What do you think Husqvarna's best saw is?

[cpr]

372, then 288. Haven't tried a 390 yet, but I'd like one.

 

[flushcut]

All of the huskys that I've run hold a special place in my heart. But I would go 372xp for all around champ.

 

[Taxmantoo]

I'd go with the 242xp, same reason as somebody gave for the 200T in the other thread. There's just nothing that weighs less without having less power, or has more power without weighing more.

 

[gallegosmike]

346xp-ne ( Will get one soon)

372xp and 372xpw ( Own both and love them)

385xp/390xp (Own a 385xp and the best big bore saw I've run)

395xpw (Will buy one used as a wood pile toy)

 

[OhioGregg]

If I had to guess..I'd say the 372, just from the ink it gets on here. Followed by the 346ne. But, I'll have to say 385xp, seein how thats the only Husky I have.
Doesn't dissapoint me in the least, for felling, bucking and milling!


Gregg,

 

[crmyers]

The only one I own.

The 385xp is a great saw!

I wish that trees in my neck of the woods were big enough to take the beast into the field and use it more often! I bucked up some large elm with it last summer. The torque that it has in stock form is impressive. Just imagine with a woods port how much torque it would have. I use my univent the most out of all my saws. It is all about chain speed, but with my 385xp. It is about dogging in and torque! Big bore saws rule! :monkey:

I shure put a vote for the 365 special with big bore kit and walker style muffler. Its great fun with power to spare also the 353 is great.

There really are only 3 candidates; 262xpg, 346xpg and 372xpg.


My order is;

(1) 346xpg

(1 1/2) MS361W (it really is a Husky design - but the "blueprints" were stolen from the Husky factory by a suspect Beligian, and smuggled into Germany)

(2) 372xpg

(3) 262xpg.

A 3120...? Really??

I literally look at a 3120 like its one of the most primitive saws available today. To each his own I guess....

A big saw for a big guy!!

PRIMITIVE ???

Hey look there little fella, us "primitive" knuckle draggers like something that can be horsed with and not break apart in our hands

Am I funny or what?

If I could get a deal on one it would be in my stable now.

I was and still am looking for a well cared for or low use 372XP (even Craig's List in my area show them as $ 500.00), made more sense to buy a new Makita.

Seriously:a long bar will break the stud mounting bosses much more easily on modern lighter weight magnesium cased saw.

I like the idea of all that extra weight goes to locations on a saw that keep the bar studs from breaking out when yanking a 60" bar out of a pinch situation

 

[ridgerunner97]

Can't have just one, my order is

1.) 288xp

2.) 372xp

3.) 268xp

Haven't got to run a 346xp yet but a 365 special with a big bore is scratchin at that top three of mine also

 

[Stihl088stock]

346xp... throw away the stock fuel line though, it cracks faster than anything I have ever seen.

 

[Gypo Logger]

I'd say the 346, 359, 372 and the 385, but talk to me in another ten years, although with all the new fangled EPA stuff, they may be the best saws ever made, so hoard as many as you can. Lol

[oldsaw]

For me? A 350, 261, and 372, because I have them. Now the 261 will eventually become a 262. But, my Sawinredneck inspired 350 is better than sex. Dremels came from the hand of God.

 

[dingeryote]

262xp, 346xp,372xp, and of course the M96 in 6.5X55.

The little 350 should get an honorable mention as well.
Tough little boogers!


Stay safe!

2100. Not that I've ever run a 2100.

Cool, at least you didn't say 3120 lol

I like the 359 as well, but was half scared to mention it in this thread. I'm not sure if it's epic, but I sure like mine.

The 359 and 385xp really shouldn't be on your list, when the 357xp and 390xp exist??????



Another thing, am I wrong that you just got a new Zama for a 346xp sent up there - or did I guess right?

 

[artie__bc]

Model 1600 in .358 Norma Magnum

Oh saws! 2100 is the only Husky saw I ever wanted.

Ya, I hear ya 4WD, I got a 359 that EHP built and after at least 100 crds it still makes the trees piss their roots. lol It's light enough you can really wield it around.
