Look at the stihl 362 the other day. $709 :o I didnt like
what I saw.
So how do they compare to the MS361 that looked slimmer and
lighter for $589?

Dang 362's are 679$ here.
Pro's- Much better air filtration. More torque, enough to
actually pull a 25" bar. Better A/V set up
more fuel efficient. Share common parts with 311's and 391's so
easier for us dealers to have the part you need.
Unlike 361 which didn't share parts with anything.
Con- A little heavier, and price.
The last 361's we sold retailed for 620$ equal 362's are 679$

I would imagine everything inside the new stihl dealer, that is
a JD dealer was highest retail listed. Even the 2 ms460 were 979
989.
It was the closest and I wanted to check out a ms261. No go, but
if I wanted to look at a 290 by george they had me covered. Only
pro saws they had was 200T $579, 362, 460.

The 361 is quite a bit lighter, and the power rating is the
same, outside the US.

Niko,
I picked up a 362 last week. I was very surprised when I put it
on the scale. Now mind you, it does not have the filter and
filter baffle, chainbrake band, three bolts (25mm), the starter
rotor and rope, and a nut, but it did have nearly half a tank of
bar oil. It weighed 13lb 3oz. My 361 weighs 12lb 12oz. I am
thinking there will only be few ounces seperating these two. I
will have the parts to make it whole in a couple of days. I will
re-weigh it when it is finished.

OK, the 362 has everything but the filter. I dumped the oil but
I didn't flush the tank. The weigh was 12 lbs, 13oz. I can't see
it varying more than an ounce or two, so credit Stihl with be
accurate with their weights for a change. I haven't run the saw
to know how it feels in the woods. Right now it is too hot to
run a saw unless it is absolutely necessary. I have all of my
wood cut for the year. I have a little that needs to be noodled
and moved. I may get around to that in the next couple of weeks.

Remember Murph, Niko's scales are accurate to 12 decimal places.
So in his view a couple ounces is a huge difference, and the
sideways balance on the 362 is rubbish also.

Stihl MS 362 CM coming soon I hear. Maybe that will help it
some.
It is old news to most technicians (2015 Bulletin) in the
dealerships but it is not well known outside in the public these
are aluminum bolts that are phosphate coated made by RIBE (AL9)
... they are torque turn bolts +90° and are ONE TIME USE. Stihl
makes an effort to send new bolts with each part number that
requires them. It started with the ms150, and ms241 a decade ago
and has transitioned into the 362,462,500 and any new models
(400.1)
Also =
