What do you think Husqvarna's best saw is?

[ropensaddle]

Looks great and also seems she could pull a 32"/8-pin well. I think you should have the 395 ported and see how ya like it. For big wood a ported 390 won't hang when compared. All depends on what ya want though. For felling with a 32", I love my 70cc Stihls. The powerhead's weight and a 32" RW bar just can't be beat for a combo imo. From running a ported 390, 395, and 660, the 660 was my favorite with the 395 coming in 2nd. Even though the 395 is heavy, she makes up for it in brute power. All of those saws were ported by different guys too, I can't pry the 660 off the owner though.

The 24" on it seems to balance well, I have a 36" on the 395 for the big stuff like you see laying there but the 372 actually cut that one as I forgot the 395 that day. I will port it after it get a few hours on it probably only has 28 hours on her now lol

Let me know when you get her ported, I'm sure you will be pleased.

[bummer] I can't say that I liked the 372 any better than my 365, either.

The 365 is one of the most under rated saws out there, very impressive saws for the cc's.

I have wore two out from brand new at my last job. They would of lasted longer but some of the hands were not careful and I was foreman which in line clearance, really just means scapegoat! They still lasted 8 years with people running them as a tiller unbelievable but true!!!!

That says a lot Rope. I still think the 372 is likely Husky's best saw ever, but the 365 is up there.

I agree the 272 is worth mention as well all good saws no tellin what is coming with the epa stuff though. Prolly lower end trouble I will likely just keep building what I have.

Hey Rope, how you been? Haven't seen much of you lately, hope all is well! We might not always see eye to eye but, you're a buddy. Give me a jingle from Garland County if you can.

So when did Husqvarna begin making chainsaws?

Is this some sort of specialty that arose to fill the niche created by the bikesaw movement? I remember they made motorcycles at one time...........

That is a cool web page. The first ever automatic chain brake. Advanced anti-vibe and air filters that stay clean longer. The transition from full choke to high idle is a push of the thumb. Very nice.

What I noticed was that the first Husky saws had a more modern shape than other companies' offerings of the time. The overall shape has not changed much in 50 years.

Husky saws are the same age as I am. Go figure. They still use Mahle cylinders on the pro saws. A lot going for them.

I may end up with one pretty soon, if I don't watch it.......:greenchainsaw:

I still can't find anything that indicates the horsepower and max no-load rpm on a 2100XP.

I don't know where to find that information but as a 2100 user I can tell you that it does not lack for power. Its a great powerful saw. A bit heavy but a great powerful saw with a big and well deserved reputation.

What saw should I get around 100 cc? smooth running is good.

I like the 365 been good to me so far.

I forgot what you told me the difference is...

How big is the 365?

A hair smaller than the 372. The 390 has the inboard clutch and a few less cc's I would have to look the info back up for the exact differences. They are both nice saws though.
