372 X-Torq

[mdavlee]

Nice to here the price didn't go up much. I'm more interested in the xtw to compare to the 576.

Any word from the guy using this saw? Any more news?

3 opinions from 3 guys that I respect.

"Not as good"

"I like it better"

"Not really much different"

Not all that conclusive is it? They all like the fuel usage though. I suppose that is must be fairly close to the original, for the average user. If it was a lot better, or a total flop, these guys would more likely be on the same page as far as their impressions go.

I still say they should make the 576 happen....

 

[mdavlee]

The 576 is a good saw on its own but will never quite make it out of the shadow of the little brother if they don't end it's run. I think the 576 has more torque than a 372xpw but doesn't quite get revved up as quick.

What is that supposed to mean?

 

[mweba]

A saw should be able to stand on its own design. What I mean by that is, if the 576 is not better than the 372 (x-torq or not) than it should be discontinued or revised. To say its predecessor has to be discontinued for it compete sounds more like a socialist program.

Me, I wish they still made the original 372 just based on the reliability. The delivery of my 372 x-torq has been pushed back a week, when it arrives I will get some data and vid comparing 576 and 372OG.

You got a 576 on the way too? They are a strong saw stock. It impressed me the way it would run a 28" bar with full comp in oak.

No I wish. I have a buddy that has a strong runner. I have not had a chance to try it but based on your vids...it pulls a chain just fine.
I do have a stock 372 with a couple miles on it for comparison though. May throw some new rings in it to make it fair.

The Godfather's back!

The 576AT will outcut a 372 XP, XT whatever. Just had a guy stop in the store. Long time logger; and he's run everything. Said he just ran the 576AT that was my personal demo which I sold to another one of the locals.

Said he couldn't believe how well that thing ran, and that it was also WAY better than his regular 576. He said the 576XP has speed, but you can't lean on it too much, but the auto-tune had gobs of torque when you pushed on it. Then he said, "It's like a 288, you lean on it and it just hogs in." That's a huge compliment; especially from this guy.

Good to hear. I hope the 576 is successful. To clarify, was saying it should be on its own merit not by default due to a discontinued saw.

I have been talking with the local dealer about the AT. He has not stocked one yet due to being unsure of its reliability. I may just have to order one of those too, just to get the ball roling hehe.

The only reason I didn't want an autotune is I don't think it would compensate for porting. Maybe someone needs to get one and port it and see if it will.

I believe someone did but I can not find the thread at the moment.

 

[mdavlee]

I thought there was one but I had no luck finding it.

You've been paying attention to this thread haven't you ST??


I mean by executing the 372 entirely and fully replacing it with the 576 just like Stihl did with the 440/441.

But hey, it's prolly a horrible idea, what the hell do I know. I'm just another idiot on this site shooting his mouth off again about a bunch of nothingness......

 

[mdavlee]

I think husky is worried the 372 users will jump ship if they discontinue it. I think the 576 has it beat every way but weight.

LOL, that was not what I was referring to, or commenting - just an odd statement! :help:

Was it T-Wolf?

 

[mdavlee]

I don't think it was Timberwolf. I can't seem to find it. Maybe it will resurface.
