372XP
ive seen full wrapped big dawged xp's on the shelfs maybe its an out west kinda thing.
i also used to think the full wrap and big dawgs meant xpw.
He just needs a good supplier. :hmm3grin2orange:
The "W" designation DOES mean wrap handle. On the 372XPW the cc's are bumped from 70.7 (on the XP) to 74.7 (on the XPW). ....
Only on the newer xpws, not on the older ones!
Either one will do. I read a comment where the husky parts were cheaper, unless you have a dealer that will give you a nice discount, Stihl parts are no higher. I like the 460 and prefer the 044/440 myself but have ran some nice 372s.

I love my XPW - only 3 tanks through it (24" bar), but it's awesome. Honestly though, either way man, you're not gonna be sorry. Get the one you WANT
best of luck
edit: word of caution - the XPW handle does get in the way of adjusting the chain tensioner - not a big deal to me, but just an FYI.
edit 2: you can get a Stihl RSC chain for the 372 as well....just match up your drivelinks, gauge and pitch. A 24" Husky bar takes a 25" Stihl chain (on mine anyways).....84DL's, 0.050 gauge and 3/8" pitch.....it's just nomenclature difference b/t manufacturers on the 24" vs. 25"
my buddy ordered an air filter for an 026 Pro.after the 4th one was finally the right one,it was $47.
my air filter for my 395xp was $34.
hell,maybe i'm just no good with numbers but that seems cheaper to me.
i just got a price of $184 for an MS 660 gas tank.i got a feeling a 385/390xp tanks is less.

Give me his addy so I can send some butt lube. He got reamed, tell him to look for another dealer. Those filters are $30 here.
When I "had" a 2171, it needed a brake handle. My local J-red guy, 37 miles away, said "about $60". I laughed and gave him a thanks. I'd shop with Spike from now on.
It just depends on the dealer, either brand. For the most part, the prices are pretty close from what I've seen here.
Why so many air filters? Just blow em out and swap em out every 2 yrs, the saws that is. I can't say outside of running an air filter nozzle through one that i've had one that needed replaced.
he fished the saw out of the dumpster behind a Jred dealer.it' didn't have a filter on it.i got it running but i wouldn't give it back to him until he bought the filter.
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.Without doubt I would take the 372. The 460 is an outdated design with lots of vibes, obsolete (or non existing) air filtration. With Stihl I would much rather go with a 441 .
