    Runs better with every tank :) Got one more tank through the 362 and about 2/3 through the 441. :D

    My Amish neighbor came by and dropped off some wood. When I was going over the order for the GTG Cants last week, I was telling him what they were for and that I needed some wood to just "Cut" (into cookies) to run fuel through my saw. He said "I can bring you our junk logs from the Mill". Well he brought 3 over today :thumbs: and there are many more over there.

    They are much bigger than the wood I was cutting when he came. The one is a little punky, the other is kinda hollow, and the last is just crooked and awkward (the one my 362 is on).

    And I know I need to take off the plow on the quad. . :( I have to many things to do (like run tanks of fuel through a saw).

    Nice Saw!!!


    Is that a 16" or 18" bar. I love an 18" bar on it. Balanced it out nice. Forester isn't the greatest, but I have had 2 of them, and they are not terrible for the average firewood cutter..

    20" (see sig line). I ordered the 25" when I ordered it, then replaced it with the 20" Forrestor from my MS 440; put the 25" on the 440 when I got it back from MM. The -362 is my "go to" saw, I really really like it!
