    The smaller 372 is the tried and tested saw that most folks love. The bigger one is the EPA friendly choked out saw that needs more displacement to make the same power. Go with the 71cc version.

    you would have a hard time telling which saw was which if someone didn't tell you that one was 74.5 cc

    They run neck and neck out of the box. The both respond well to mods and are so close it isn't much to make a big deal out of.

    The 372XP is easier to modify. Simple muffler, simple carb, easy to modify jug and piston.

    The 575 with it autotune carb thingy is not going to be easy to modify for a while. Also the 575 is considerably heavier

    he meant differences in the 70.7cc version and 74.5 version. He already ruled out the 575

    So if the 372xpw is the "EPA friendly choked out saw" How exactly is it different than the 372xp. What parts are not the same?

    I ask because I went to my local dealer today to buy a 372xp and they didn't have any on the shelf. I asked the sales guy, not a tech, where his 372's were. He went on and on how they were one of the greatest saws husky ever produced and was sad that they didn't make them anymore. That's when I pointed out that it was not in the 2007 lineup but it was back for 2008. I showed him and he was shocked. He called his dealer rep. and got him out of bed to see if he could get me one. I told him I may be interested in the 372xpw version and the rep said there were none on the east coast but they could get me one if I wanted. That's why I have all the questions. Part of me always wants something that is different or hard to get I guess. I just want to be sure it's as good as the tried and true older version.

    I am not aware of any EPA devices on the bigger 372. Dont worry, if your dealer can get you one I would go for it. Its still the same saw that made the 372XP legendary. Its still a lightweight and smooth powerhouse.

    Dealers will be able to get them in 2008 until all of Husqvarna's EPA credits are used, and then you will not be able to get a new one from a dealer for the rest of the year.

    Get the 372, 71cc version! They are awesome saws overall. My dealer said that has a couple that need new top ends and I'm going to buy them and build one or 2. I don't want to buy a new one even though it is tempting!

    Only epa devices are choked up transfers on the 51mm jug (74.5) it looks like a 365 jug if ya have ever seen one. The 70.7cc version is more free flowing.

    When the XPW's came out with the 74.5cc everyone went on a crazy rave about how they were going to be so badazz, but the 74.5 cylinder was a revamp from the 375K chop saw. Not sure about the epa credits, but I heard they had less credits with the bigger cylinder.

    Either way, they both run great out of the box and they run side by side. Only noticable difference i could tell was the bigger cylinder had just an ever so slightly little more torque. Not enough to write home to mom about, though.

    Yes, but Ed has stated that the 75cc one takes (his) mods even better than the 71cc one, and even beats the modded 7900s.......
