picked up a new 362 this week. $640 w/20" bar, my first pro saw. i'm happy to support my local lawn and garden shop. they've been in business since 1933 and since they've brought in stihl products they're really booming. i also got my oregon log splitter from him and i'm very happy with it. his prices are good. plus he's there for service, parts, etc.
all i can say is...whoa. what a saw. i ran a tank thru it last evening, mostly at about 1/2 throttle. limbed up a big fallen pine, then buzzed thru the trunks about 20" accross. that sucker wasn't even sweating, throwing some serious chips while the weight of the saw was doing all the work. this is with the stock safety chain. i bought a chisel chain which i'll put on once i feel its broken in a little. i can't even imagine.
