Stihl MS 361-16

Advantages: Saw just not killed. I own it since 2005 (she saw 2003.in.). He took on the cheap already used. Two years worked in the forest, and then fell into my hands, bought for sawing wood for myself and for sale. I used it all the time, how much she sawed out, I can’t say for sure, but during that time nothing in her has ever changed except the sprocket, chains and tires.

Disadvantages: It has no flaws, well, except for the price of course.

Comment: I have its previous model - MS360, it differs from the 361st only by a slightly modified construction and appearance.
Now the saw barely starts, the piston asks for repairs.
After the repair will work as much again (I hope.)
In general, I recommend to purchase!

Advantages: Reliability, power.

Disadvantages: Not. just not at all.

Comment: Saw really like Kalash. I live in the Nenets district and bought this saw, it seems in 2006 and I still saw. It is necessary to cut both in fierce winter and in hot summer, we are sawing a lot, simply can not imagine ... although someone knows)))
They say it is heavy, (tell it to those who are still sawing with the Urals or Friendship) well, buy a 170 model, it starts up easier, although there is a decompressor in this one. Now bought 180 calm. Big saw to cut trifle pity. And a huge plus of such saws, this is the ability to saw in different positions of the ion does not stall. ... So just calm))) I advise. Saw tested over the years, people and reviews on the Internet.

Advantages: For a logger, this is a legendary tool, kind of like the AK-47 for many armies in the world ... A good power-to-weight ratio, ease and ease of maintenance, strong, reliable.
For 12 years a couple of dozen 361 Calmens have passed through my hands. All worked with dignity. In addition to minor repairs and replacement of consumables, I do not remember the problems. And I have something to compare. The saw was more reliable than 440, 461 and many "Husvarn" ... I, however, still have a saw bought in 2006 at home. On it in 2010 I changed the needle in the carburetor (stupid wear), she sawed off at least 300 cubes of firewood with chocks of 25-30 cm. At one time, this saw helped me to repay loans in construction.

Disadvantages: I didn’t find it, because I compared the saws produced in 2005 and 2015 and I was shocked ... The model has not changed at all for 10 years of production. For 10 years, Karl !!! It turns out there is nothing to improve ...

Comment: At the moment I have 7 Drinks Calm 361 MS, bought in October of last year. They work every day, each has a guarantee for a year. One saw was given to the Stiel Center, the carburetor was manufactured, but everything was fixed, there were no other problems.

Advantages: successful saw. for 4 years not killed. day to day works

Advantages: excellent saw half a year and a half thousand trees sawed and sawn

Comment: I agree with reviews of praise, but the most important thing is, let us sometimes relax, he himself saw a burned-out piston and 12 rubles for repair !!!!!

Advantages: powerful, reliable

Disadvantages: heavy if you use houses for pruning trees

Comment: this saw cannot be killed

Disadvantages: In the winter, when logging snow falls under the starter cover, the idle speed stops working. Just release the throttle button and stall! The rest is super!

Advantages: High power, ease of use, reliability, low vibration. Low fuel consumption.

Disadvantages: Not.

Comment: Saw just super. The main advantage - high power, allows you to cut wood the thickness of the entire tire. It is fast and clean. The main thing is to maintain the sharpness of the chain and the purity of the oil tract. Very convenient to clean the air filter. Candle unscrew too quickly and conveniently. Also convenient fuel tank plugs and oil tank. There were no problems with the saw mill. In summer, I do not even close the throttle completely on a cold saw. Just turn on the ignition and pull the starter several times.
The disadvantages could be attributed to a large weight, but for its power, the weight is normal and the saw is perfectly balanced.

Advantages: Quality. The ratio of weight + power at the highest level. Not whimsical and reliable.

Disadvantages: For a very simple person difficult start saws.

Comment: We operate the saw for more than five years. The operating conditions are very harsh. It uses a team of 15 people. Withstands everything and everyone!
