Homie it looks like you've rattled on till you got yourself in bit of a bind here. All these little things you point out about your new 372 as features may well seem like features to you but as you can see from the responces not just by me but others as well many don't agree with your opinon. I really don't understand what your trying to prove. I told you before if you like the 372 better thats all fine and dandy. You don't need to convince me or anyone else on by pointing all these little things you consider features. Enjoy that saw, run it and be happy. There's no need for to justify your purchase to anyone. Your rave over it has gone beyond the normal pale of most users I know of.
I have noticed you don't respond to more obvious facts when they are pointed out to you. You made no reply of the starter handle I showed you on my 372, why not. Was that a pizz poor rope job or not? Does it matter to me, not at all but the way you carry on it should have bugged you. You joked that I screwed up the case on my 372 on purpose instead of merely admitting its a defective saw right out of the same factory where your 372 came from. My 372 runs fine Homie but that doesn't excuse it from being what it is, a defective saw, a very costly defect I have never seen in a Stihl to date. I showed you a 044 and a 372 sitting side by side with screwdrivers in the carb adjust slots. One on the right, one on the left. There is no advantage either way in my opinion. When pointed out with a camera you had no comment. I showed those big strong spring mounts on the 441 and once again you had no comment. You can ignore all ya want but the pics do not lie and they were there for anyone to see, not just you. Many others commented, had fun and carried on but you never said a word. If your taking everything serious with these saws then you need to admit some of the obvious when its pointed to you.
Finally and foremost you made mention a credibilty issue with Hoss and me as though we're not quaifiled somehow to judge a saw on its merit. Hoss has over 60 saws, I just counted mine, I got 45 all toll and several different brands as does Hoss. Your sig says you own 8. I've given away a helluva lot more saws than that Homie and many on this site can vouch for that. Your a arbortist or timber faller. You probably do have more cut time under your belt but experiance with saws in general I doubt it. Have you ever tried a Dolmar. If you think that 372 is a speed machine for its weight try a 7900 Dolmar and tell us what you think, the 7900 will bury that 372 without even breathing hard. I'm just a little saw fixer upper man Homie. I've repaired thousands of saws and I've sold thousands of saws. I too have talked to many many aborists and tree fallers but I've never had one carry on about little things like you do. The pro guys I have talked to over the years have never made issues out of the piddly things you speak of. You make bones about switching to Husky, I sit and grin knowing I've switched many many many Husky users over to Stihl and they've have never looked back. In all Homie the point I'm making is this. The engineers didn't pay any mind to you, some the guys on this site have taken issue with you so maybe you should re-think your approach. Your present approach of spouting hoop la over nothing seems to be catching up with ya. I just thought I'd be kind enuff to point it out to ya. I do admire the fight in ya I must say but those soft punches of piddly things you throw out are gonna leave you laying on the matt 99.9% of the time. The Husky camp isn't going to mock you over them but us on the other side are laffing our azzes off. Your gonna have to train harder Homie before I'll even let ya in the ring with me, I have too much moral fiber to be going to jail for beating up a lightweight, :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:
