First brand new saw and first Husky

[Anthony_Va.]

Looks like a winner to me. The 70cc Huskys are hard to beat. I love my 372xpw and it's the saw I use everyday.

Great pics and saw..
Is that a Toyota Tacoma, nice rig..

Good eye. I actually just bought her a couple months ago.

Since when did Husky start making a 70cc 365? I have the 2065 J-Red. It is the one saw that I'll never sell, unless it was replaced with a new one of course.

I'm not sure when they started offering them but I know they've been around for at least 6 months.

Pecking order

Other then a lower price would the 365XT have an advantage over the upcoming 562XP?

The 562 will be smaller and lighter, with about the same power.

But the 70cc 365xt should have more torq.

I've only ever bought used Stihls and have had good experiences with all of them. I sold my 440 last year since I just wasn't using it enough but lately I've had a few opportunities for some free storm damage trees and felt like it would be helpful to have a bigger saw again.

I've never had a brand-spanking-new saw, only clean used ones, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to buy a brand new one and give a Husky a shot at the same time.

I went with a 365xt because it seemed like one of the better values as far as 70cc saws go and I wasn't ready to up the budget for a new 372 or a 440/441. It seems the 365xt can be nearly as strong as a 372 so I thought I'd try it out.

The first day out she seemed real strong so I look forward to breaking her in as I continue to gather my wood for next winter. I haven't seen too many people using these on this site but I know they've been out for a little while so time will tell if it was a good buy.

Just sent you some new saw rep.

Best bang for the buck. I'm liking the new 365 X-Torq. Kind of like a factory sleeper. You did good! New saw Rep!

Me too!! When all is said and done it's a great looking saw, that looks strong and well built. Wish I had the $. I'd buy it right now in a heart beat. Great choice and good cutting. Rep sent.

I really like my 365 'Special'.. Although it's not XT and is 75cc. :msp_biggrin:
