    Thoughts on 365xt

    I love my 365xt. I bought it in August 2013. It is currently the largest saw in my lineup. I run mine stock with a 24 inch bar and it has lots of grunt and torque compared to my previous big saw "stihl ms 290" running a 20" bar. I want to have a pro remove the transfer covers and port the...

    346xp vs. 026

    I like inboard clutches as well, I prefer the husqvarna saw pre filtration and anti vibration features over most stihl saws. For example the husky 562 vs stihl ms 362....the outboard clutch on the 562 has me reaching for the stihl every time even though the 562 outperforms the 362 . I...

    It's here! The M-Tronic MS261C is finally here.

    I am on tank number 4 and it is just starting to build power while buried in the cut. I like how fast it revs and how easy it is to start. I was blocking up some large cherry tree rounds with it last weekend, the 365XT would have been the correct tool but, the 261 did fine.

    Could I be converted to a Husky lover

    OP....That's how I felt when I ran my Husky 365XT. Little vibration and great power very smooth cutting saw. The 365XT really pulls like a beast. The Stihls seem to have better fit and finish but the Huskys handle great and seem to pull hard with the bar fully buried in hard wood. I have kept...

    Belt tension on Vermeer sc252

    Thanks for the help. One of the cutting wheel pillow bearings had a but fall off and was letting the belt slip and the cutting wheel bind. I replaced the but and tightened the belt and was back to grinding. I put my oldest to work grinding a large oak stump. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

    Few simple questions about what Pro saw for my needs. (researched first)

    You may want to check out a Husqvarna 365XT it is the excat same saw as the 372 husky except for baffles in the transport covers, airfilter is felt and it is 150 dollars less. I am a big guy and mine is like a light saber for wood. I have been mucking around with mid grade and homeowner saws...

    40-50cc chainsaw (what to get)

    Gutless wonder? Your friend must have had a sick ms250 or a dull chain. I know that 3hp is a stretch for thw ms 250 but my 2375 wild thing and my 3316 or whatever Poulans both were not in the same league as the ms250. Maybe it was the sucky chains or poor quality bar and oilers on the...

    40-50cc chainsaw (what to get)

    OP I see that you have your chainsaw for sale for 170 bucks shipped. I can tell you that you will not find anything new that cuts as well as your MS-250 for 170 bucks. I really enjoy my MS 250 for the weight and power 3hp 10lb. power head it is hard to beat. The downfall for the MS 250...

    New Husqvarna 365xt hard to start cold and review.

    Figured out my cold start issues. From cold: choke out, no decomp button, pull three times heard a pop on last pull, choke in, pull twice, on second pull I got highspeed running, pulled trigger, nice idle, all is good. Thank you good people for all of the tips! I tried this twice today...
