Picked up the below 372xp, actually seems to be in pretty good working order. Had "been to a saw shop before I bought it" and the fuel breather hose wasn't connected, so I fixed that and cleaned it up a bit. I also got 2 new Oregon 24" chains with it. Gave $600, think its a pretty fair price. Thoughts?
Likely will be a saw to loan to my dad and a couple of experienced friends when they need more than a 40 cc homeowner saw. I have a 395xp for milling and larger stuff and preffered it to an MS660 I had prior. So I figured I would try a decent used 372. The ability to switch bars and the plethora of 24" chains I have is super nice.
This morning I got out to cut some pine I felled this past weekend, my takeaways in comparison to the 462 are, it seems to be a much more manageable power, smoother when leaned on and feels good in the hands. It definitely doesn't have the all out speed and sound of the 462 and is a tad heavier... But is a really nice machine.
I ordered a new OEM exhaust as this one is crushed in and a wrap handle which I prefer on a mid sized saw for felling. Can't believe only the guys on the West Coast can get those.... Also a pull cover sticker cause I am a little meticulous. Any tips for getting to exhaust bolts when the muffler is slightly crushed? I guess when the new one comes, I can just try drilling out the creases.
Anyways, any other suggestions would be appreciated. Have a little bit of CAD, any reviews on the 572 when compared to the 372?
