Not to my knowledge, nor on the 2186 or 2188.Brad is there a high top set up for the Jonsered like the husky?

With only the knowledge of hearing good things about the 372 I bought one last year. When I bought it I didn't know there was an original 372 and an Xtorq version. I have to say when I found out I was a little disappointed, but after owning and running this saw for the last year, I am happy now. I am not a logger/feller, and the saw probably gets a lot less use than most folks on this site, but it has performed flawlessly when I have needed it.If I needed or wanted a 70cc saw, I'd get a new 372xp. Good saw!
I didnt think so and that makes me sad! I love the high tops. The taller the better!Not to my knowledge, nor on the 2186 or 2188.

You and me both!I love the high tops too. Some guys think they ruin the look of the saw, I think it makes it look bad a$$
I'm fairly sure the 75cc XPW was around awhile past 2005. I bought mine new in 2011. I guess it's possible it sat at the dealer for a time, but he moves quite a few saws and the 372's certainly don't get stale on the shelf there..
I have had zero issues with my 75cc 372XPW. It is bone stock and for me it's about as perfect a balance of power and easy handling as it gets for when I need more than my 357 can dish out. ... snip ...
The 357XP was the saw I planned to get as I considered it the "current" equivalent to the 262XP.
It was research here that led me to go for the 372XP X-torq.
As far as the 500 series saws I'm sure they are great, but I still think the "look" of the 300 and 200 series saws are the more "proper" look of a husky saw... that low top or high top "sneaker" look of the 500 series (exception 576 I think) like the 550 and 562 I think is just wrong... When the day comes that they all look like that w/ their silver side cover... is the day I will feel the proper Huskys have faded into the ether...
357xp is my favorite 60cc saw. 2010 or 2011 was the last year they were made. New ones still pop up around here & good used ones aren't that hard to find. I have a 359 that got a new 357 top-end put on it and another waiting on the same treatment. Three ought to last me a long time.The 357 has been a GREAT saw for me. Bought mine new in 2006, it was my first pro-grade saw. Seems like they have all but disappeared. Even on Ebay there is usually less than three at any given time.. Many times I have looked and found goose-egg. It's like they are becoming the Colt Python of chainsaw world....
As you found out, there is nothing wrong with the XTorq version. It's just if you want a ported 372 it's best to go with the old version.With only the knowledge of hearing good things about the 372 I bought one last year.

You're an ass. Go away. Brush Ape.ive been searching the old threads on this site and most of them are not informative
I've had both the x-torq and OE 372s, 044, MS440, and Dolmar 7900. They are all great saws, but if I could only have one, it would definitely be the 7900. More power, better balance and better AV. Comparing saws by weight is just silly. An 064 has great power to weight, but vibrates like crazy, and is more fatiguing to run than a bigger saw with better AV. I will say that a muffler modded 372 sounds better than all those other saws...I'm set on getting the 372 since it is lighter then the 70-80 cc stihl's, and 70-80 cc Dolmars...
Yes, after seeing the Snellerizedvideo I contacted Brad. He was kind enough too inform me that my xtorq would not be the same as the old version.Since I have decided I really don't need it ported (yes, I know blasphemy eh!) it has all the power and speed for my needs.As you found out, there is nothing wrong with the XTorq version.

I am sure it does Brad, when I contacted you, you didn't try to discourage me from having it ported, you just kindly told me it would not be the same as the old version. My message was not too discourage anybody from having the xtq ported, as I am sure it would be a screamer, it's just that for my purposes I have decided it just isn't necessary. Yep, I know again with the blasphemyDon't misunderstand me. A ported 372 XTorq makes a very strong saw. It's just not to the same level as the OE.
