Well someone had to do it:saywhat: I got my hands on a nice ms361 and a ms440 to make some comparison vids. There has been many a discussion on how strong the 562 really is. Having only run the 62 next to the 72 for the last six months, I've not been able to comment much on the strength of either saw against their Stihl counter parts.
Honestly, I could give a rip less if one is slightly stronger than the other. To me its the whole package weight, control, power and vibes. I've made it no secret that I love my 562 and would recommend one to anyone needing to run up to a 28" guide. Are they stronger than a 440 or 372 28" and beyond, NO but they are near as fast with less abuse on the user.
I had no idea what the results of this LITTLE comparison would be and as I stated frankly didn't care. This is just a window into one or two aspects of a saw and should be taken as a peice of the puzzle when deciding on a new saw.
Sure I did something wrong to make this comparison irrelevant......here it is any way.....:notsure:
