    Yep, you should be pleased with that when you get it. Is there anything else we can help you spend your money on? How’s your splitter situation?:emb:

    When did they update the filter? Can the update be retrofitted to one that don’t have it? That’s my only complaint with mine. I need more information on this!!

    I think you need a new top cover though. The larger filter doesn’t fit under the old top cover. But as I understand it from Bob, the new cover fits on the old saw as well

    You had enough people pointing you this way so i didn’t pile on.
    But I think you won’t be disappointed.
    It’s my go to most often and would be even without the extra sausage.

    Stihl 362. Pro model saw 59cc. Ive used Stihl since 1985 and hey have served me well. I own a now obsolete 361 (which evolved into the 362) and love it. Not to knock any other brands, but am unfamiliar with the two you mentioned.

    Awesome to hear. :thumbs: I hope it serves you well for years to come. If I weren’t so stuck on manual adjust carbs, I would have had one long ago. Now the new 572 is calling my name but having 12-13 saws already I just can’t justify it. :faint:
