362 for professionals all day, 391 for Farm-& Home use. Saw combination that works best for me is: 194 T, 201 T, 261, 462, 661. I am a professional so i need these saws.
Im kinda surprised youd use the 362 in this comparison since stihl is phasing it out next year. The rpm test and bearing size is very telling. I use an old ms310 with a 20" bar and bought a new ms400 with a 25" for most of my firewood and i hardly pickup the ms310 since buying the 400. Theyre almist exactly the same weight,but i cant bare to part with the ms310. Its been a great saw these 15 years and cut untold cords of oak and maple. I replaced the carburetor with a new oem this year because it had some pitting under the needle valve causing flooding,but ither than that its just had routine maintenance.
@mainstreetmower my understanding (if it's the same in the United states as in Europe) is that they're dropping the 362 and current 400 to release an updated 400.1. The new 400.1 would be their only 60cc offering at 62cc and 5.3hp. That's supposed to get released in 2025
Prior to the last updates these saws were known as the MS390 (updated once so 1) and MS360 (updated twice so 2). Then back when STIHL only made chainsaws, before blowers and trimmers, there was no MS (MS stand for Motorsäge (German for chainsaw) and the 0 was in the front. So 039 and 036 respectively, during this time odd numbers were residential and even numbers were commercial with a couple exceptions. These numbers correspond to the cubic inches of cylinder volume, thus 3.9 cu/in and 3.6 cu/in
@@memphis28571 MY 362 a.c. runs great with a 25 inch bar I'm cutting wood not racing. Never had a problem with it can't see buying a 400 so I cut 2seconds faster. If that's your thing great. IDC.
@@courtneykensington8190 yeah they're good saws. Stock for stick a husqvarna 562 is a little faster,but the husqvarna is a fair bit heavier too. And like you said,a barkbox and air filter add alot. I prefer stihls quality and I think thyre easier to work on too.

I’ve never regretted buying a pro model saw. And I have a big grin on my face every time I use my 361 and 661 😁
Yes!!! 💪🏼

As a farmer I’ll take the 362.
I love my 362 had here since 17 picked up a 500i and yep love her too
Both are awesome saws!
hope you were doing some cutting today i was working and switching to nights tomorrow enjoy it brother
391 , clutch drum is referred to as a " Spur" sprocket.
I've seen lots of 391s with broken oil tanks, used in Comercial applications.
Please Expound on the model numbers .
I thought C for comfortable 😳

MS362 is not going away

Yes, what's the rhyme and reason for the model numbering?

Stick a 25 on a 661. Sorted.
Heck Yes
400 is the only answer here
Totally agree it’s an even better saw
That's why stihl is getting rid of it huh ?
@@zackeryeckenrod6549 they’re not getting rid of the 400. Dropping the 362

362 can barely handle a 20in bar. 25 your going to be struggling
It does fine with both. It's no 70cc saw with a 25" bar on it,but it pulls it ok.
If you put an aftermarket air filter on it and a WCS bark box, it just rips I can pull a 30 on my 362 and it doesn’t even bag out

Wrong size , 400cm but more so wrong brand . Husky dominates.
