If you can afford a new 365Xtorque ( and I know this has been said before ) you can grind the fins of the inside of the transfer covers and you have an instant 372 Xtorque for 365 money . Just a thought .

Grind the fins explain to the dutch guy stubby , what do you mean .

If you remove the transfer covers you will see on the inside that there is a fin on each . A kind of restriction . If you carefully remove them with , say a Dremmel or similar it then becomes identical to the 372Xtorque saw only a few quid less in price . Ridicules I know but there it is .

or you can just fit 372 transfers if you dont want to grind em, same size AFAIK

For that budget I'd buy a stihl 051 or 056super. You could probably buy two saws,and a new bar and chain. No worries about power!

Old,heavy and often without chain breaks, so not for site work.

Send it to spud , check out the chainsaw section of the forum he has a porting thread. He did a port job timing mod and popped up piston (Burrell did the milling) and muffler mod on a 560 for me ... the saw is ridiculous in soft Wöod!

An old husky 288 that will run a 32" for milling and 20"for fire wood but they hold there money so will be around 250-400

Or an old 266? They can be picked up a lot cheaper would probably pull a 32" on skip.. very torquey saw though.

Try and go for a late model plastic chain brake handle version of both saws if you do.
