the perfect bar for a 372?

[MattyF]

that would be nice mate,swap for a brand new unused 14" 200t bar if you want

[Mr Ed]

One with an 18", one with a 24".

Helps if you port the exhaust. Bit noisy but plenty powerfull!

[Tree cutter Stu]

run it on an 18inch it will rip thought pine what an aswome saw i love mine

[igottacabstar]

Mine runs a 24" just fine, even when used to capacity.

[Bodean]

24" bar with semi skip.

Lightning fast, watch your toes.

 

I even go 24" full comp sometimes for mawing wood.

The bar length debate makes me chuckle a bit. Imo it will be different for everyone. Depends on cutting style and how much power or lack of one is willing to put up with. I like to say I've never had a saw which is to powerful. My 660 woods mod is pulling a 24" in the woodpile lately and it's a acceptable amount of power to me. Of course it will pull a much larger bar if need be.

My 372 is running an 18" bar it had a 24 on it but since work seem incapable of having my 357 repaired to acceptable standards I'm using the 372 all day:151:

[Log-ologist]

I usually use the 372 with 20"

 

but on fridays its 15" day.

 

supreme cutting.

[Chris Sheppard]

I run mine with a 15" bar and an 8 tooth sprocket with low rakers - brilliant for felling and awesone for snedding. Did use to run a 20" on it but it just didn't feel right.

 

My 353 has only ever had a 13" on it but that's been robbed to go on the processor at the mo.

 

I always though a 395 with a big sprocket and a 24" bar would be a good combination - would rip through anything

You working in the woods harvesting with that set-up Chris?
