Husqvarna 365xp

Hi guys

Just looking at the husqvarna 365xp. Anyone got any good or bad reviews on the model. I liked the idea of the 70cc and bar length max goes to 28" I've got some big oak so with it going up to they size again ticks the box.

Good saw, however it is not an XP, the later model is an X Torq saw, plenty of people on the site who will tell you how to mod it up to a 372XP, the earlier 365 i feel was a better saw.

The 365XT is basically the same saw as the 372xpXT, and 70.7cc. However it has restictors in the transfers, to reduce the power output.

I understand it takes about halv an hour to remove the restrictors, if you know how to do it, and have the right equipment. Then it will perform like a 372xpXT.

 

The earlier 365s were 65cc saws, some open port, and some closed port quads.

Yeah sorry x-tourque. I seen a few 365 special second hand but do like the idea of the extra cc's,

Hi,

 

I have a 365 XTorq, I prefer that its not an XP (autotune) saw as I can only see it makes it more reliable.

 

I run a 20" bar, Id say that 24" is probably the maximum size bar & a 28" would make it a little slow in Oak but it may be OK for infrequent use & as posted, its easy to tweak the engine.

 

If you want a saw that will run a 28" bar well I'd look at a 390xp

I've got a 365 x torq with a 20" bar, I think it might deal with a 24" at a push but that's it...

I have a 365xt and a 2165 which is the Jonsered version of the 65cc model. The xt is stronger stock than the 65cc model and does fine with a 24" bar. After having the restrictions removed on the xt and some port work done to it, it will handle a 28" bar just fine.

Hi,

 

I am aware of that, I was stating that I prefer my 365 XTorque as a 'non auto tune' saw as the ones that are; 550 & 560 seem to have experienced reliability issues in the past - which are hopefully sorted now.

I just went off the spec on the husqvarna website saying it would go up to a max of a 28" bar.

I would not use that size on a regular basis but would be there there to use if needed at times.

Can't fault the wealth of knowledge on this site and thank you for all that help with the advice.
