Nice work indeed !! Glad to hear the 357xp is getting some good reps Its gotta be a wood cuttin animal with the 16 on there That saw is somewhere close to the top of my list !
if I understand correctly the 357 and 359 are pretty much the same saw right? I really like the 357 a lot at this point however I really really want a masterminded 562XP.......if only money wasn't an issue lol Surprisingly enough I iced my back last night took two ibuprofen went to bed and woke up feeling fine. Just a little stiff today so tomorrow will be the worst lol.
Because as soon as I got it running and ran about two tanks of fuel through I realized if it was sitting in the shelf next to the 357 I would never pick it up and use it so I sold it to a coworker lol. They are an OK saw but I am spoiled now.
no, not really. The 359 is the average joe farm/large homeowner saw. The 359 has the same chassis, but has a different piston and cylinder and crank stuffers, makes more power and turns about 1K higher iirc. You have the best one of the group... 359's aren't bad at all, but they both wake up tremendously with port work. you might see me for example say 358xp, that is a 359 with a 357 topend... And I don't blame you, I wouldn't even through a 290/029 at someone as it would kill me to try. HAHA, but if you don't know any better...they are good firewood saws.
