I was wondering what you all thought of 036 pros around here I was looking for a saw to run a 20 inch 3/8s pitch chain on I had an 029 and it seemed to handle the set up pretty well. Just wondering if their is any problems I should know about from this saw. Thanks

I'd say yes. I used a MS360 for while on Mesquite trees. Nice saw.

I have two of the 036 pros and really like em, I use the 20" bar also. I've had em for about 4 years now and have not had one bit of problem with em... well I did have a tree kick back and land on one. Broke the handle and some plastic but can't really blame that on the saw. :D
