Gary all I have read and talking with a friend that bought a new 362. 362 is a flat out turd stock.

Comparing the stroke of the other saws in its class I can see why.

husky 562 46mm bore x 36mm stroke

stihl 362 47mm bore x 34mm stroke

I stopped in the woods today after a small morning job. Dropped trees and skidded for a couple hours. Saw rocks. Dawgs suck! Will order big dog kit asap. We have another new forester and we are dropping bigger stuff now. Its awesome. 24" maple and birch. Threw in some oak too. Gotta get the dawgs though, big help for the birch.

I always thought heated handles were only on the handlebar portion. Realized its trigger and handle. Pumped on that. If i can only get the heat to my feet ill have an awesome winter.

Seriously miss the large dawgs I put on my (stolen) 365 that the 562 replaces. I quickly bought the outer optional dawg and they still suck.

The full kit looks pretty close to what I have maybe slightly bigger.

Bump.

I'm looking for something in this size class. Always loved my ms 361, and have run Stihl, but I don't care about color.

Rebuild the 361.
