    IMO... 20" will provide the best results on the 362, but it will handle a 25" bar if need be. It should loosen up and work rather nicely for firewood hoarding.

    Nice saw. Mine didn't hit full power until at least 5 tanks. I have a super easy muffler mod thread on here somewhere that makes a little more power. Mine will run 25 in hardwood pretty not bad.

    Thanks for the info Luke. Nice to know that someone has actually seen the 5 tank thing work. I'll look into the muffler mod. How old was you saw when you "altered" it. My saw may some day vist mastermind as well.

    ... or any wood. A 20" bar is a better choice for a 60cc, IMO. Still, it's a very nice saw. :thumbs:

    The saw won't wear the 25" bar that often. It's nice to have if need be but, most of my work can be done with the 20"

    Ya know, a 661 would be a perfect compliment to a 362. :yes:

    I waited a while to do mine but I doubt it matters...I don't think Randy would mind either.
