Husqvarna372xp or Stihlms460

[MS460WOODCHUCK]

I'd probably go 441 as well. Even though I just chose a 260 over the 346 even though the 446 is a much nicer setup, I just don't like my saw falling over everytime I set it down and I personally think the 260 is a little more nimble. But thats just me.

Sounds like you made a good choice on your own and did'nt let everyone on here do it for you. You made the right choice IMO

MS460 + stock DP cover = happy 'Hatte. 3/4 wrap, 20"/25"/32" b/c, MS260/16" in the truck too, ain't NOTHIN' I'm likely to get in over my head with. Nothing at all against Huskys; I just know Stihls better and swear by 'em. Outmoded air filtration system? Hardly. I can blow the prefilter band out in no time at all. Back to work!

Well I just wanted to let everybody know that I choose the 372. I tried both of them out and could not tell much power difference if any at all. The 372 just felt a lot better to me. Thanks for all the shared thoughts. I will try to figure out how to get pics on here.(may have to get the wife to do that).

Me to if you mean handling.

I dont blame you,the 372 is less tiring to use,IMO. Mine blows thru wood like a hot knife thru butter thanks to Brad's porting.The 372 is incredible.

Congratulations on the 372xp. They're a great saw that I love to run. Makes me sad to think they won't be around much longer.

372

Best saw husky has ever made.

I think the question is do you want a 372xp or an 576xp? :greenchainsaw:

 

[fishercat]

no question there.

not as long as you still have a choice.

as for the 576,for the price and weight,you are crazy not to just get the 385xp instead.

everybody always says the av on the 460 is bad..... ive never once noticed a problem with it. the filter setup does get dirty easy, but i keep it clean. happy to for the extra power over the 372.

i never noticed an issue with the antivibe either.

a guy i know has an 044 mag and it seems very smooth too.nice saw but i can't find a nice one.

Jasha did a 576 and said it turn out pretty good.

 

[fishercat]

interesting.

as good as if he'd done a 385? no replacement for displacement.for that kind of money,the 395 is a no brainer.i bet they weigh close to the same as well.

FC,

The 395 is much heavier that the 395. 390 is an ounce or two more than the 385 and is a horse, especially when ported. My ported 390 seems to be close the my ported 660, and the 390 is still fresh.

As always, YMMV,

[Evan]

never heard of a 044mag

If you are running them stock I would pick the 460. Luckily for you, either pick is an excellent choice. I love the 372, modded, it will humble a 660, (but only if I build it), I know that sounds lofty but I am still the arrogant pr*ck I was when I joined this forum. Come visit anytime and put one in our log, it will open your eyes. Cheers guys, Simon.

If I were I wouldn't bother with a 395, not much use for it, especially when a 660 is cheaper. Oh and displacement isn't everything, a well built 385 will beat a stock 395 no problem. :wave:

Maybe this'll help you make your decision. This vid is from this afternoon.
