My 'dress' would be called a kilt. If I had either.
If I had to fool with that big ol' hard dusty stuff like ya'll have, I'd be with you in that 6 cube class.

No, it's "Ef'-'Mar-Tan'-'Cho" orange.
How do you get 'perfect-pitch' out of a banjo?
When you 'pitch' it in the dumpster!
hahahahahahaha!!!

full weight powerheads (full of fuel and bar oil) were only 2oz difference. between the two. that could be in the scale. you know, there is 16 of them in a lb right? I would like you to put on a blindfold and tell me how you can tell which saw is which based on the HUGE 2oz difference. Heck that is less than the difference between a cheap laminate bar and a good stihl ES or Tsumara bar... The next time i have them at work were the digital scale is, I'll take a pic for the stubborn...
and as for being a hammerheard, that's fine. There is a couple people saying the old 372 is so much better because "it takes to mods better". well good for them. the rest of the site hasn't run them. The XT has more snot out of the box. it also uses about 2/3 of the fuel the old one does. Out of the box the XT is a strong 24" bar saw in hardwoods, where as the old 372 was only a 20" bar saw. you might laugh. Will they run longer bars? sure. will it pull it with authority? no. If you want a modified peaky cookie cutter, go with the old school. if you want a torquey work saw go with the XT. timed cuts in a log on a stand doesn't tell the whole story when felling trees or cutting pinched logs. Torque is your friend and something an old 372 lacked.

It is really amazing that the Japs never has been up to making a proper chainsaw - I got the impression that they aren't really trying, and of course the total lack of taste regarding design always are there + lack of attention to detail. I'm sure they would do it if they tried, but no...:msp_confused:

they have the tractor industry... we dont need any mitsubishi saws running around, akthough kubota orange might be a winner....
I STATED CLEARLY that the weight difference between the old and the new is "negligible".
I AGREE WITH YOU on the weight.
I'm just peachy-keen happy with my old ones, and NOT going looking to spend money to try the strato, 'til I Have To.
If I bought a new one, It'd be a Jonsered, and they give away a couple of ounces, anyway.
You LIKE your XT, I get that, I don't hold it against you. It makes me feel better for when I DO have to buy that 2172, Or whatever.

Well, Komatsu used to own Zenoah (that was the only Jap brand that had a clue regarding chainsaws), and they sold Zenoah to Husky in 2006...

Both the 562 and 372 fit happily in the OP's radius of application, so either would be fine for him. Rather than juggle all of the numbers and opinions here, the best thing for him to do would be to go to the saw shop, pick up and feel each saw in his own hands and then make the call on which one to buy. Some guys won't mind the weight difference, and some will. But the problem in this case is that there is no 562 in stock for him to pick up. :rolleyes2:
Stang is correct about the 372XT having more snot than the original. But nearly all of them come "out of the box" a bit lean, and they will climb even more as they break in. Ya gotta give them a little more fuel, almost a 1/4 turn before even starting them up.

If your leaning toward the 70cc saw and can wait I would go with the 572xp.And don't get any of your saws ported.

No ported saws :msp_confused:
The 562xp is the only saw I've ever run that I feel really doesn't 'need' porting.
And I love running ported saws!!! :msp_smile:

My 372 x-torq is one impressive saw in stock form, balance, smooth power and most importantly torque.
The power band of the x- torq is not what one would expect especially if comparing to the original 372, very different in that respect , the saw just powers through with authority plain and simple.
If you have not run a broken in 372 x- torq, then comments on how it is not even close to the original are sadly mistaken.
It's the new year, run the x-torq version, one of the best things one can do to start the new year off right.

I have only had problems with ported saws.It all started with a muffler mod to an MS310 and I was addicted.I then had to have every saw I owned ported and had to buy a bunch just to get them ported and can not to this day run a stock saw.I tried running a stock saw a year or so ago and went into a deep state of depression:hmm3grin2orange:

Thank you.. I rarely seeing someon praising the XT. I ported mine and MM and it is even better. with a 25" bar it is a force to be reckon with.
stock, the old 372 in like a 440 in terms of power, but not as much torque. The new XT is like a 460 in terms of power and torque. two totally different saws. modded I would like to run the XT against the 7900. If they only made the 75ccXPW XT...... I have one of each and like them, but with the impressive power of the 550xp, I find myself skipping the old ported 372 with a 20" in favor of the XT with a 25".

Where the XT has an improvement in power over the old 372. The 562xp has a HUGE improvement over the 357xp/359! I mean it's not even close!
If I needed or wanted another 70cc saw I would have no problem choosing a 372xp xt.
These new strados really run great and make more power than the 'old' models...

And if (big if) the next gen 70cc outta' Sweden (572XP, XT, AT) follows suit, I predict a lot of AS coverage.

Absolutely, but when? :msp_smile:

All the more reason to port it!! If it's that good w/out porting....imagine it WITH porting!!!
