Your choice 2171 or 2172

[MacLaren]

Quite simple, if you had your choice which would you buy; the 2171 or the 2172? And by all means, please feel free to elaborate on your position.
As always, Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it guys!!

As of now, Im leaning towards the 2172. I really like that it has 5.6 hp. I also think that it will be a fine saw, and I kinda would like to have a strato. I had a 575 but never fueled it and its now on its way to California, so I never really got to run it. Plus, a new Jonsered...Thats pretty much all good in my book.:rocker:

You forgot about the added weight, and more max power doesn't always show in actual performance.....

True. But I was actually going by your own report that the findings of actual power were somewhere in between the 2171 and the 372 xpw.

 

[MacLaren]

What is the actual added weight....I thought it said what 13.4? or is it more?

 

[little possum]

Can I vote twice?


2171, tried and true.
2172, new school, old school design mostly.

IDK how you can go wrong. New saw will have a warranty for a little while anyways

Thank you sir. I was leaning towards the '72, but you just pushed me back towards the '71. lol.

Pretty sure Spike said the top ends will interchange. So if there was ever a failure, a top end shouldnt be a problem though.

And that 2172 is just so new and shiney

That is just the specs, it has not really been proven yet!

 

[spike60]

And you cannot feel the weight difference either. :rockn:

 

[MacLaren]

I have the answer. I just had an epihany. The 2188!!! Lol!!

 

[SawTroll]

I can imagine that - specs is one thing, the truth may be different......:rockn:

Are you on something today, Troll? Maybe a little heavy on the "sauce"?

LOL - I have never said that specs are the final truth, as they obviously aren't (but they are much better than no info at all) - they are just an indication on about what to expect......:biggrinbounce2:

I wouldn't get either if I had a 372 XPW.

But you got the cad pretty bad, so just get both :biggrinbounce2:

I know right!? .....I went with a 2188!! Lol!!
No, seriously I thought it would be neat to have one if the 2171 before they went to strato like husky. (Not to say anything is wrong with strato's) but I git over it! Lol
