Stihl

The new MS 361 and MS 361 C mid-range chain saws from Stihl have low vibrations and a variety of innovative features. At 4.4 bhp, the MS 361 offers users the best power-to-weight ratio in the 50 to 60 cc class and an expected lifetime 50 percent longer than the MS 360, the company says. The saws both feature a redesigned anti-vibration system that reduces vibration levels nearly 30 percent (as compared to the MS 360), giving users added control with less fatigue. The filtering system increases servicing intervals by 100 percent and features a filter fleece for dirty conditions of a 70-micron fabric filter for average conditions. Both units are equipped with the Stihl Quickstop chain braking system, side access to chain tensioners, decompression valves, tool-less fuel and oil caps with retainers and an IntelliCarb compensating carburetor.

Dimas

The new RS 8500 rideable saw from Dimas has an inline right angle gearbox configuration that uses 14 belts. The new design transfers power more directly and efficiently than traditional designs, harnessing 10 percent more engine power to drive the bladeshaft, according to the company. The RS 8500 features a protective sealed bladeshaft assembly that operates more than 250 hours before needing to be greased. The saw also has upcutting blade rotation that lifts slurry from the cut, making it suitable for tasks such as joint widening or green concrete cutting. A 26-inch blade expands cutting capability beyond the standard rideable saws' 20-inch blades.
