I am selling 2 guitars and an amplifier to get enough money to buy myself a husky 372XP. Think this is a good saw? Want a husky though.

One of their best. If it's a 70cc saw you're after this is the saw for you.
I bought one to fit in between a Stihl MS260 and a 660 and really like it. I have a 24" bar and it pulls it very well.

I would have to agree on the 20" bar.

Great saw have two that get used almost daily but a 24" bar suites me best.

i disagree on the 24" bar,
i have two 372s.one with a 20" and one with a 24" .it flat screams with a 24".i have another with a 20" and i like the 24" better.
best saw made in my opinion.for a few more months anyway.

That has to be a Simon one, or something like that........:greenchainsaw:
Imo it balances a 20" the best, a a 24" pretty well also, depending on how you like the balance.

I guess it all depends on the owner I like the power it has with the 20" then again mine is stock. I guess it probably wouldn't be all that bad with a 24" but I can run it down pretty easy with what I have and yes the chains are sharp.
I ran one with a 28" bar and I can't say it was powerful enough for my likings but like I said depends on the owner.

Great saw! It will scream with a 24" bar and full comp chain no problem. I have one with a muffler mod and you can't stop it, it is an animal.

Tell me why? A 372xp can bog in anything over 20'' hardwood pretty easy. I am saying this from experience!!! 20'' is a good setup for certain tasks!!

372 Xp
There are so many reasons as to why your saw is bogging down, here is just a few, the way the chain has been sharpened or not, the tuneing of the saw, a clogged mufler screen and not letting the saw do the work, like I said could just about any and every thing, so just try and start with the simplest first and work your way though, Cheers.

i can bog a 66 with a 20in bar. its not what ya cut but how ya cut it. imo a 372 is way too heavy for such a small bar and will whipe out your back from all the bending over. some times i wish my top handle had a 20in bar. yeah i know, a 20in bar is big..... for wallmart

thanks for the info everyone. Does the 372XP come stock with a 20" bar?
