Are there any discernable differences between the two. Anything more favorable. Also what a normal price to pay for one.
Thanks, Austin

Do you do your felling with a 372? I bet youve put an hour or two on one then hahathere is no comparison, whie they are made by the same manufacturer the design of the 372 has everything better going for it. also i own both the OE and XT 372. the XT is not as smooth as the OE. still smoother then a 272 by far but it definitely has a heavier rotating assembly creating the vibrations.
Have you had any trouble with premature failure that was entirely the fault of the saw? There's actually a guy on Craigslist near me that has a 390xp brand new never fueled for 900 I bet he's negotiable since it's been listed for a few monthsyes i run the 372's. i run them with a 36" stihl light. light saber in the woods and tree's piss there roots on my walk up the hill lol i also have a few 390's i run in bigger wood. i like the 390's more but the 372's are great for second growth.

I'm a firm believer in if you take care of your equipment it will return the favor. I actually got quoted 919 for a 372XP with a 28 bar and chain with a 1 year warranty. 2 years if I bought some premix I was kind of shocked, that's full blown retail. I don't need one that bad, but I would buy one used.
I will admit the side chain adjuster and easier air filter access on the 372 are nice.
The 272 even though it weighs the same as the 372. To me feels more maneuverable and maybe a touch lighter when using. The 372 is smoooooth and the newer xtorq is even better in that department.

I have a lot of professional saws and I prefer them, but I also know that I don't need a new one, I'm just looking to replace my 029 super with a 372XP. I have a jonsered cs2159 and I like it plenty. I am always on the lookout for the best quality I can get. If I can get a pretty nice used 372 it will easily last the rest of my life (I have a lot of saws in my rotation) thanks for your input, it's nice to know that somebody who has put a lot of hours on one still likes themkeep a look out on local classifieds. they can be had for a good price used if you look and are willing to wait for the right deal. if your not a professional cutter it makes no sense to buy a new professional saw. many would disagree but they make homeowner saws for a reason.

I'm a collector of tools, I have more money in hand tools (I'm an auto mechanic) than I have in my gto by almost double. I also have a lot of saws for collecting but I also have newer dedicated firewood saws. Thanks for the helpyou could get rid of all your saws and i bet you could afford a brand new 372. it would do anything you needed it to and last you a lifetime. i'm a professional cutter and i only own 7 saws. 4 372's and 3 390's. my bad, 9 saws. i forgot about the stihls. if i had more they would just take up space for nothing like the stihls lol. i have a buddy who's been cutting cords of firewood for people for 15 years and has never had a job besides that. he's been running the same 372 since he started and i've been the only one to maintain it. as far as i remember the only thing i've ever done to it were minor tune ups (plug/fuel filter/sprocket/retune) and i replaced to oiler worm gear once. i personally like putting alot of hours on one saw rather then having to many then i know what to do with. i'm not a collector of tools though so i don't have CAD.
