My 365/372 now sportin the Big Dogs

[BigDaddyR]

Okay so when I first started seeing the big saw dogs I had no idea why it wound be necessary until someone explained to me that the bark on some trees was thicker and the bigger dogs were needed to get a better bite for leveraging the saw. I bought this set from Haywire and before they got here last week I went to cut on a big oak trunk and found that I couldn't get a good bite with the OE dogs because the bark was so thick. I realized then I made a good decision in buying them.

Well they came Thursday and I finally got to put them on today. They fit like a glove. They are from a 372xpw I think

Bad: I only get about 24" of the 28" Techlite to use. Saw no longer fits in the power box.

Good: They look great and will help out in the thicker bark and when more bite is needed. I now have an empty power box for a 346 when I get the cash. Either way I have an empty box to fill on my way to a 4 saw plan. 40cc, 50cc, 70cc, and 95-120cc.:hmm3grin2orange:

sweet dogs. i got the same ones on my 372. yer next go is a full wrap handle bar. i got mine with the full wrap already on it so when i would use my 365 i always felt ripped off cause it doesn't have the full wrap. the little pecker dogs off the 365 sure are terrible. for around here anyways. sweet upgrade :msp_thumbup:

True. I was teetering back and forth on the full wrap but after the last big tree that I dropped that will be my next upgrade for this saw. Just frustrating when you can't get a comfortable grip you want.

I use twin dogs or west coast dogs plus the full wrap handle on most saws.
I do not like walking around a tree that’s knotched to switch sides for the back cut it’s unsafe. Barber chairs?
