Hey Buckin', when I was growing up one of our neighbors who lived through the woods from us about 4 miles worked at the sawmill sawing logs. He was a big man, about 6'5'' and carried the biggest Stihl saw I had ever seen with a 5-6' bar on it! His name was Jesse Chriscoe ( he was a wonderful man like you). This was in the late '60's - early '70's. Almost everyone burned wood then and hardly anyone I knew had a saw with a 20'' bar. McCullochs and Homelites were the dominant saws! Great video and info! From Sophia, N.C. USA

[@gorrister2977]

I got a 20" bar on my 362. Always loved it. I also got a 31" bar at home but never used it so far. I'll give it a try. My mother in law always used long bars on her Husquvarnas, just for the benefit of standing upright. Well, I must admit it has its benefits. Greetings from the land of explosive trees. P.S.: The oiler on my 362 runs the chain dry as a fart. With 20". I am upgrading it a piston from a 460 US model.

[@Grizzman99]

You know I’ve never really given Stihl a chance but recently picked up a 361 and built a muffler for it. So far I’m extremely happy with it. Gotta get a 28” bar for it and really put it to work.

[@larryritchie7725]

Buckin’ Billy - - - love your videos, and watch them a lot. You guys forget something regarding the 70+cc saws. For us older guys, particularly those with longtime, troublesome shoulder, or upper arm injuries, it’s VERY difficult, if not impossible for us to crank a 70cc saw. So, we use a smaller saw that we can handle - - rather than quit. I’m 80 years old, started running saws in 1953, when I was 10 - - - and I’m not ready to quit, so I use something in the mid-50cc range. Keep up the good work.

[@1d1hamby]

My MS362 definitely needed an upgraded oiler. I put a 461 oiler in it as soon as I bought it, because even a 0.050" gauge 16" bar and chain was overheating due to lack of oil in 12" oak. Now the oiler can be turned down a little with a 25" 0.063" gauge bar. That 362 you have looks like it has been ported and modified looking at the way it cuts. One of these days I may get mine ported. I really don't do a whole lot of cutting like you do. Keep up the great work and thanks for the video.

[@michaelluft2732]

I have a stock ms362 cm I just bought with a 25 inch bar it oils fine

[@w8stral]

@@michaelluft2732 What is your oil used??? If you are using commercial super expensive tacky oil @$20/gallon, you are right. If on the other hand you are using cheaper less tacky bar oil from say... Walmart or free used oil, then no, you are not right. At ~$20/gallon of commercial bar oil, one has to be dumb to not use used(filtered) oil which is free. This necessitates opening up the oiler as it is less tacky. Especially in larger wood when bucking. Likewise more oil = longer lasting bars which are by themselves ~$100. For these reasons, I will only buy saws with ability to vary the oiler away from VERY expensive tacky commercial oil.

[@guss1470]

I remember when I was a Wild land firefighter, I would help the sawyer. He would carry a MS 362 and it worked great. So that's what I bought, I have been using it since, Its a great saw.

[@jonspencer7004]

I’m actually approaching the point of ditching the 59cc 361 and going the next step up as a go to ground saw. I’m not convinced that it’s actually necessary. I think I may just want an excuse to buy a new saw, but realistically the difference you get in power for just a couple extra pounds is a big deal. I haven’t thought much about whether I stand or kneel more than the other. I’m not real tall, so a 20 inch bar does pretty well, and I can buck medium to small logs while standing. I actually buck starting on the side of the log typically with the top of the bar, and that’s how I learned to feel the tip. Best thing I ever did was watch Jacob Wolfinger buck some logs…watched and learned. Great stuff, Billy Ray

[@adupuis8723]

I bought a brand new 362 wrap with 24” light bar, really nice saw, torquey for its size. Only down sides I see is the anti vibe and stringer handle aren’t as well designed as a husky especially the 500 series that I’m most used too. Oil and fuel holes tend to let in more debris too but that’s very minor.

and that's exactly why I run a 32" bar on my MS 362 CARBURETED VERSION I also have a bark box on it, and a WC Saws Foam Air Filter.....I do run Full Skip Chisel Bit chain, and it RIPS !....I did buy the Stihl ES Light bar, which helps with the balance of the longer bar, and it's truely a joy to run.....I'm 75 now, and bending over is not much of an option any more ... I'm an old Orygun Faller and still enjoy the saws.....OnWard.....

[@beebester4106]

Spot on my friend, my 362" is set up very similar and I love it. Been looking at the new MS400 as a nice upgrade in power but with nearly the same size an weight.

[@forrestebert5276]

I have the 362 M tronic run the West Coast Bark Box and their air filtration system. I either run a 25” or a 20” due to cutting in tight places but all upright! I’m 63 and those days of bent over are long gone and it just doesn’t make sense for chains I run a full skip chisel sharp but I m always reaching for my 036 Pro as it’s way more torque to me.

[@BogBones]

This is a west coast mindset for sure. Ohio arborist that runs a 362, 461, and a 661 on the ground on a regular basis. I wouldn’t even think of putting longer than a 20” bar on my 362. I’ll run up to a 28 on the 461, but I’m not putting anything over 30” on any saw but the 661.

[@rogerpowers3891]

I’m curious as to why you capitalized “carbureted version”? Does the bar size make a difference on that particular model vs the m-tronic? I’ve been eyeing the 362 and/or 462 but am stuck on whether m-tonic is worth it or not. If I’m gonna spend money I wanna make sure I get the best bang for my buck and have the best setup.

[@videocardzrule354]

@@rogerpowers3891 I recently bought some land and a new double wide that’s getting built. And I have never owned a chainsaw, now that I own a full wooded lot, I need one. I’m getting a carbureted model Stihl MS362, the main reason why is so I can tune the high speed and low speed needles my self. They are quick and easy to access, and it’s super easy. I have been back and forward all the time on the Mtronic models. I want to get an Mtronic, but look at the old saws in this video. Do you really want to go adding all these electronics to a chain saw? It’s another point of failure. I couldn’t find a consistent answer on Mtronic or non Mtronic. So I read the Stihl reviews on Stihl’s website, most of all the bad reviews “Very few bad reviews” are from people complaining about the Mtronic system. The chances are slim, but they are there. This saw MS362 saw brand new is like $900 bucks plus taxes. So $962 range out the door. We need it to just work and run without issues. I’d love to go Mtronic but I’m just not sure.

Hey BBR! love your content! I'm in Michigan along the the shores of Lake Michigan so conditions here are quite different my friend. I see videos and I have been to dozens of safety shows, conferences and field operations. There's always a speaker who was a victim of some sort of accident and they really get on the bandwagon about safety practices and PPE. "Don't do what I did", is always their message, often they were severely injured or maimed for life. I wish there were more SME's (subjects matter experts) who weren't victims, who followed safe practices, used their PPE and were diligent and good at their craft, not just lucky. Friend I see you wearing Chainsaw pants which is great, BUT I sure would like to see some eye and hearing protection. Please don't take this as criticism, as I think you're awesome and I've learned some great things through your channel. May God continue to bless you with provision and protection, grace, mercy and answered prayers! Safe in , Safe out brother!

[@Lou8430]

Great video, but I saw one thing that really didn't like I'm a retired arborist and back in the '90s I was cutting up a big elm log with a 046 with a 32-in bar, Unlike you did at the beginning with no hand on the top of the saw, I did have a hand but my arm was not locked, about halfway through the log there was a big spike my chain hit it and kick it back and luckily for me that I had my hand on it it caught the chain break just as it cut me, went to the hospital and got 16 stitches so that's why I hate to see anybody cutting a log in that way ; because you don't know what's in there.

Ya Buckin' I run a 362" it's a great saw but I agree with you on it's drawbacks 100%. If your gonna pack that much weight might as well just go up a 70-90cc instead. The weight difference is insignificant, but the power and bar length is huge. Great review!

[@joschmoyo4532]

Perhaps only Aussies will get this but I have a 362 and a 660 magnum. Up to about 20" the 362 is a fantastic grunty saw and I'm very happy with it. But a lot of Aussie hardwood trunks have very thick stringy bark that can overwhelm the lubricant available in the bar. It will just dry out and lock up. So that's when I use the 660. Never had the bar freeze up on me with the 660. I don't think there is anything wrong with the oil pump on the 362 but it does have its limits on Aussie timbers.

[@joelbryant2]

Similar combo mate, 362 and 395xp. Downsized the 362 to an 18"bar and turned oiler up to full

[@smorgdonkey]

I love the sound of your saws when you bang them full throttle. That chain freaked me out a little bit though with the chain being loose (for me) on the bar. That sound though...RAAWK RAAAAAWK!! Stand up and buck! If you do a mod to the muffler to let it flow more freely, will that necessitate carb tuning? That's what they always said about many engines like motorcycles but...

[@OUTDOORS55]

I have a 362 and agree on the weight. I guess if you can only have ONE saw it's probably the one to have. A 261 is way lighter, and the 461 etc, is much more powerful (I've owned both). Doing it again I would have sold the 362 and kept the 261, and picked up another 461 down the road. Live and learn I guess.

[@andybayliss2020]

I agree, I have a 362 with a 20" bar and I think it is a gutless turd of a saw. I would rather have a lighter saw for limbing and a bigger saw for bucking that actually has some power. My 362 never fails to disappoint.

[@grahamgeiger3206]

I own a 362 among many other saws both bigger and smaller. I agree that the 261 461 combo is pretty hard to beat but I still like my 362 for a all around saw. At work it's typically my go to saw as I can run one all day and it's big enough for what I typically run into but small enough it doesn't wear you out to terribly. It isn't as fun as my ported 046 or 660 but I don't get nowhere as much fatigue if running for extended amounts of time.

[@ImpartiallySpeaking]

Could you do a video providing an insight and help provide better awareness re the issue of chainsaws and safety clothing. Rarely if ever do you see manufacturers of safety clothing providing reasonable transparency on youtube re the limitations of the safety gear relative to the chain speed. Where now chainsaws like the MSA300 are operating at speeds of 30 seconds per second, it seems as though even Class 3 safety gear offers little to no protection from accidents involving fast speed chain saws. It’s not unreasonable to expect expensive safety gear to provide a degree of safety protection where it would be useful to hear your views on how users can achieve a reasonable balance.

It wont like eating 28" of harder woods, but it absolutely will. If you get the echo bar open up the oil holes in the bar just a scoch. The pump is great it was the oil hole that was my bottleneck. Went from about 1/2 oil tank per fill up to 3/4 or 7/8 oil tank per fill. Bar and chain look just right.

I ran a 362 with 28 inch bar for wood and fire prevention up until I could no longer walk due to my spine. I grew up PNW and did some professional work as well. The extra length saves a lot of back if you have a working noodle. The issue with the late model 362’s oilers is that they WERE(don’t know if they still are) restricted. Most of the stock ones can be modified to run properly.

[@OOOOOO12345]

How do you modify them?

[@gibbyrockerhunter]

@@OOOOOO12345 its been a while and im on a few pain killers so work with me and check out some forums as well. From what I remember doing to mine you can drill out the “outlet” of the oiler. I picked a bit that was the same size as another one of my saws oilers. I think it was 1/16 larger. But do not quote me on that. And i cant remember if it was mine or another from around the same time but the screw head fit into the plastics with a keyed fit. So it physically kept you from going too low or too high. Meaning you can replace that screw or modify with a file/dremel so you can simply turn it further. Very similar to some you find on carb adjust screws. Also just to point out. They moved the lil screw from where you would assume. Its way in there. Good luck

Ive run my 362 for a few years with a 25" bar and full chisel in mostly oak and ash. In stock form it will pull that pretty decently but after I put a Bark Box and a better air filter on the saw it really woke it up. I have considered putting a 32 or even a 36 on this saw with a half skip for some of the big trunks we see from time to time. Ive found as long as I keep the RPMs up on this saw, but will cut pretty good. But the most important thing, I know how to sharpen a chain. My Dad taught me how to file, but seeing some of the stuff Buckin does really changed how I sharpen now.

Yea the 362 likes rpm it’s not a torque monster. Mine doesn’t like the dogs much with a 25” full comp bar.

[@danielbenedict9236]

I have done a 32" full skip buried in oak and you are right it will cut reasonably well but I think that is all it wants. You can't stop in the middle of the cut and restart you have to lift it up off the bottom of the kerf a bit and get it spooled up before putting it back into the wood but let it self feed.

[@CorwinBos]

@@danielbenedict9236 That was my thought too. Just keep the revs up and let the saw self feed when you gotta run something that long.

