Re: 372xp
372xp excellent saw... cant really fault it.
love my 044.... but now replaced by the fat bottomed girl that is the 441... not my bag, get more power for the same weight in the 460 makita/dolmar 7900... another option, more power than all of them, less weight than the 441 and 460... handle a few, see what you think |

Re: 372xp
Stihl stihl for me. MS462- is there such a thing? I think my 361 is awesome and have had it as the saw i use more than any other for about 10 yrs now.

Re: 372xp
The460 is a cracking well made saw with loads of mid range grunt.

Re: 372xp
I ws running a 15" bar on my 372 in the Lakes, it surely ripped through the wood.
Build quality isn't what it used to be on the Husky's of old. Had mine about 4 years with no problems. Last edited by Buzz; 09-08-09 at 11:19 PM.. |
