A trio of original beautiful 372XPs

[SCHallenger]

Darn emerald ash bore. Is the ash tree going the way of the chestnut?

This is slightly off topic, since the 372 is the star here, but the American chestnut is far from dead. I have seen several healthy specimens in Kentucky in recent years, & we have a stand of more than 2000 of them in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan which are blight resistant. They are in the northwestern part near Traverse City. There is a forester from Mich. State University who has been working with them & taking some seedlings & relocating them to other parts of the state.

To hear the tune of the saw, and because I'm timing these cuts.

Tunes seem to be different…Rory's saw seems to be hitting higher rpms?

It does hold RPMs in the wood very nicely. It's not the tune.

Guess I will just never like the high top version of the saws,

I converted my very first 372 to the low top cover and filter. I've since gotten used to the Husky look.

 

[LowVolt]

It's not hitting 18800 rpm's. I was kind of disappointed. Lol..... Jk.

Some guy on Facebook claims after he ports a 372 he has it tuned to 18800....

 

[blsnelling]

Yeah, that guy needs an edumacation, lol.

The high top up here only showed up with the 372XT.

High tops round here would be Converse's.

Crappy filter options on the high top for our environment also.

I love my 372 as long as you don't use the decompression knob when its cold. Mine won't choke that way. I threw my shoulder out of socket before I learned. It has tape over it now.

Beautiful pics man. Those pictures reminded me of a thread I read years ago talking about the 372xp "the prince of chainsaws"

Queen, as I remember it......

You are right, and the high top with HD filter seldom really is needed.

Healthy, well striped lawn providing an excellent background for those triplets.

Yep. I'm a fan of a nice yard, as well as a nice saw.

I try to make my yard look like a ball field

Nice saws Brad!

I love me some stripes

I love me some stripes

Sorry.. Now back to your regular scheduled programming.

 

[Boozer]

Those are massive stripes Dex! My Skag Tiger Cub would need two passes to equal one of those!
Looks great! You could lay out a few holes for golf with that much yard.

Dixie Chopper 3374 Excalibur (33 HP 74" Deck). And I overlap about 6"-8".

That middle saw haveth some replacement parts on her. And looks like a XT carb swap maybe?

 

[CTYank]

A little WOT before the cut ensures the chain is properly lubricated.

Huh? So would dipping the whole bar in oil. Neither at all necessary for that purpose. Thanks for playing, though.

If you look about in Brad's vids, he and he alone starts every cut with a 1/2 second blast @WOT and no load. It's so easy to go WOT just as the chain hits the wood. Maybe it's thought to make it easy for the timekeeper?

Most of my videos are later timed. Doing it the way I do makes it easier and more consistent.

nice trio... here is mine

Believe it or not, my new personal 372 is stock, lol. That will change soon!
