    If I was to ever have a two saw combo that would be it.

    The 357 and the MS362 both got the nod this evening for some noodling of some Honey Locust.

    Dueling saws...

    Both of these saws treat me well.

    I keep hearing rumors that Brad is secretly jetting around the country on the FHC corporate helicopter, collecting vast hoards of locust, all the while lecturing us peasantry about sustainable, responsible locust harvesting :whistle:

    I WAS elite until I bought that saw! :rofl: :lol:

    Run one and it'll be on your next saw to own list.

    I had put the 25" bar on it thinking I'd be bucking the HL trunk which the tree guy did. Decided to run it anyhow with the 20" to noodle.

    Cant believe I've owned it 3.5 years already

    I believe you. Probably going to get one Huskihl has. I sold my ported Redmax last week so that takes care of half the price.

    What about a 461? I had considered NOS one after I bought the 500.

    I had an add on here for one until Kevin told me he had a 500. My old company had a 461 with a 32 inch bar and it pulled it great. Wasn't heavy for a 77c saw either. If I could find one for the right price I'd jump on it

    Why am I seeing used car prices on a chainsaw? My mind boggles daily with the loss of value of the dollar.

    Not that many years ago the '100,000 pickup' used to be a running joke in my circle. We ain't laughing now.
