Looks like you got a good saw Pogo. I've had an MS362 for about 3 years now and love it.

If I did a lot of cutting I'd buy an additional chainsaw, a small one for trimming limbs with.

If you are ever around Moriarty, Honstein Oil sells their supreme unleaded with no ethanol. It is usually 10-15 cents higher than everywhere else (3.11/gal. today). It is all I will run in the Trans Am anymore. I can sure tell a difference from other pump gas. Ethanol is for drinking.

I like chain saws. Keep them clean and maintained. Get chain sharpening files and guide and keep the chain sharp. Dont hit the dirt with the bar, or abuse it.
Funny how I hear people and so called professional trimmers running there saws. You can tell by the sound they have real dull chains and dont even sharpen them

You're going to develop some great 'chopping muscles' with that pile.
Are you sure you don't want to invest in a 'log spliter' more mechanical than that maul? |

I have been using my Farm Boss for almost 30 years...a number of worn out bars and a pile of worn out chains.
I have a much smaller Stihl with about a 16" bar for smaller stuff, limb trimming, etc. I can easily use it one-handed. Trying to use the BOSS for small stuff will bust your ass. When I go to begin cutting I take a small toolbox with bottles of bar oil, the tools for adjusting the chain, lots of hard plastic wedges, a shot filled deadblow hammer, pre-mixed fuel, spare spark plugs, spare chain and other small possibles. The plastic wedges are a must have.
