Husky 372XPG-talk me out of it

[MarkEagleUSA]

Um nope. Skip the 60cc.

550xpg, 372xpg, and 390xp

EVERYONE NEEDS A 390XP/2188.

I don't understand the need for a 70cc and a 90cc. For a typical user, what advantage is there to having both?

I personally don't think I'd ever need 90cc's, but if one with AT were to come out (soon) it would be a hard decision for me.

I can find no excuse for getting a 90cc saw either.....

Oh, I can find an excuse to get one... don't understand the need to...

You can get bigger wood cut faster, milling, noodling large rounds. opcorn:

Why not 390xpg?

Well, it is only $70 more than the xp..,.hahaha

 

[ktoom]

Im on the 50cc, 60cc, 90cc plan. What saw i use is based on what im doing or cutting.

As always, it depends on the wood, the sort of cutting, and the cutting conditions.

...That 372 is a lot of money, but I do want 70 cc and heated handles....

At the local Husky shop, the 372 is the best-selling pro saw. If I were looking for a Husky, that's the first one I'd get.

 

[lmbrman]

heated handles are worth the money here in WI- go for it

 

[bryanr2]

Why not 390xpg?

Great catch... I actually didnt know there was a 390xpg. That's good info.

I have owned and run several 372's but they were all pre 2010, including two 372 XPW's with the 75cc cylinder. They were probably the best saws I have ever owned.
I have also owned and run a 562XP. Good saw, no complaints.
I have also owned several 365's.
That said, if I were buying a new saw right now, it would be a 365, but I am not going to tell you what to buy. You will have to decide what you think would suit you best, but I will say that if you once run a woods ported saw you will never want to run anything else, because several of the ones mentioned above were ported.

Nope, Not me!

well....everyone over 5' tall and 120 lbs....


sorry Don.... !!!

Well, I didn't get the brand new one, but I found a very clean used 372 xpg at a shop in a neighboring town. They had it listed on ebay already. He asked me if he should take it off. I said yes. New Forester bar. Messed around with it a little bit today. I need to do a little carb adjusting and gullet cleaning with the chain, but it is so strong. It doesn't slow down in big oak and maple, and that is just what I wanted.

 

[angelo c]

Glad we could help....NOT !!!

Your gonna luv that saw....

 

[mikey517]

So, I suppose we're all failures here as we could not talk you off the ledge....
Good on you... congratulations on your new saw

 

[SierraWoodsman]

Is your 372 the standard or the x-torque model. Congrats either way

 

[Ironworker]

Nice, your gonna love it.

If I ever got a 390xp it would just be for fun, this is all the saw I could ever need. Opened the H just a bit because that is all I had with the adjusters and it sounds right. The idle was just a hair low so I turned it in just a bit. Didn't mess with the L because it accelerates strongly. The chain was decent but previous owner used a grinder so once I made room for my file it got good and sharp. 2010 model according to the plate. Nothing exciting to say. Smooth, strong, and I like the way it sits in my hands. Hand warmers don't work but I think I'll start a new thread on that. Also got the owners manual online in pdf, pretty light on information.

 

[Fuzly]

Little sticky, like previous owner was cutting balsam or something with a lot of sap, but in real nice shape. Used but not abused. I'll try to motivate myself and get the camera out tomorrow

I put a 372 together about a month ago. I went out cutting firewood with a friend. He says dang by the time I get my saw started you have a load cut!
