I am not really "big" on anything related to saws, but I prefere Stihl chain, given the choise.
As the situation is here, I am stuck with Oregon in 3/8" for Husky etc, as the bars only come in .058, and Stihl doesn't want to sell chain in that gauge - but no big deal, as the 73LP/H42 is a pretty good chain.:biggrinbounce2:
I nave not tried LGX or LPX yet.

The only vibes I felt were in my feet as the faithful 372 lay next to my side idling, just begging to be picked up and layed into the wood.
Can you say that on the internet?

Bring that "saw" out here... we'll put it (and you) to the test.
Plus you'll be the only one with a funny lookin' orange saw...:hmm3grin2orange:
Seriously though... glad you like the 372. If I would ever buy a Husqvarna, that is prolly the saw I would start with.

Well, the saw should technically be a big bore if you bought it new. Didn't they jump displacement a few CC's this year?
As far as the woods mod, there is NOTHING wrong with grinding on a new saw. It surely doesn't destroy the saw, just makes it run better. Longevity isn't compromised one bit!
What? Husky buys bars from Oregon and puts their blue letters down the side. Oregon makes bars in .050", .058" and .063" ga. Also, Stihl sells 3/8"x.058" chain in RSC and RM. Clean your glasses and take another gander at your spec sheet Troll. Availability on the otherhand, may be a problem for you in your location. Just didn't want you confusing anyone!

Well Gary, the 372XP is my "work" saw. I'm lookin' over your list of "play" saws and felling kinda small. I guess the old line that comes to mind is: "Dang, I coulda had a V-8."

Now go trade that 372 in for a ms440 if you really want to cut fast!:jester:

joatmon... That 372 is prolly one of the best saws Husqvarna ever made. I wish I had one. You'll love it.
2000... You can't be serious!:bang:

I know, but there seem to be sort of an agreement here, that makes it impossible to get Husky large mount bars in .050 or .063, and Stihl chains in anything but .063..........:bang: :bang: :monkey: :monkey:
Oregon chain in .063 is possible, but delivery time is 3 months or more.......

Well I bought a nearly new 2000 model 372xp and after about 4 tanks through it, it is starting to loosen up alittle. I like the non limiting coil on it. Did the later epa models have any type of cat muffler or anything, mine is just a empty box?
Glad to hear your new puppy, the 372XP, put in a couple good days work on some oak. I like it but it is a little steep for my budget. I use the baby brother of the 357XP, the 359. I like the way this size saw handles. I'm looking for a 357XP/372XP owner in the area so I can mooch a couple of cuts with his saw. Everytime I'm out with dogs I'm keeping an eye out for orange saws to look at.
You might get your 6 year old a small bow saw so he can help cutup small limbs and feel like he is really into the activity. Does he wear small gloves when filing. Hearing protection I'm sure.

Based on my sample size of one, I'd have to say I agree with you both. Stihl allegedly makes 3/8ths .058, but doesn't want to sell it!
Back in November, I went to a Stihl dealership to order some of the above size in a 20" RSC loop. None of Stihl's current bars (that I know of) are .058 guage, so I knew it was a special order thing and was perfectly okay with that.
Just over one month later, guy calls me up, got my chain in. He never checked his order for accuracy, mind you, so the .325 chain that showed up....uhhhhhh...well it went unsold. That was back in December mind you...it's now mid-March. No calls since.
Sample size of one, I know...and let's face it...at least in the Detroit area, Stihl will give a dealership to a fish farm. Don't want the chain anymore, kind of hope the guy does call me up to let me know he's got it. That way the idiot will have two loops of .058 that he can't move.
