Yup 372 series, best 70cc saw around IMHO! I enjoy the sound of mine. Even with a mostly stock muffler.
Dunno. I reckon the 385/90 sound better (not as tinny) with the 395 topping those.
All three of those saws run well.
Yeah I went back and had a listen, that 372BB does sound better than the first two!
Which one?
The 372BB sounds better than the 440/60 and the 441

I swear I said that already on the first page.
Thanks Brad, perhaps our staff statistician Edisto, can do some analysis on those times. .06 varience doesn't seem that significant between the 3 saws. I had some statistics in grad school and it would appear to be difficult to declare a clear winner in this situation, especially with the 441 not being broken in. I can speak with personal experience that my 441 took significantly longer to break in than my other non-stratified Stihl saws. No excused here for the 441 I would just request a retest after it has some more hours on the clock. In the 261 post it was suggested that the only accurate way to measure performance on a saw would be a bench dyno. You could make multiple runs and no operator errors or wood variance would be in the equation to skew the results.

LOL, I know we fought like cats and dogs a couple days ago over something, whatever it was. But I think we see eye 2 eye on this one mang.
I love a 372. One of the funnest saws I've ever ran. As I said earlier, I gotz to have one. The 7900 I would consider 80cc, though it is THE funnest saw I've ever ran. I still liked the feel of the 372 better though.
Oh boy.

Maybe I'll go ahead and sacrifice my 440's muffler to the mod gods tomorrow, and put another port on the flywheel side, mwuuuwahaaaaaa:chainsawguy:
Don't forget, the 440s fastest cut time was identical to the fastest of the 372. The 372 has two 3/4" pipes welded in the muffler. The 440 only has the original port opened up. No second port on it:rockn:
Hey Brad,
Did you do the same thing to this 441 as you did to mine? Just wondering.
I was using mine today, all day, clearing dead-fall and cutting firewood at Kim's mom's land. I still get a kick out of how strong that thing is for it's size. It really pulls like a much bigger saw and is snappy like a much smaller saw.
Dunno. I reckon the 385/90 sound better (not as tinny) with the 395 topping those.
