Not So Pro 3

From what I understand the 371 quickly became the 372 as the 371 was a little under built.

I don’t expect the young padawon to have the finesse to runaway 371 without breaking it.

That said I would like to hear what @Stump Shot would say on the matter. He’s been in both I am certain.

The way I understand it the only difference between 371 & 372 was the 371 pto case half was a little weak at the bar studs. Strengthening on the 372.
Correct me if I’m wrong guys
Brother has a 371 stock and it runs strong

@ayoungtexan this is a 490

Nope. Reading books bores the hell out of me

Unless it’s porn

Would the 371 be better for a 24-28 inch? I’m gonna likey run either of these with a 28 light bar on it. Would the 371 balance better than the 461?

If you want to run a 28” bar and be able to bury it, I would go with the 461....it’s gonna have more ass...or at least that has been my experience.

More like it’s too weak for its weight. If it were a 462 I’d tell him to get that one. The price he’d be getting the 461 at I would not be happy

You wouldn’t be happy with a mint 461 for 550? Seems like a great deal to me, same goes for the 371 for $350

Never heard it was weaker in the case
Pistons also are different single 371 vs double in the 372

I had a 372xp and kept it longer than any one of my saws. It was a great runner.

No I would not and mint is debatable. I don’t know why you ask for advice when you already know everything anyway

 

[Stihl working Hard]

You could learn how to but you’re always slacking

Lmao

...but hold his tongue.

I need feedback from people who have used both of them

The truth is, either the 371 or 461 are going to be your best friend compared to that echo of yours when you get into bigger wood.

Right

A saw with almost double the horsepower would be a big help for wood bigger than 20”. Both of them seem like great saws
