365xt or 560xp for cutting logs

[Figgy]

As per title what would be your choice for cutting logs no real felling.

 

My thinking 365xt is 70cc being run at slower revs with higher torque for heavy handedness on cut and should reliable for years and years.

 

560xp 60cc revs it's nuts off people love it, but seems temperamental.

 

Nearest dealers are stihl husky people so will stick with one of these makes,and been told off two lads in dealers the husky 560xp is the daddy and one to go for, won't bog down and goes like a bat outa hell.

365 probably better suited to a bit of logging.

Logging saw 365 all the way !! .. High speed rip snorting snedding n felling saw 560!

another vote for the 365, just brought one a couple of weeks ago and been very pleased with it so far, it's not high revving but got plenty of grunt.

I use them both, smaller trees just get the 560. For the bigger ones I get the 365.

It just all depends on the job you are taking care of. Love the 560 for use up in the tree sawing down parts my tophandle can't manage.

 

If I was to choose between either one, I would def choose the 560 cause of its crazy power and rev boost :-)

What size bar and chain combo for 365, as I understand after reading on net the 365 can be modded easily to make it rev faster turning it into a 372 xp if required.

I've never use the X torq one but the older ones we used to run on 15" - chances are the X torq is a fair bit pokier now so reckon 20" should be fine. I've not put anything bigger than a 20" on my 372 but most of the time it's pulling an 8 tooth sprocket.
