2027 Stihl MS 362 20 in

The MS 362 has an optimum combination of torque, power, and weight.

The STIHL MS 362 is a hardworking professional chainsaw built for demanding tree and forestry work, from felling and bucking to de-limbing and thinning. Its combination of reduced weight, strong cutting power, and large fuel capacity delivers an optimal balance of performance and efficiency for long days on the job. Advanced STIHL engine technology helps reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, while bumper spikes provide added control to help make each cut more manageable.

Designed to keep maintenance from slowing you down, the MS 362 features pre-separation air filtration that doubles the time between filter cleanings, along with a lifetime air filter that only needs to be kept clean rather than replaced. The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor automatically adjusts the air/fuel ratio as the filter becomes restricted to help maintain the correct RPM, while the decompression valve reduces the effort needed to pull the starter rope. A side-access chain tensioner and toolless fuel and oil caps add convenience throughout the workday, and the STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue. Rugged, efficient, and built with professionals in mind, the MS 362 is ready to put in the work without adding unnecessary hassle.

Features May include.

Anti-Vibration System

• STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.

Bumper Spikes

• These spikes prevent pull-in and provide better control, making cutting easier.

Decompression Valve

• The decompression valve, also referred to as 'deco' or 'deco valve', vents compression in the cylinder for easier starting. The decompression valve temporarily reduces the compression in the combustion chamber during cranking and helps reduce the effort needed to pull the starter rope. It is opened manually and closes automatically as soon as the engine fires.

IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor

• The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged and maintains the engine’s correct RPM. IntelliCarb™ uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and flow of fuel. As the air filter becomes dirty and less air is available for the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow. This is in contrast to typical carburetors that utilize this air from the “dirty” side of the air box.

Master Control Lever™

• The Master Control Lever™ is an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the Master Control Lever™ to the choke position.

Pre-Separation Air Filtration System

• This time-saving technology boosts the efficiency of the engine’s filter system, doubling the time between air filter cleanings. Air drawn into the engine is first separated via centrifugal force, ejecting the heavier dirt particles before being routed to the air filter. This pre-separation means less dirt to be captured by the air filter, resulting in less frequent cleaning and maintenance.

STIHL ElastoStart™

• The ElastoStart™ starter handle is an exclusive feature of STIHL. It is a starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord. The ElastoStart™ starter grip noticeably reduces the sudden peak forces (compression) normally felt during cranking. The forces which occur at the grip after the first compression stroke are smoothed out.

Side-Access Chain Tensioner

• The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.

Throttle Trigger Lock

• See it in action!

Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers

• Simply lift the lever and twist the caps to remove or tighten. There’s no need to use a tool to tighten or loosen.
