Was the 288 from the mid 80s? Was there a 298? We had one when I was a kid I think. It took 3-4 people to start. 2 to hold it down and one to pull the rope! It blew up in 93 thats how I got my 394xp. Ok, lets hear what you think is Huskys WORST saw. I have a 1997 55 that the muffler wont stay on for ****. Other than that its ok.

I like the two 365's I have. Both for the performance and for the build & CAD related opportunities.This sort of brings me back to the whole 268/272 vs. 365/372 discussion. My stock 365 is like my mildly modded 272 with less vibration, better filtration, and easier to clean...and my 365/372 hybrid is quite a bit more saw than any "work/woods" 272 I've ever run (Although MotoMedik is trying to change that). And the 365's are just as easy to take apart & work on as the older chassis.
(BTW that 372 X-torq is better than expected! Wonder when a Jred version becomes available?)(Still like my trusty 455 for all around farm life! One resides full time on the back of the utility tractor)

witch x-torq version ? 570 or 576 XP ?
The new "Demo" 372 X-Torq I had a chance to try.
I also want to caution you that I have only "demo" experience with the 560, 576, and X-torq version of the 372!
I am referencing The older 371/372's when comparing the 365 to the bigger saws on this chassis in this discussion. PLease understand the stock 372 is more saw than a 365..no question about it! The 372 X-torq I ran is quite the saw and may tilt the equation as time goes on. Remember this is a "best" discussion which includes concepts like reliability & durability...there really isn't enough time to put the new 560 which isn't even on the market yet and X-torq version of the 372 and even the 576 auto tune into this discussion in my mind. They are stilll "potential" heirs to the throne! I'm certain "spec" sheet types might want to but really it takes years to get a complete picture of how a saw performs in its intended environment. Its funny the love hate relationship Husqvarna customers have with the 575. I don't know a thing about them! I do know all here say they are terrible and heavy to boot! Conversely my logger neighbor loves his to death and doesn't want to give it up for a new saw..just rebuilt his 575 vs. buy new (and one of his 371's as well).

My all time favorite Husky Is the 2100/2101, but they are becoming collectors more then users. My favorite and the one that always seems to find itself in the truck headed for a job is my 288xp, I had a lite versoin of it but that got backed over by a truck(long story) my current version is the replacement of that. I like the 372xp alot but so does everyone else, and they are priced appropriately, truth is though on the older 288's they don't weigh all that much more then the 372's, and do generate a bit more torque.
My least favorite Husky, you are gonna laugh, is the 385xp basically a 288 that got fat. For the weight, might as well be a 395, without the power.

Somehow, you managed to get all your statements about weights wrong - not a single one is even close to true........:msp_biggrin:
I'm just glad they make more than one saw!! Subjective? Objective? Reflective? I own three, one gets used the most, the other two mostly sit, so they should by default last longer but that doesnt in my book make them the best. Bang for the buck, all the power i need for what i cut, parts availability for years to come, the winner to ME at least is the 365. Husky ought to give me one for all the drum banging i've done for them!! :hmm3grin2orange:

That one is a good candidate, but my favourite is the 346xp. :msp_smile:
