A 372 can turn a Stihl guy into a Husky guy in the blink of an eye

I was thinking the opposite re the 462!!! (Sorry, but I didn't start it!!!)

Keep Dreamin .
I'm convinced that statement was only made to bring the stihl men out

A 372xpw 51.4mm can turn a Stihl guy into a Husky guy in the blink of an eye

Fixed for accuracy. Lol

Thanks Mason because I'm not sure an Xtorx would make me put down my 044...just sayin! Its more than just cut speed also!

The OE and XPW really can, the XT can't

Would ya put the 044 down for an XPW?

Does it still feel like a non XPW? If I could still get that top end I would have one and see.

I have a 371XP build in progress right now so ill see how this turns out. Don't get me wrong I like saws of all colors! Some more than others!

Yup, and I have. Well for a ported 372.

Was the 044 stock? If it was, then you’d be crazy not to trade a stock saw for a ported saw

Whats a stock saw?

Meh not here I sold my 390 XP and kept my ms 460 at least it doesn't fall over every time I put it down I even got rid of a 262 XP And a ms261 replaced that same thing it doesn't fall over all the time and both stihls have more tourqe.

I agree Dan, I'd rather run several saws over a 372.
I can't stand the exhaust note!

 

[dustinwilt68]

Put a roller catcher on the husky and it doesn't fall over, easy solution for 6.00-7.00, if you got rid of a 390 for that then your probably a Stihl guy anyways, nothing wrong w a 460 but it's not a 390 that's for sure.

A good well done 375 is a good runner. It’s got noticeably more torque than a 372 XT/50mm OE. The problem is the proprietary piston/ring size is kind of a pain in the azz (only two options... oem or weisco which are both expensive). The 52mm aftermarket can run really good when done right but.... the longevity is the problem there obviously. The 50mm OE is still my favorite all around cylinder for many reasons.

I didn't like Huskys till I used an old Non decomp KS 288...what a saw!

 

[Rogee]

You mean the 550mk2?

I must be odd . I've gone from stihl to husky ( well mostly)

I admit I'm not fine with a stock 372's lack of torque compared to a 044, but the handling and balance, not to mention AV, are miles ahead of the Stihl IMHO. Once ported, the Husky wins out over ported Stihls for the reasons given, Plus the 372 can easily oil a 36" bar.

Well the oiling will never be an issue with a 70cc saw as ill never ask it to run a 36" bar. We got other saws for that.

Agree on the anti vibe thing . I used an 044 i built up for the first time in years the other week and I was a bit stunned at how far anti vibe has come since then.
