The 372 is going to have a bit of HP edge on the 6800, but it will be interesting to see how they compare.

6800 was a torque saw in it's day could be intersting to see how they do in big wood.

Nice man!!! I've got a 372 XPW and love it!! 24" BC JGX (skip chain) and wow.
FYI - the wrap handle is smack dab in the way of the chain tensioner, sure tilt the scrench a little and it works, but the plastic is all scratched up around teh tensioner screw now....just my 2 cents.

The 6800 is a beast, 24 inch bar buried it pulls great. Just like you would expect from a old school dolmar, it does not sound really fast but it doesn't bog either! I will be very surprised if the 372 will out cut it. The husky sounds faster quick acceleration , but I think in the big wood the dolmar may surprise it! I will run them together with the same chain and see what happens, if the husky wins Ill sell my dolmars.
Not really , I will be impressed with the 372 though!

No I , forgot about the 084. I cut alot of wood this week though and am pretty happy with the 372, It is a keeper. My 6800 will hang right with it though. Im working on another deal now, just went today and bought a bucket truck!

Why alter the 372XP's perfect balance with that anchor?

I really like boat anchors, the full wrap type especially!

I guess I could do that but then what would I do with all the left over money.
Also I would have to get rid of my 24 inch bars and get some 16s for the 460 which would make a nice trimming saw I agree with you. But I would be right back looking for a good bucking saw again and we all know that means dolmar or husky.
I have a buddy who bought a 460 though and he said it is a great starter saw if your down on your luck and cant afford a husky or dolmar!

There's two 372's with wrap handles in the trading post that have not sold at good prices. Regualr 372's go very fast. Wonder why that is? :monkey:

No I dont wonder! What does it matter to you If I want a full wrap bar on my 026?
You can take the handle clear off your 372 for all I care!
