Mastermind Meets The New MS362C Type II

[weedkilla]

I'm vaguely interested to see where they've put aluminium fasteners. They traditionally give me the fear, of either single use fasteners, or weird pitch/diameter.
Mind you, it'll need some serious extra bananas cos it looks like a heavy 50cc saw for that first cut!

Is this new 362 supposed to be stronger or just lighter?

 

[Keith Gandy]

I agree. This one is gonna get some fuel thru it tomorrow. Then we will see if it does better. After watching that 460 video.......I'm thinking that chain was a bad choice for a new 60cc saw. lol

Chain looked aggrressive Randy?

 

[Keith Gandy]

Randy will wake that 362 up! My 362c was the 1st one he ported and ill say it was strong with torque, , smooth cutting, and very easy to cut with. U fellows just have ur sticker peckin out for ole slow Stihls!!

 

[Keith Gandy]

When I try and decide if I like husky or Stihl I walk in the shop and just confuse myself more!!!lol!! My go to and favorite saw to use is the ported 241c but I do miss that awesome 362c!!!

That 362 of mine was traded to my buddy John Laslab, Cgraham1 bought it, and I think S Tebo has her now. I would like to hear their opinions on the ole girl

Both for the 261 & 362. They are both supercharged and stuff now.

I think the fact it keeps gettin sold kinda explains that one

The 562XP is that saws direct competition......and I have a couple of them. The 362 is probably a more dependable saw.....but the 562 is lighter, and faster.

 

[petedaycab]

i dont think there is a bad pro saw on the market these days, but i would much rather have a dependable saw, than the fastest saw. or just make a dependable saw fast.............

What's the difference on the scale Randy? I saw the 362 comes in at 12.6, where does the 562 come in? Then there's that whole side ways balance thing to factor in

 

[Mastermind]

I need to weigh both saws......the 562 Might not be lighter anymore.

That weight is bone dry correct Randy?

I've found two pics of brand new PHO 562's on scales and both showed 12.8

So.......the 362 is the winner of the scale test.

Today it gets some fuel thru it....

I'm probably going to have to have hernia surgery soon. I don't think I'll be grabbing a saw today.

I'll be there for moral support though.
