Mastermind Meets The New MS362C Type II

[Mastermind]

Yeppers.......it's sitting right here on the bench.

I have been waiting patiently for this. Please let us know what all has changed on this saw. I will be interested to see if saw can hang with 562xp.

We are gonna find out........but, I don't have a stock 562.

I'm working on it Numa.

I'm taking it out for a test drive right now though.

Video soon.......

 

[Mastermind]

One cut.........not overly impressed. But, I never am with a stock saw.

I'm gonna go limb a while then make another video.

This one is uploading.

Is that the XP (Xtra Plastic) edition?

 

[Cut4fun]

About time. You seen 261 II across bench yet?

Meet big brother http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/stihl/new-ms462/

 

[Mastermind]

No.......the chain ain't special, but it ain't dull either.

 

[Mastermind]

I cut with it for a little while.......then decided to use it tomorrow before tearing it down.

 

[Mastermind]

I'll post some under the cover pics.........getting them now.

Not yet Kevin. Very surprised to get this saw as soon as I did. The distributor still had 150 some of the old version just a week ago.

Do you have a reg 362 c there for comparison ?

 

[Mastermind]

Do you have a reg 362 c there for comparison ?

No........but I already feel cheated.

 

[David Young]

I thought the differences were cosmetic?

Is it more?

 

[Mastermind]

In this picture it looks like the jug is laid back.....sorta like the 562XP.

 

[Mastermind]

It's just the fins that are angled back though.......

 

[Mastermind]

I have notes on the 362.......when I take this one apart, I'll see if the specs on port timing are the same.
