rude of me, I forgot to see if anyone wants one at 1600 plus 120 for shipping...

Nobody's holding any secrets back bub. The only wheel spinning going on here is me wondering why you're acting like this is rocket science.
I guess I better go sit back on the porch and let the big boys play... right? Lol

Cash or charge?

Umm, no

It’s not rocket science, and I don’t act

Truthfully, I’d prefer it if you don’t just sit on the porch. You’re a talented guy and the choice is yours, I didn’t allude to anything Jim, I thought that I was pretty clear

I was hoping you'd be a little less vague with your original comment about the gasket delete for those who are trying to have a better understanding why. It has nothing to do with me and I implied that it was my question which was misleading.

A 562xp ported right all the way!!

 

[Cracker Boy]

I believe the 036 and 361 are the lightest 60 cc saw going and there is less then 1/2 l. diff between them with 361 being lighter of the 2 thats why i own 1 of each

 

[MustangMike]

Compare to a 362 Ver II, you may be surprised.

 

[TreeLife]

The version 2 is supposed to be very light.

My 361 has a base delete/ muff mod / timing advance/ 039 carb modded to fit / 460 oiler woods ported intake and exhaust / i also took the plastic horn off and cut down and up and cut it off so she pulls more air instead of thru those little green windows

Is that saw black? Think I may have ran it

Nice saws! Which is your pick and why? Thanks

I'd venture that in soft wood my mofo 036 would assert considerable authority with a 28". It'd be very usable in hardwood also, but I think it'd need the oiler mod.

It's a bit of a moot point in my opinion, just because if I need a saw with a 28" bar, a 60cc (no matter which) isn't gonna be my go to. My 036 is very impressive and fun to run, but being a compact little power house, I like a short bar for limbing and bucking hardwood while grinning ear to ear.

I have some big ash that I'll be cutting in the coming weeks. I'll the take my 28" bar off my 7900 and give it a whirl on the 036. I've got full comp, and semi skip RS and full skip Oregon full skip. Any suggestions?

Ryan, imma gonna suggest that bar swap won't work WO an adaptor....

I should have mentioned that. I'm running a Stihl mount 28" bar on my 7900 with an adapter courtesy of @Homelite410.
