husqvarna phase outs

[huskystihl]

I just left my husky dealer and was surprised that when I pulled in ups was delivering some new saws and obviously had to wait to see what was for christmas. He unpacked four brand new 372's which I thought were discontinued, only to be informed that they have brought them back this year. Also on the shelf was a 262xp which i'm not to familiar with, the list price was $709 which he told me I could have it for $600 out the door. Give me some input on the 362, is it a good saw and is $600 a good deal. If this is old news on the 372 I appologize but everything I have heard says they were not available for future orders

Do a search on the 362XP. Lots of people have had the same question.
Long story short; 372XP with a smaller bore.

Was it a 262 or a 362?

Grab it if it is a 262xp (unlikely), forget it if it is a 362xp!

I thought the 365 was the same as the 372 with a smaller bore????

It is, but the 362xp has an even smaller one, but the same power, at more rpms.

The original 362xp was on the 371xp case, but the "reintro" ones from a year or two ago probably are on the reinforced 372xp case, and a tad heavier (not sure, but likely).

What's wrong with the 362XP? How do they compare to the 365?

i like mine

i like my 362xp. i got a much better price than 600 on it though. for the price (about 500 iirc) it is a good saw. put an 18 inch bar on it and it will does great. will pull a 24 without too much problem.

Different porting in the jug...

There's nothing wrong with the 362XP. I have owned both 2163 and 2165 Jonsereds (362XP, 365) and the 2163 is a revver, while the 2165 is more of a lugger. I prefered the 2165, so the 2163 had to leave.

It was a 262, that was a typo. It had the older style switch on the back and was the darker orange color.

I just called the dealer. it was a 262. Said they never sold real well due to the 365 and that this was the last one left

Why are you still here? Get that thing!!!!!!!!!!! 262XP's are one of the best saws Husqvarna ever made.

362XP's are not.

Nothing really, but they have the weight of the 372xp, without the power.

The 362xp and 365 max power and max torque pretty much is the same, but the 362xp works on higher rpms.

That statement actually indicates that it is a 362xp, as the 262xp was an earlier saw, that was discontinued at about the same time as the 362xp and 365 appeared.

The 362xp was meant as a replacement for the 262xp, but has more weight and less power.....

Just got back, no saw it was a 362 but the mfg date was 07/05 which means it was made before the epa slowed em down which would also explain the old switch and color. $600 doesn't seem real good especially with a 361 in the stable and 3 other 60cc saws. Sorry about the confusion but the owners son who is about 16 told me the wrong model and got me excited.

And the 365 has been gone for a few years.

I agree, looks like it is one of the newer "reintroduced" 362s, that probably was made on the 372xp case, and heavier than the original ones, made on the 371xp case.

Do those ones have the large Husky mount? I always hated that about my 2063. (small mount that is)

Yes.
