Willard, I get 30 wt hydraulic for 150 bucks for a 55 gallon drum. A bargain! But, that's the exception, not the rule.

If its that cold, hydraulic fluid is an outstanding route to take on short bars.

The saw can't be beat in its class. It's not opinion, its numbers.

Ive only used the 346 with a green gas cap. Don't know if that's the better of them or not. A buddy owns the saw and doesn't treat it very well and it has never had trouble. Well built in my opinion, like most all pro grade husqvarnas. Was there a comparable saw in the 2 series huskys? I know...

I see it for sale in the stihl and Husqvarna dealers around here. I used it in my weedwhacker one time because the husky dealer was closer to my house then any of my mixed gas jugs.

I need a 550 or a lightly used 346. I always thought those 346's were a blast. So small yet so capable. For limbing, they were great, IMO. I could walk down a fallen conifer with a 346 and make quick work of limbing with no big saw fatigue from twisting the saw side to side.

I NEVER liked in between sizes until the 562......

Now I see. Back a few years I believe I ran a narrow kerf bar and chain on my 200t's. I could be mistaken. I remember that combo, whatever it was(made by stihl), cut like all hell. I dis snap a few chains though, with whatever style of chain I was running. Mind you, I was harder on saws and bars...

Im not super chain savvy. I know enough to know what I like and dont like I guess you could say. Whats the advantage to low profile chain? Whats the advantage in this instance in particular? Cut faster?

Not buying the modded 562 for that price wouldn't make sense. Talking stock vs stock, my 562 smokes my 361. Though I do appreciate the 361 for what it is. Definitely a great saw.

All mine has ever needed in the last 2 years in gas and oil. It wears a 20" bar, and has more hours on it in the last 2 years then all my other saws combined in that time. Big wood, small wood, you name it.

Magnus Im starting to question your saw knowledge bro.

Ive had to rejet atv's to ride high up into the rocky mountains. Altitude is everything Magnus.

Ya Magnus, I think you're wrong there. When the pros outweigh the cons, professionals will buy it, even with a hefty price tag.

Willard, do you find your saw behaves differently after you do that? Mine is good and broken in now and just absolutely runs like a champ. I love it. I did a lot of cutting of spruce and fir yesterday and it was just an unbelievable tool. Now, we all know even the worst of saws do well in that...

Ill go with that.

Anyone else's 562 let out a small but quick gag when you hit the throttle? mine does sometimes.....

562 spanks the 361. With a leather belt.

Ill tell you what shocks me. This thing stays warm for a long time without needing to be choked. If Stihl could add something remotely close to this to their lineup they'd be a great saw company again.

I seem to think so too. User comfort goes a long way with me.
