ArboristSite Lurker
Hi everyone. I've discovered arboristsite a few weeks ago when considering the purchase of a new saw. I'm glad that I ran into this place because I really feel that I could use some advise.
I've been reading up on Huskys a bit because I have decided to step it up a notch from what I've own previously. I've owned 32cc - 46cc saws in the past. The brands were Mculloch, Poulan, and Echo.
I don't cut wood for a living but cut firewood for family and friends mostly because I like running the saw. I guess I could be considered an enthusiast. Since I've own a 46cc Poulan Pro in the past and worked it pretty hard, I decided to pass on the 346xp. The 357xp is about $150 more but I feel that it's worth the upgrade. The 357 Husky seems like a big upgrade for a guy like me who has been using smaller saws and it may be more than I need. My dilema started when I ran into the 372xp and found out that it was only $50 more than the 357! I'm a fairly stout dude and I'd only be using it with a 20" bar so weight isn't a huge issue for me. That said, is it possible for me to get in over my head with a 372? It there a huge difference between the 357 and 372?
Thanks in advance for patience with my noob question![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
