I would take a 372xp if someone offered it to me lol. Maybe once I get settled in more I can hunt a deal on one to have a husky

I have seen a few for about 450-500, seems to be a good price for a good used one.

Yeh sounds reasonable. It seems to be the 440/460 area equivalent. Buts it's orange and not creamsicle so automatically not as cool [emoji57]

Well my stihl dealer in town is kinda meh. The parts lady rocks, but aside from that it's basically just another way for the Case dealer it's a part of to make money. It's not really a saw shop as it is just extra revenue. There is a husky/ stihl dealer about 45 min away from me that has been around since the earth was flat. The guys there know what they are doing and I would absolutely buy new from them.

Gota love some dealers, I have 2 Stihl ones in my town. First one is downright awful. Took a month of hounding them and they still couldn't order me a blasted oil line. Gave up and went to the Deere dealership, there that very afternoon. I had also given the first dealer a chain to repair and got it sharpened for giggles. Chain repair was meh, and the $8 sharpening I was pretty PO about. Swear an angle grinder was used, it actually filed the wood away when I tried it out.

Man, sometimes it seems like the dealers just get so complacent they don't care about quality or customer service.

So the 056 is on the truck out for delivery!

Don't follow the orange rabbit lol

I have a nice one Husqvarna 372 with the HD filter and a new OEM filter cover and with new caber rings I may get rid of for a good price.

Sounds good, he doesn't really like the new stihls as much, he said they just don't have what the older ones did.

Well I just want you to know that it's one of my favorite firewood saws, I will only sell it if I can immediately replace it with a 372XP

Well depending on what you want for it, it might be more than what the father was wanting to pay.

I don't even know what it's worth. I'll have to research it.

The dealership @astnmacgto mentioned is top notch that man has worked on saws and other power equipment since the 70s, he rebuilt grandpas super xl twice back in the day bc he wore it out, finally the crank went bad, he knows i love poulans so he called one day and said i gotta 361 it popped on carb cleaner you can have it. Hes more than happy to answer any questions about saws too. Those kinda people are getting in short supply.

 

[Kensie1988]

I need to find one of those guys around here man, I'm going to a shop today to pick up a chain for the C-5, hopefully they are good people.

I wouldn't mind a 372xp but I like the Red better than the orange, there is just something about it, that's why I wouldn't mind a 2166 which I think is the same as the 372XP

Husqvarnas are nice but ugly. The Jonsereds look way better I think. The 2166 is the same as the 365. The 2172 is the same as the 372.

Ahh makes sense, I couldn't remember, it's hard to tell the actual displacement of them sometimes with their naming.
