Best years and or version of the Husqvarna 372 xp

[ft. churchill]

Wanting a 372 badly, and I was wonder what you folks think the best years of these saws are? What year did the xt or strato begin. Anything to watch out for in particular years?

The strato started in 2010. You can spot one for the decompression button is on the top instead of in the side.

The older XP's are a lot alike

There was an XPW that was different (75cc) for a few years

 

[AUSSIE1]

From the year they were first built, till they ceased production.

Don't pass up on a sweet 371.

 

[cpr]

All good, even the xt.

In stock configuration the 75cc XPW would be first on my list, but I've heard the 71cc can be pushed farther (pre-XT).

mmmmm.....When did they cease production........just curious as we still have the old style 365 and 372 here, my 372's on the showroom floor are 2011 models, my 365's are a mix of 2011 and2012's. No XT's although I would like to play with one, and no 560/562's here yet either.

I think the strato version that we often refer to as a 372XT that still says XP on it is a USA EPA thing?

There are also a few 365 XP saws out there that are 70.5cc and differ from the 372XP strato saw by having different transfer covers

Also there are many 365 Specials around that are 65cc closed port and very fine chainsaws differing from the original 372XP in only having 65cc instead of 70.5cc and having the standard air filter instead of the HD pleated filter. The carb and everything else is the same including the carb. They run almost as good as a 372. You can make a 372 or 375 out of one real easily by changing the P&C

If im reading my serial number correctly my 75CC 372XPW was built the 51st week of 2006. I bought it new in Feb. of 2009. So it sat up in Washington for a little over two years. Its a good runner, never a problem. What was the first year of the 75CC 372? Anyone know?

372xp's

I just got a mint 371xp that looks to be a 1996 model and it runs out just great,so I would agree not to turn down a nice 371.

I think the first year was 2006 and the last 2009.

Thank you kindly!

The 75cc xpw is first on my list and don't believe everything you hear.

They are all awesome. And the 371s are just as sweet. My favorite is the 75cc XPW though. I love the wrap handle and would'nt have it any other way. The 75cc engine is just a bonus. :msp_biggrin:

The 372xp(w) has to be in the top three best production worksaws being made today IMO.

I'd like to see the best 71cc 372 against the best 75cc 372. I'm talking a woods ported work saw. I don't think you'd see the difference some of you think would be there.

 

[mikefunaro]

I tend to stay away from the earlier ones with the see through gas tanks. They seem more prone to splitting at the seam. Which isn't the end of the world but you can try to melt it back together (roncoinc) type repair or buy a new tank, which is a large expense.

Same builder building both to lessen the discrepancies and doubts.

Now there's a project for you three fella's!

I believe that is pretty close.....

The real "name" of the 372XT is 372xp x-torq, simple as that.

There no 365xp, and the closed port 65cc cylinders are made with less efficient transfers than the 372xp 71cc ones, likely to open up the performance difference - ie on purpose (this is not uncommon at all).

 

[husq2100]

wasnt the early 371 a single ring piston? and the carb less epa restricted??? what about coils, limited, unlimited?

I still want to see someone put full circle crank stuffers out of the 372xp-Xtorq in a stock 372xp...

Yep, yep, unlimited.

You'd be surprised wants different on the 371 against the 372.
