Help me pick my next saw.

[wise8706]

I'm looking for another saw. Right now all I own is the 550xp with muffler mod 16" B&C.

I need help picking out my next saw to go with my 2 saw plan. I'm looking at the husky 372 x-torq with a 24" B&C.

I'm just looking for something bigger than my 50cc saw that can handle a 20-24" B&C. Not opposed to the stihl saws either.

Opinions wanted! Thanks!

If you are going to be cutting hardwood with a 24" bar you will probably want 70cc class.

372 is a great saw, have heard good things about Dolmar, and 461 will really rip although its quite a bit more expensive too.

Yupp I'm thinking 70cc or bigger would suit me quite well. [emoji41]

Just to throw it out there. I wanted a 70 cc saw this last summer but they tend to move pretty quickly if priced right. I was able to pick up a real clean 85cc saw from the trading post here for a fair price.

My local saw shop has the 372xp xtorque for 869$. I like keeping my business local but if I can pick one up for cheaper on here I'm not opposed to that either

Yep, I find it easier to get a deal on a bigger CC saw rather than the popular 60-70cc saws.

I may be looking for a 90cc later as a "big" saw that I can mill with also.

If you are looking at new, AS member @spike60 is a Husky dealer. I have purchased two saws from him and his prices (with delivery) are usually significantly less than what you can get locally.

Send him a PM. His prices are the best I've found.

Yes, send him a PM. He checks the forums every few days but if you PM you will get a response quicker.

I agree with Brad's recommendation on a - 461

Husqvarna 395 anyone? 72s are great midrange saw, but sometimes you need some beef. I have a 51 also for limbing, which is so perfect. Always use the smallest saw you can, that's less gas and stress on you. Trust me, for years I ran my 95 alone...dumb. With a 51,72,95, I've basically got everything covered. And 51's use so little gas and parts so cheap, you can cut forever. I find Huskys easy to work on, Stihls seem overly technical...just an opin, not a fight...

Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I ended up with the 372 xtorque. I feel this will go well with my my 550xp. The 372 will be mostly for falling and bucking.
