Thinking of putting a 30" bar with 3/8 chisel skip tooth chain on my stock Husqvarna 372XP.
Is 30" too long for this saw?
 
You should be more concerned about how well it will oil. A 372 can do well on a 28, but a 32 is pushing it. In soft wood it will fair better, in hard wood it's really at it's limit.
 
I always run my oilers maxed on any saw. Bar oil is cheaper than a new bar and chain. Will run a 30" no problem hard wood or soft. I run 32" on mine with just a mm and carb limiters removed. I still consider it stock. [emoji1303]

I bury 32 in live oak on a 372 all the time you'll be fine...

I was just on the Husqvarna website and they have 32" in the options menu, so as far as I'm concerned if they offer it then it must be okay to use.
