Arnt100's Review of Stihl MS 361 Chain Saw Chainsaw

Overall Rating

4.5 stars
  • Value for money
    4.5 stars
Good Points

Powerful, easy to start & maintain great to fall trees and cutting down trees. Weight to pwer ratio very good.


Bad Points

Get's heavy if you have small limbs much above waist level to cut or trim, this is not a trim saw. The more I cut I wish I would have bought the 460 or 461, the heated handles on the 460 would be great on a


General Comments

I have own or have owned several Stihl saws in the past.

Big fan of the new "White" bottle mix that Stihl came out with last year. It's amazing how after a tank of the "White Mix" oil I could feel the power come back to all my saws & leaf blower.

I traded up to this saw. If you are on the fence when shopping for a saw, I would highly recommend you by one size bigger. I know it's more money, but the bigger saw will save you time, you can always put a shorter bar on the saw if you want.

The MS 361 is a much stronger saw that cuts alot faster than the Farm model that is priced just below the MS361.

I cut 3 to 5 full cords of wood a year on average.

I normally run a 20 inch bar, but I do use a 16 inch when trimming large limbs trees.
