    I bought my first new saw today. After much homework, forum searches, and great advice from fellow site members (you know who you are THANK YOU), I decided on the Stihl 362C Mtronic. I bought it with the 25" bar and chain. While the longer bar won't see a ton of use, I do have a great firewood source that will require it this year. I'm going to dress it with a 20" bar from my 036 Pro and a new RS chain. I might spring for a new bar soon too. The old bar is in fine shape, but it's kinda like putting a pretty girl in a dirty, ugly dress!!

    So on to the pics thing to prove it happened:

    Nice new toy there, you're going to love that one! I never worried about putting a pretty girl in an old dirty dress. Gee, maybe that's why I have a couple of ex-wives! :rofl: :lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl: :lol:

    Beautiful Saw there. I'm sure you'll end up loving that thing, as much as others talk highly of them. :thumbs:
