    Cut tankful #3 with the new MS 362. Seems like a great saw so far. Averaging about a face cord per tank on mixed hardwood. Split some of the big rounds with the Fiskars 27. Another great tool. The only thing it wouldn't handle was frozen ironwood. That stuff is crazy hard!!
    I'll post a better review of the saw after a few more tankfulls. image.jpeg

    Awesome looking day. I'd love to have some dry ground here. Congrats on the saw. I here the 362 is pretty close to the 562xp?

    What'd you have to give for the 362 if you don't mind me asking?

    I got denied with the Fiskars this weekend. Some 18-20" red elm. Had to get old Stanley, the 8lb maul out. Even then, it still took a good 8-10 solid whacks to bust it.
