Tell me about this chainsaw...

LOL, This has to stop.

372 is a great saw, especially for $250.

LOL, I wanted to get it out of the way early.

No net sales hitin' hard

I just picked up mine today for $ 705 plus tax with 20" bar.

Wow! I saw a 2171 at a Jred dealer once, that was $780.

Close to MSRP

The MSRP on the saw I bought was about that if I remember right.

Great deal

Yeah, I thought it was a pretty good deal. Anyone have an idea of what this saw would have sold for new?

Anyway back to the original post . . . Jason 280 you got a heck of a deal! Congrats and enjoy your new saw!

The MSRP on a 372XP with a 20" bar is $749.00, at least in Belchertown, MA.

As far as mods go, what is the easiest to do to this saw?

 

[Haywire Haywood]

Muffler mod. Do a search for "361 muffler mod" with Lakeside53 as the author.

A guy is lookign at buying a 372 and the dam 361 comes up??? WTF, dam stupid saw, 361 probably wont cut it anyway, if he wants to run a 24" bar on it. 372 whoops the 361 here.

 

[aandabooks]

Since you don't have any cutting to do...Send it to me. I've got more cutting to do than I'll get done in the next 5 years. I'll keep it warm for you and when you need it back, just use my last known address.:greenchainsaw:

Could I get that in English?

I've been looking for chainsaw capable of adequately running a 24" bar, and I think I found one today. Its a Husqvarna 372XP, and is in pretty good condition. Anyone have any experience with these saws, and what can you tell me about them? My other saws are a couple 61's and a Stihl MS210, so what can I expect with the 372? Thanks!

If your 372xp runs as good as it looks you will be a happy man.
As far as price, the dealer I do some business with here wanted $789.00
for a 20" bar 372xp out the door back in November 2007.
Congrats on your good fortune and enjoy,
Longwood

372 is a great saw and a lot of people will frown but it is only a 20" hardwood saw. If you want a 24" hardwood saw you should step up to a ms 460 or 7900. I mean the 372 will cut with a 24", just not with authority.

LOLOLOLOL! What he meant to say is the 361 is a great saw but will not take the place of a 70cc model.

Id say it is probbly best with 20" bar also but it will pull a 24"bar decent also as long as you dont take to much off th rakers and use full chisel chain. The only time i use this set up is on really steep ground but it does work. The ms 460 will pull a 24" better .

 

[stihl 440]

372

372's are just plain awesome saws. Get a oregon powermatch 20 or 24" bar for it, you will be much happier and so will the saw.:greenchainsaw:

LOL, sorry, if you've been on this site long enough you would of understood what I meant.

The 361 is a dam fine saw, I just hate hearing about it so much, it has nothing to do with this thread and yet it still comes up. Thats why I hate it so!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Andyshine77]

When my 372 was stock it pulled a 24" b&c just fine. We here at ArboristSite are a bit spoiled compared to most people who cut firewood a couple times a year.

The muffler mod Andy does on the 361 would work on most any saw. I wasn't suggesting he buy a 361. I was directing him to muffler mod instructions with pictures.
