What is my next best size up saw?

[Jon Tyler]

First forum, let me thank everyone for their input in my last post about my 55 Rancher "bogging" down. I'm so embarrassed at what the problem actually was... (ready for this) THE SPARK PLUG WASN'T EVEN FINGER TIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!
The tech prior to this one replaced the plug, but didn't tighten it!!! I never even considered to check the plug this time "assuming" it should be fine!!! saw runs excellent now (160 was the compression rating) and I'm very happy!!!


-NOW-

What saw (let's keep it Husky models to keep it simple) do I have to get to get to make sure it's in the next "job catagory"... meaning, I know I not to get a 359 etc... would the jump to a 372xp be sufficient? Is that not enough? Would a 385xp or 390xp be better? I just don't want to have two saws that heavily overlap their job duty.


Thanks for everything forum!!! -Jon

372xp should put a big smile on your face

But if he buys a 372 he'll never pick up the rancher again.

Agreed the 372 is the next step up for you. (then a step back to sell the rancher to fund your next purchase...... say a 346?)




(then maybe a 395)

I would think the 372XP could handle any tree that the Rhode Island forests could throw at it. If money is no object though, might as well get the 390XP

372Xp is a great saw, but since your profile says you 'work out', how about a 390XP. Little more weight, still inboard clutch and loads of power.

+1 The 372XP is more than enough saw for southern New England "forests".

I like my 2 saw combo of Husky 51 and 394xp!

The 390xp is one heckuva saw. You won't be disappointed with it. If that's a little to big I recommend the 575xp.

 

[blsnelling]

You need an EHP 375XPW!!!!!!!!!

 

[SAWITALL]

3671 2 XP

 

[kurtty]

Hey you used "recommend" and "575xp" in the same sentence!!!!!
Not words we see together on AS very often without the words "trade it for a 372xp" being involved!

 

[bookerdog]

I have both the 372 and a 390xp. They are both great saws. Both will put a smile on your face.

 

[sILlogger]

I'd shy away from the 575. a 372 would prolly do anything you ever needed it to..or if u wanted bigger a 385 or 390 would work..the 395 is most likely a bit of overkill

 

[Blakesmaster]

Really? No 575 love on here? I'm shocked. Granted, I'm not familiar with the 372 but I've used 575's for the past two years and love 'em. Just gotta let 'em warm up is the only downfall I've experienced.

Very little love for the 575 here, There is some hope in the NE575XP that has more power and less weight but i dont think anyone has seen or played with one yet.
