My first saw annoyed me a little

[qurotro]

After some study from this site, I went to the Husy authorized dealer and bought my first saw, an 372xp
It cuts really good and smooth, I'm pretty satisfied with it.
But heres the thing, are all 372xp have rough molding lines like mine, or I'm just unlucky to pick a bad one?
It's made in the 2017, stamping on the name plate.

rear handle molded pretty bad...

So as the crank case..

The next time the gas and oil tanks are empty look inside to see if the seams line up .

Looks pretty rough. You got a pic of the whole saw?

Should have purchased a Stihl, even though they are over-rated.

Well honestly I have owned both stihl and husqvarna chainsaws and I like the older husqvarna chainsaws before the xp models because they are more of a high rpm saw and there smooth. But I like the stihl chainsaws because they just don't give me as many problems both are equally as easy to fix model dependant. But I think with the amount of plastic parts coming from who knows where it's hard to match them properly

That looks like crap, never saw one put together like that, even a cheap saw isn't that bad. Must have been made on the third shift on a Friday.

Sorry my phone deleted a part of what I typed. I was trying to say that I like the older husqvarna chainsaws before the xp type because I feel the xp models are still working the bugs out and that the older models where made of metal and they just keep going. Like the old cd models

XP badged Huskies have been around for longer than you have been alive. Pretty sure they have that on lock.

Did you point out your concerns before purchasing. Ask to have your fuel tank replaced. I would check bottom seams.

Is this dealer selling China crap under his Husqvarna cover?
A full pic or two would be helpfull......

Or is this just a trolling pass?

so sad when kid's toys have better manufacturing tolerances than something like a $1000.00 chainsaw (more than a thousand in Canada)...

I see a couple of little fitment issues on my Dolmar 5105 that annoy me mildly (they are consistent with the model, according to pictures I have seen). They are not as bad as that.

I would go and look at some others in a different shop, and then others in the same shop.

If that's what new Husky's look like, I don't want one till they sort that out.

It's a chinesium tank. Maybe a Poulan 372XP

 

[s sidewall]

That ain't no Poulan, they ain't put together that bad.

At this point some sandpaper would knock off the edges.

 

[Deleted member 117362]

Can you show EM logo on that part?

Poulan and Husky are the same co.
