~30% faster cuts with same b/c and log.

i assume that this was a brand new 372xpw 75cc that was sent to be ported-any other relevant history would be helpful

does the xpw do as well with the porting as the regular 372xp(71cc)?

It can. Just more work to get it there.

are there any long term negatives to having to take out more material,i.e.,structural integrity,etc. compared to the 372xp(71cc)? any other info would be appreciated from the builder,i.e. you

Not really. They have a lot more meat in some places where the 71cc is open already.

I have one of these in Red and it's a great running saw. I never ran one stock, but ported they are great saws that have a distinctive sound to them!!

Good luck and Happy Easter everyone! !

Thats a sweet saw alright.I really have a love/hate relationship with that model and much of Husqvarna these days though.Wouldn't it be Awesome (after all these years)if Husqvarna would have been able to fix the on/off switch all by their selves and a choke that doesn't viberate off as well as a coil wire that doesn't rub. Not to mention every carb and coil seems to be problematic of late. Is that what Husqvarna means when they call it a pro saw? you got to be a pro to fix there $hit.
I'm sorry, the broken on/off seemed to put me down a bad road. Maybe because I just spent $1000 for a new X Torq basically for the bottem end and springs ect. Only to have the throttle lock and on/off break in three days. Choke is already poping off. IDK..After 26 years of supporting their products.I think my next Husky is going to be a Stihl. Frustrated!

Sorry about your bad luck, but I have run more husqvarna saws that I care to remember, including two 372 XPW 75cc saws with no problems at all.

The 372 XPW 75cc is one of the best saws out there, at least in my opinion.

i would agree-the 372xp/372xpw have been the most dependable saws i have ever owned-i only have husqvarna

Well there's running them and there's running them. In three months I'll have a 19 year marriage with that chassis..that would put it over 20,000 hours of pro time.
Like any marriage there is good times and bad times and you don't get the whole package. After all...are we the whole package? If I was, I wouldn't come on the Internet and rant about my wife...lol
especially when someone is trying to sell theirs.

I've got this model that was ported by Ed Heard. Mind you this saw has not seen anything close to pro use, it's just been a firewood saw but I've not had a moment's trouble out of it and it always impresses my cutting buddies.
