I would go 372 again. I've not been impressed with the 562s. Too close in size to the 70cc saws and behind in power. The extra 2 lbs is worth the extra power to me.
I have always been die hard Stihl....until now. I bought a new 2253 off terry since he is stocking the red brand and then went back and bought his ported 562. The 2260 demo was the best handling saw I have ever used. Saw troll is right. The husky and jonsered handling is so much better than Stihl .This coming from a Stihl guy. I actually prefer the handle and looks of jonsered.
...I was asked about clearing a five acre plot that I'm gonna need at least a 24in bar 90% of the time. My question is would I be farther ahead to port the 562 or buy another 372...
I prefer the straight handle for felling and bucking. The angled is better for limbing. That is the one reserve I have about my 2253...my limbing saw.:msp_rolleyes:
The 576 autotune isn't a bad way to go either. A little more power than the 372 has and just a little heavier.
...My current 372XPG, which will be going down the road soon, is relegated to working on piles of tree length during the winter only, as I never know what is going to fall off the POS next...
All the huskies do rattle screws and bolts out. Locktite is your friend with them. The muffler bolts are the worst on them. I wouldn't say a 372 is a POS. Stock for stock a 576 is stronger.
