Couple are listed locally and I may look at one today. Opinions on the model?
 
Awesome saw, only draw back is its a 60cc saw, but it will do the job very well up to 25-30 inch trees.
 
Pros: It's in the 036/360/361 family which makes it one of the best all-around saws you can get - It's not a 50cc(or smaller) tickler that so many members here prefer

Cons: None that are not common to all used saws
 
I think my 036 is great! It will run a 25" bar and chain with full skip chisel chain through Red Oak very nicely. Its even better with a 20" and an animal with a 16".

One of the best firewood saws out there IMO.

Here is my 361 with a 25" ES bar after bucking a nice sized oak tree... :)

I am gonna have to throw my name in the hat for voting the 036/360/361 saw as one of the best firewood saws on the market. Period.

+1 !!!
 
Pros? it's a Stihl, runs like a champ, makes you giggle when you throttle it up!! Cons? They don't give them away for free!! :cheese:
 
I do not have tooooo much experience with chain saw all together. But every time
I pick up my 360 to cut something (now with 16" bar) it puts a smile on my face!!
Simply amazing saw in my opinion.
