Go ahead and get both, that can be your christmas present and your new years present.

Im like a kid in a candy store right now. She'll be here today...I might do a little night time felling if the mood suits me...and it will

 

[mdavlee]

Yeah the waiting is the hardest part. I try to order stuff for me while I'm working 6-7 days a week and can't mess with it. That way it's waiting on me when I get the time.

So the weight of the 372XT is still unknown ? I can only find the IPL and noone has put it on a scale ? Would be interesting to see if it is close to the regular 372 in weight.

 

[mdavlee]

The one I handled didn't seem to weigh any more. The jonsered version said 14.2 I think. You can find specs on it on here in the threads about it. I think they might be closer to the truth with the weight now. My 2171 weighed 14.4 with dawgs on it dry.

There can't be much difference in weight. It's the same saw with a different P&C and carb.

Do you leave MS441's strato when you port them? I would think it would be harder to un stratify them because of the way the intake is made. Anybody ever try it?

It would be interesting to see:

1. Weight
2. Power stock
3. Power modded

372XT vs 441.

That is correct. The carb and intake on the MS441 and MS361 do not support the mods I'm doing to the 372XP X-TORQ and MS261. However, the 441 and 362 both respond much more favorably to traditional porting than the MS261 did. I'm doing another 362 tonight.

You'll have to find another sucker for those tests and comparisons. Too much crap came from the 261/346 thread for it to be worth my time and energy.

Haha, I can understand you. Edisto will chime in The 372 should win the weight round. What is your subjective feeling about 2 and 3 ?

Honestly, I'd have to time them. But I think the 441 might come out on top. That's only a guess. I also think it's smoother too. The 372 is far easier to work on though!

Bunch of enablers! Some help you are...

Trying to be a responsible adult here...

372XT looks promising then. Weight of a regular 372, also easy to work on, better fuel economy and powerwise comparable to 372 and 441. Of course it will pull some sales away from the 576. Seems impossible for Husky to discontinue the 372 because of it's reputation

I assume you're talking stock? This X-TORQ is not really a strato any more. I would expect the 441 to better on fuel economy since the strato is still functional on it.

And now for the good news. The saw was holding 11,500 in the cut, with the bar buried in hard Pin Oak.

Brad, is that a Husky hat you are wearing in this video?

One question: How would you compare the sound (exhaust note) between the new saw and the old XP from first hand experience? The new one sounds pretty good on video, but hard to imagine it sounding much better than the old non-strato saw. Love the sound of a 372XP! :greenchainsaw:

 

[blsnelling]

My 372BB has twin 3/4" pipes in the muffler and turns more RPMs and with more compression from the popup, so it sounds meaner on the throttle. The X-TORQ has a nasty idle not though. It pops like a big cam

Yes, that's a Husky hat

Great thread Brad. Good detail.

You've got to love the idle of that X-TORQ, but the on throttle tone of the traditional XP can't be beat.

Cool, thanks for the info, wouldn't want to lose that sound by going with a newer saw. Sometimes I like peace and quiet, but sometimes I like to be heard!

I would have expected a creamsicle hat. Cheers for diversity!
