Using “The King Of Firewood” Stihl MS362 saw for 1st time

Using “The King Of Firewood” Stihl MS362 saw for 1st time. In this firewood video “The King Of Firewood” and I were at the firewood honey hole and he let me use his Stihl MS362 chainsaw time cut some firewood while he loaded my truck with some hickory firewood that he cut the day before.

[@sloth9669]

Let the saw work and stop rocking it up and down.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Trying not to hit the dirt.

[@a-verybasic2]

Trying not to hit the ground makes no sense. Let the saw work you will use half the effort

[@cadenfunk4525]

Yeah man that's what I was thinking

[@deliverybryan1138]

I just got my ms 362 and so far I’m loving it ! Perfect weight and size for a mid level pro saw !

[@johnk5193]

You never have enough wood. Git all you can. I have an ms362. I think you can practically do everything with it. I had a friend call me the other day and ask me if I want some wood. I went to evaluate the situation and he had a tree company come in and cut 5 ash trees, a cherry and a maple. Looks like all 16" cuts. I can pull my trailer right up to it all. It's gotta be 4 or 5 cords. Ash is cash. Thanks for the video Joe! Matt looks fine. He must not be hurt loading that truck and pushing wheel barrows. Praise the Lord!

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

I know it’s money in the bank. I’m not able to pay the King now, I probably owe him close to $3000 for wood that won’t be sold for a year or two

[@Back40Firewood]

362 runnin good....and man that honey hole keeps supplying some wood!! Truck load after truck load....hopefully the King finds a replacement so he can keep hauling!

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Yeah hopefully because I need my truck for deliveries

[@sawsurgeon]

Loves me some MS362... Mine’s first run. Adjustable Carb! I love it, however I haven’t had to make any adjustments in the four years I’ve owned it👍🏼. Blessings to you and the King!

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

We’ll see how it holds up

That's a nice saw. I hope everything works out for your brother. And you as well. You guys are hard working. Stay well.

Should have one of my Grand Junction customers ordering in the next 2-3 weeks.

[@heily-3806]

I can’t decide between 261 & 362 for an all-around saw

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

I really liked my 261 when I had it.

[@rockybrown7713]

I have a Stihl 290 and a Ms 362. Love the 362. not heavy but has the power.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

I used to have 261 and I liked it a lot.

[@jiggs49us]

Woah- a 660 and a 362. Arguably one of the all time great 2 saw combos.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

It’s a good combination Fritz.

[@a-verybasic2]

Keeping the chain parallel to the ground is the best way to keep it out of the dirt. You are working way to hard.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

The only time the bar is parallel to the ground is if the tree is standing.

[@rodneystandish6403]

Nice video Joe I bought a 362 from Star Lawn and Garden about 2 months ago and got about 6 cord done with it so far after about the fifth or sixth tank full of fuel the chainsaw breaks in and starts really humming have a good one and stay safe

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

It’s a good mid sized saw

[@Living-The-Dream]

Love my ms 362 👍🤠 light weight and cuts great! Run a 20 and a 25 inch bar on mine.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

I think it’s best suited for 20” bar.

[@Living-The-Dream]

Joe's Firewood Videos II try it with a 25” , you will change your mind. Less back bending and has plenty of power to handle it

[@tombryan720]

[@markcdeyoung3118]

I've got the MS 880 660 362 and an 036 I got the 362 off of an eBay auction I guess I bid just for the s**** and Giggles as they say I REALLY DIDN'T THINK I WOULD WIN BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE BIDDING ON IT she needed a pull cord and you could tell it had been used and out in the sun a bit DID have a brand new Shtil bar and chain on it AND PICTURE DOCUMENTED 180 PSI COMPRESSION for $220 and free shipping I put a brand new crank rope on it and we've been best friends ever since just about wore the new bar OUT that it came with I just keep dressing and squaring the rails back up as I go the the rail groove did get slopped out enough to where I could upgrade from a 050 to a 063 gauge chain which I have run through plenty of those across that SAID bar 😅 and I did modify the cam on the end of the pump shaft I ground a more aggressive profile on it as much as I could to get it to pump more oil it now puts out just enough to get by now I guess I should really put a high output pump from an MS 440 Magnum on it I be cheap sometimes 😁 I like to use that thick oil like poulan pro the oil stays on your bar and chain better to protect from heat and chain stretch and just general wear I usually run high output pumps and turn that oiler volume all the way up! and in my case it's j u s t enough and none too much! It definitely doesn't over oil but you can tell it increases the oil volume noticeably with the high output pump and reaming the oil holes out in the bar to let the oil flow free I've heard a few people say they're running eight pin spur sproket on it but I tried it and it JUST WOULDN'T pull it very good so I drop back down to the original seven pin but yeah MS362 has got my vote awesome! HeLL of an awesome saw actually! I'd say it covers the range from Big to small jobs for a " got to saw" better than any saw I've used SO FAR!! 😁😁😁 😁👍

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Those are all great chainsaws Mark.

[@northerntoyota7584]

I have a 362 and a 462 for the wood pile. If cutting like you are the 362 is my choice but if you're standing at the wood pile that 462 doesn't bog no matter how hard you work it. Stay safe

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

I had a 461 for a year or so, I am skeptical of the 462 and the Medtronic

[@a.l.l.firewood8883]

That is my go to saw for everything lol

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Yeah it’s good for limb wood but can handle 18”-20” diameter if need be

[@mrglock2313]

You can never have to much wood Joe!! They will start calling soon. Stack it DEEP 🤣 get all the wood you can buddy. Get a couple years worth of inventory 😉😂

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

My biggest hickory customer hasn’t bought from me in 4 months, normally it’s once every 7-8 weeks. If they were still buying like normal I’d still have a 2-3 year supply of hickory here.

[@brettblack7049]

Reading the responses in this video it sounds like everyone has a 362 or wants one, I'd prefer the newest one if I was getting one, I like the mtronic system/carb. I was wondering why you rock the saw when cutting so much, was the chain dull.

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

I usually rock it to prevent it from hitting the dirt

[@a-verybasic2]

Yes , way too much effort rocking back and forth. Let the saw work

[@brettblack7049]

[@MJADoingStuff]

I have the carb that you can adjust. I really like the MS362 it has 20" bar. Upgraded from a old 028WB 16" bar. The MS362 Could oil the chain a little more. I have the pump turned all the way up too.

[@johnowens8992]

Oh dear , had a 460 and got a larger american pump and worked well, its after giving up and i got a 362

A guy cleared out 2 acres of trees and wants help cutting and splitting it all. I will have to share it with him but theres definitely a lot of wood.
