I bought one and ran it very hard. It works so well. I got a 25” bar so I could cut the stumps level with the ground. ❤
Yes, I’m very happy with mine too!
I have one, love it. I’m 74 so I needed a lighter saw, found that if you choke it, decompress and pull it through 5 times it starts on the first pull. Once warm it starts first compression every time. I run longer bars.
Good info. Thanks for commenting!
The 362 isn't a bad saw at all, but you've got a lot of bar on that 60cc saw. Glad to see that you put your PPE on in the later part of the video too. I'm usually a "live and let live" kind of guy, and don't like to tell people what they should be doing, but by your own admission you're not a great cutter yet, so I was nervous when I saw you cutting without the PPE at the beginning.
Oh, and your saw will break-in and the rings will seat within about 10 tanks of fuel, and it will be stronger then than it is right now, so you've got that to look forward to. Oh, and CONGRATS on your new saw!
Very good choice in an all purpose saw! Pretty sure it is the lightest 60cc pro saw. Nice to have the momentary kill switch!
We have 4 STIHL chain saws from the trim saw to the 362, then they are two pole saws, and three STIHL trimmers. Sad part, we use them all quite regularly. Ya got a great saw, as noted in the other comments, wear the PPE and try not to air start it between your legs.
Nice. Stihl makes really good saws, and it should last you a lifetime. I picked up a sthil 400cm, and it's been great.
Nice choice!
I have the same saw and love it. Aside from using good gas and oil, another great way to get the best out of your saw is sharpening your own blades. Its surprising how just even occasional use can dull your edges and how much life you can get from a blade by sharpening it yourself.
Thanks for the tips!
Lucas, thats a great saw. Huge improvement over your other saws
Thanks!
That things is a beast. I think I know why you are measuring the logs in the last scene.
You caught the clue. 👊😊
Be careful with that saw. I've had mine for a number of years. I had a wood biz for years. That was my number one saw. I needed to buy a new one bcuz my older saws were way to heavy. Three pounds means a lot when that saw is in your hands for hours.
Especially while bent over trying to cut a tree trunk for hours.
Lucas: YOU ARE SCARING ME WHEN YOU MOVE THAT SAW ALL OVER THE PLACE AND END UP CLOSE TO YOUR LEG. Keep in mind that you have a longer blade there now., thus more chain. I used to do what you are doing and have a nick in my kneecap to show for it. Nice to see you have all the rest of the gear now. What I found is to keep at least two wedges in your back pocket so that you can keep the log from closing on the saw. All the best and please take care.
I appreciate the concern. I’ve had the gear all along and almost always wear it when I’m actually cutting wood/trees. If I’m just doing a demo cut on a stationary log I didn’t gear up. Seems like the whole internet got fired up about it. 😂🤣. I get it though. It isn’t a toy. I do my best to work safely. Thanks for the comment as always. 👊
Nice saw! I’ve only got ms250 subscribers, so I’ll be sticking with it.😂
I do have a 460 Rancher, which is actually pretty nice. It’s my first Husqvarna. I’ve always owned Stihls.
😂🤣 Gotta give the people what they want. 👊
Non ethanol if possible, and IMO if you’re going to run Stihl Oil, run the orange bottle. I know it is counterintuitive, but the Stihl Ultra is not considered the “healthy” for the saw. Good choice are bar length as well. If you need it you have it and otherwise you get yourself a bit more reach. Will be a great tool on the Homestead!
Thanks for the tips. I actually have a gas station nearby that sells non-eth and I didn’t even think of that. 👊
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead definitely
Nice saw Lucas
Thanks, Butch! I am loving it! 👊
Nice saw. I’d also get a shorter bar too, say 20”, so if you know you’ll be cutting smaller stuff that day, there’ll be a slight weight saving and the saw will cut slightly quicker too.
You know the saw is cutting as the bar disappears through the wood/stem/limb. So no need to lean you body sideways across the saw. For one thing, you’re essentially twisting your lower back while under load. Which is particularly bad for the back. But more importantly, if you get into the habit and one day you have a bad kickback, the saw will be coming for your left shoulder and upper arm. Better to have the saw slightly away from your right-hand side. That way if there’s a bad kickback, the saw will pass to the right of your right shoulder.
I know the saw should activate the chain brake, if a kickback occurs. But what if it fails to do so that one time? Also, even if the sudden movement does activate the chain brake; if you’re leaning sideways over the saw, the bar will still be heading your way and it’ll be carrying a nice sharp chain. Even a stationary chain will give you a painful clonk and could in a severe kickback event, cut the skin.
Great tips! Thank you! I appreciate it.
No way. Thats hilarious you bought that saw. No wonder you told me to "stay tuned". It will get more powerful after a few tanks of gas, once the rings set. You'll love it.
Yeah, I already had it when you commented. 😂
If you like that 362 you would be blown away by the 462 😂
A Tip. when cutting trees on the ground. Saw 2/3rd to 3/4 of the thickness of the tree. Then use the Tip of the Bar to Finnish
I.E bring the Saw back with you when cutting. if not you will cutting dirt, stone
Thanks for the tip. I did nearly hit a rock with the long bar the other day doing what I was doing.
The 362 really comes into its own as it breaks in. The more you use it the stronger it runs until completely broken in. At least that is the way it was with my 362. Great saw! I am looking a getting a longer bar for mine for the occasional tree clean up. I have some very large trees that are almost dead that I will have to cut down and cut up. I wished I had a longer bar a few times on the last one I had to cut down. What size bar are you running on yours? BTW Stihl sells a felling dog kit for the outside of the bar. I added it to mine and I really like have the dogs on both sides of the bar.
Awesome! I’m already thinking it feels strong so that will be great! I’m running a 25”. It is nice!
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead Thank you!
Hey Lucas, now that is one nice chainsaw. I’m guessing that they may be a sawmill coming in the future? Great video.👍🏻
😊👊 Can’t wait to share!
Cameron for the win!! 😂
😂🤣🤦♂️
Nice piece of equipment!!!! Now keep that side by side away from your trees! 😊
Right?! 🤦♂️
You lost me at 3:11 when you started chopping stuff with no earmuffs. I can’t take any advice seriously from a dude that doesn’t respect his own well being.
