Stihl MS 361 Chain Saw Review

love the 361, its a real workhorse, gets real heavy use in the summer and it needs relatively little maintenance. i run an 18" bar and is my favourite for all medium size stuff, for the size and weight it cuts medium/large timber very quickly and i only take out the 660(with 25" bar) if theres two guys cutting or its a large tree. balance with 18" is good but probably also good with 20" and should think that although a little slower it will still be powerful. change the air filter once a year and carry a chain catcher with you. file with 7/32 the first few sharpens and 3/16 towards the end of the chains life. i have had to replace a quick release filler cap once but in 3 years thats ok. one of the best saws ive ever used.
