At the end of 1960, the 361 D was released, replacing the 359 D. It featured a new body, with a more broad and squarer style than before, although it did carry over many of the mechanical components from its predecessor. The engine was a revised 310D (a 2,685 cc (163.8 cu in) diesel engine), utilizing Bosch-designed fuel injection and electrics and producing 46 hp (34 kW) (DIN SAE) and 157 N⋅m (116 lbf⋅ft) of torque. It had a top speed of 28 km/h (17 mph), and could lift up to 1,200 kg (2,646 lb)

Variants Mk1 and Mk2

In 1962, a differential lock, an hour meter and a padded seat were all added. During the same year, a second model (MK2) was released, featuring a more advanced hydraulic system. This allowed position control, based on the top link draft control, as well as mixing control. The Mk2 also saw some cost-cutting measures, such as the Bosch fuel injection being replaced by a lower performance Simms unit, as well as Lucas electrics replacing the Bosch. The 310D engine was replaced by a cheaper 310A unit. The most prominent exterior differences between the MK1 and MK2 are a spraying device, and a lifting device connected to the hand lever.

Replacement

In 1965, a replacement was introduced in the form of the Valmet 565. The major differences between the 565 and 361 are a smaller rear wheel diameter (24 in (610 mm) vs 32 in (813 mm)), and revised front grille and seat.
