Yes Sir, that Jred 2166 would be nice to have. Buy it so I can stop looking at it............both are very good saw's ms440 thru ms-462 and the 365 thru 372xpw .....Brett aka @chipper1 has a nice 2166 mm that would keep up with any of the the mentioned saws ...or I also second the 7-series Makita/dolmar saws that's was mentioned by Ryan earlier
This . and the stihl cost more.a 461 has bigger nuts then a 372, but the 372 is a way nicer saw to run everyday. Don’t even get me started on stihls filtration lol. The guys who think it’s good quite simply don’t run saws enough to have an opinion.
I like this thinking neighbor , but I'd buy a set of adapters and get a stihl lite bar for the win (and a spare since money isn't an issue, besides it's his money not mine ).Buy a Husky 365, remove transfer baffles, open up muffler and you have a great running 372. You will have extra money to buy a Cannon bar and spare chains.
Sold , as is the one Westcoaster listed .Isn't there a Masterminded 372 in the trading post right now?
Thanks for the props Rod ............both are very good saw's ms440 thru ms-462 and the 365 thru 372xpw .....Brett aka @chipper1 has a nice 2166 mm that would keep up with any of the the mentioned saws ...or I also second the 7-series Makita/dolmar saws that's was mentioned by Ryan earlier
If you want to run it come on over .Yes Sir, that Jred 2166 would be nice to have. Buy it so I can stop looking at it.
Yes sir, he knows his way around them much better than I do. That always demands a premium price, as does an xpw.If you are into a non x-torq and since you are in California, you could always contact Jack Bealer(Hotsaws101) and see if he has a new OE 372xp or xpw sitting 'under the bench'. He seems to be very good at getting the 372 and 461 to perform well above stock form. I think he usually has a relatively short turn around.
The 461 is a great saw.Nice saws, I think I have made up my mind, I am thinking, stihl ms 461 r from rich at Myrtle creek saw shop and have him go through and port it up, have a dual port muffler and have him install max flow filter system, and a h.o oiler. What is your guys thoughts?
brett that 372xpw must be worth at LEAST $ 50 plus the ride ?? ...... ill take itYes sir, he knows his way around them much better than I do. That always demands a premium price, as does an xpw.
I didn't know Jack was on here?

Your quick Rod, and right on the money brother .brett that 372xpw must be worth at LEAST $ 50 plus the ride ?? ...... ill take it
I will get more info from him, i'll make sure to get all that done to the saw.The 461 is a great saw.
The r should come with an HO oiler.
Will he be doing an actual port job or simply cutting the base and the piston, also will he replace the coil for an unlimited one(nice option you can ask about).
I'm not saying a popup and a cut base is what you want to get, but it's good to know what your getting. If that's what he does to saws, that's fine(I personally don't know), but that's not a port job although it is modifying it. Either way the saw should perform better than stock .I will get more info from him, i'll make sure to get all that done to the saw.
I hear yah, I will get the details from him. I want a full port job so we will see what we can come up with. Should be a good runner regardless but obviously I want what I am paying for.I'm not saying a popup and a cut base is what you want to get, but it's good to know what your getting.

I like the ones I have, ported 6401, 7910 and a ported 7910, all with poleman carbs on them.****, i talked to Andy Wellman over at Dominate saw, and he might have me convinced on the Dolmar ps 6400-w. Hd filter, wrap handle and a full port job, it sounds like it should fit my needs perfectly and going Dolmar should be a good change up from either Stihl or Husky. I am always willing to try something new. Anyone have any thoughts on the Dolmars, personally, i have never owned one.
He is talking about having it ported, but I feel the same way, grab up a 7910 and have that ported. Very nice even with a full wrap.What size bar do you want it to pull and what size wood is it going to be cutting? On paper a 6400 (64cc 4.7hp 15.6#) ain't even close to a 461 (76cc? 6.0hp 15.7#) in anything except weight. A wrap on a 6400 adds 1.5# per dolmars website specs(ps-6400 14.1#, ps-6400 W 15.6#).
