I have a stihl 260 and 460. A buddy just offered me a nice 036 for $250 is it a good deal, do you think I would use it enough to justify another saw in the stable?
Another saw?

It's a good deal, but I doubt you'd use it enough to justify keeping it around. An 036 is a great choice if you're only going to have one saw, but there's no reason to sandwich one between an 026 and an 046 unless you're really enthusiastic about redundancy. There's no gap there that needs filling.

Can you afford it? If yes then go for it. Might not get a lot of use but I doubt you will regret it. If you do, just sell it.

If it's real nice, I'd buy it, that's a good price on a good saw. The 036 and the 360 are basically the same.
I run a 361, and it's a something else, but they bring a whole lot more money. At that price, I'd pick it up and add it to the collection. Parts are readily available, and without the emissions, they're not making any more of them.

I have a 026 and a 360. The 026 is my go to saw for all but the big stuff. For now I keep a 25 inch bar on the 360. I will be picking up a 066/660 one of these days for the big stuff and then I will be set. Then I will run a 20 on the 360 for a midsize. A 360 with a 20" bar is a monster. 16" on the 026 and a 28" on the 066. Anyways thats my plan for the perfect setup. Thats a cheap price for a 036

Thanks for the replies still haven't made my mind up , agree with all posts, I just hate seeing equipment sit. The only thing I hoard is wood I'm thinking I'm going to pass.
