Good morning guys, first post here...
Question for the experts. My go-to saw is my 562xp. It's my first pro saw, it's stock and I'm very happy with it. I came across a good deal on a 372xp and ended up buying it. Took it to the woods with my 562 this past weekend and compared the two saws in some oak. The 372 is much harder to start than the 562, and it doesn't always stay running if I'm not on the throttle. I thought the 372 was going to really impress me, however in a side by side comparison my 562 walked right by it. I felt that the 562 was much faster, which doesn't seem like it should be comparing the difference in spec'd rpms online. I could dig the dogs in and muscle the cuts with the 372 without missing a beat, but I felt like there was some speed lacking. I've never tuned a saw, but I'm wondering if this could be as simple as the 372 needing a tune? Any thoughts/advice is appreciated.