I run a 361 and an 038 Mag. With the 361 wearing a 24" bar and the 038 wears a 30". Very noticeable weight difference but the newer 70cc saws are lighter than mine. Need to probably upgrade from 038 Mag to a 660/661 to pull that 30 in the mostly Maple, Ash, and Oak trees i cut. The power difference from 60 to 72cc's is surprising even on the older 038mag and really shows up in hard woods. I see the 361 as my big in tree saw where a few lbs especially for smaller guys like myself can add up. Ive had the 038 working out of bucket truck and its a pain to reach out far with.

[@w8stral]

In this case he is not right with ALL his information regarding oiling. He is ~75% right about the oiler. If in large wood all the time, you need more oil otherwise the chain/bar load up with sawdust and JAMS and you have to continually clear it and likewise do not get oil to your tip bearing at end of bar causing heat/wear/jamming. Now 90% of everyone is NOT in large wood and never see this problem. This is essentially a bucking into firewood problem only in LARGE wood. Fallers will not see this problem. Likewise if you are in SMALL wood all the time, pouring expensive oil all over creation is also DUMB and a waste of $$$ and why you want to squeeze down your oiler on your larger saw if you know you will be running in a lot of small stuff. Most guys just have a smaller saw which comes from the factory... squeezed down and likewise never see this problem. Next point is if you use USED gear/transmission/engine oil(run it through a filter first). I do and therefore have to open my oiler up wider as it is LESS tacky than the commercial bar oil. Differences between transmission/engine oil necessitate this as well. But at ~$20/gallon oil currently, this saves a LOT of $$$.

Good video buckin keep the good work n word going

You make an excellent point regarding going with the 70CC saw versus the smaller 362. In the lieutenant's barn , the shortest bar now is a 24"!!!! Love you all..❤❤❤ Lieutenant Bradley

[@w8stral]

Why You want the more expensive oiler?? So you can open the oiler up depending on the oil type and save $$$. It makes big difference. I use FREE USED ENGINE OIL or old hydraulic oil or transmission oil Gear oil etc. This saves a lot of $$$ compared to the very expensive very tacky bar oil that the commercial boys use as they are more interested in ease of use instead of $$$ and hassle worrying about bar oil.

Was that a Jack Nicholson "All in the filling" 6:28? Nice - Thanks

Jeeze I didn’t even realize the camera work until Buck’n said something. Thank you Kevin! I say thank you because your camera work was so good, I was “sucked” into the video so much I don’t think I blinked one time in 10min😄 Your distance, focus, everything was better than most videos I’ve seen👍 Really good job…..I mean it😉 Thanks again 🙂

Like how those Pioneer's sound....they have a unique tone to them, kinda crisp sounding. Good video brother, lotsa love!

I have run this as my primary saw with a 28” thin Kerf cannon super mini bar for 8 years in hardwoods. It took me three years to track down a OEM wrap handle for it but I finally found one. I also did the bark box and wcs dogs on it. Been a great saw. For anything it can’t handle I run an 881 with a 41” bar. They say that the 362 has the highest power to weight ratio of any Stihl prior to the ms500… I believe it.

[@markatkinson9963]

Look at the 400 cm. Great numbers.

[@andybayliss2020]

the 261 has that claim, not the 362

[@Bredddi]

@@andybayliss2020 good to know, Andy.

Did you get the longer clutch cover as well? Stihl sells a package with the 3/4 wrap, double dogs, roller chain catcher and longer clutch cover and chip deflector. Ordered through my dealer $150ish with tax in Europe.

Great camera work here! I especially liked the walk around of the top while you were bucking the limbs. Stay safe, brother!

The most of the video wasn't even about the stihl?

[@censorshipisreal8805]

One day Billy's skill will level up to where he will be able to just start the saw and it'll buck on its own.

[@jcc3999]

You can adjust oil flow on some models of stihl on bottom there is a flat head screw with a E n a line showing which way to turn to increase or decrease oil flow for different size bars Mostly on the Pro series saws but some none pro's have them husqvarna has adjustable oilers to behind oiler plate there is a small screw number 1 to 4 to increase decrease the Timman has a video on his channel showing it not sure if all husqvarna have them or not
