Husky 372xp, the queen of all saws!!

[Freakingstang]

Manual...Great post.


Ben Walker, also a great post. It scares me that i agree with you post 100%



There is a reason I own three of them and to say that they are too close to the 361 is a laughable at the minimum.

I like the 044 for what it is, but it isn't a 372. The 372 should be labeled as the kings brother, not queen. Queen sounds degrading...

I might have to make some vids of a stock 372 and 460. You (SAWTROLL) would find it very interesting that the orange beauty is a full blooded champ.


Some body else said, it Rocks. I agree, nuff said

 

[SawTroll]

They had better be considering how much you have to pay for them!!

As for strength, fiddle with that muffler thingy..

:greenchainsaw:

Some Stihls are really cheap here, compared to the Huskys - the 361, 441 and 660 particularly - but they still cost more than in the US, of course!

Husky 372xpg and 660W (both heated handles) cost about the same here....

 

[SawTroll]

The lineage is-266 begat 268xp, 268xp begat 272xp. Genetic engineering helped the 272xp to beget the 371xp which begat the 372xp. the 372xp was neutered and an illegitimate usurper(575xp) attempted to steal the throne.

Were you in church when you wrote that??? LMAO Thanks for the info guy. Alot of those saws aren't on the chainsaw history page that I have. Any idea of how they went up in hp??? Torque???

About like this;
266se/xp: 66.7 cc - 4.4 hp (?),
268xp: 66.7 cc - 4.8 hp,
272xp: 72.2 cc - 5.2 hp,
371/372xp: 70.7 cc - 5.4 hp.

The 371xp was a totally new design, and not a development of the earlier ones. The 272xp and the 371xp was sold parallelly for severaly years....

 

[SawTroll]

.... I will buy a 50cc Husky long before looking at a Stihl!! I am impressed with the Dolmars, but have my issues with them and thats just me.
Andy

Agreed! :rockn: :rockn:

 

[SawTroll]

I have owned both saws and there isnt a snowballs chance in heii that 361 will run with a 372 when both are stock. ...

I wasn't really implying that it would - I know that much, but the difference probably isn't large enough to make it worthwhile for me, when it wasn't for Roland.

...and a guy with just a few saws has to create some "gaps" to be filled later, doesn't he......

Troll, given your northern lattitude I dont think the 361 would be of much benifit over the 361. I live part of the year in the boreal forest part of Canada and a 50cc saw is all you need in that area. I suspect for your area it's the same given that the tree sizes and types are simular.

Ben,

you are right. Sawtroll stated on many occasions that in his world, trees are mainly birch and a 361 covers largely his needs for that type of wood.
IMO, his desire to get a bigger saw is more based on building a nice private collection than anything else. Operating a big saw also has its own charm I guess. If I had only the saws I really needed, I probably would end up with only one

Sawtroll will certainly respond himself but he's gone for the WE.

Belgian, what I ment to say was that a 361 wouldnt be much of advantage if any over a 346. A 50cc can be quit heroic in small birch and pine.

Here's my 372. It's all you need for hardwood to 18" or so dbh. Anything bigger than that you really should have a 385 or 066.

It's also been my finding that the 372 will make the trees piss their roots.

You need a little duct tape on that cover

Ah yes.. duct tape, the handyman's secret weapon.

dual port

did you do the dual port on the muffler, what hp gain did that give you? that 2171 i picked up from the guy down your way works excellent and i do use the 066 for most trees greater than 22". the last picture of you running for the hills looks like both trees come off the same stump, or is that just trick photography?

Woodfarmer, I guess you could say it's a dual port. It has the stock opening as well as a 5/8" pipe. It was an FMC saw that DC built, I just took out the base gasket and replaced it with thinner material. It rocks.
The tree was actually a double stem so I treated them as individual trees.

Ahh, the pipe's on the queen. here's mine in the princess's clothing (365, with 372 topend). this has worked extremely well for me

Step #1: TAKE THE D__N ORANGE COVER OFF!!

Take the stupid cover off before starting saw

You are probably right, I don't really need a bigger saw than the 361, but I want it anyway, just for the h**l of it.....:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Btw I have edited my shortlist again the past weekend, and the 372xpg is now back on the list......

I feel that the 361 has quite an advantage over my 353 for a large part of my cutting, but the 353 will also do the job if needed, and so would a 346xp.

 

[SawWitch]

Secret message! Don`t tell SawTroll!

I've just told Santa that SawTroll really need a 372xpg.
He promised me to bring him one for Christmas.
:taped:
