Thanks Jon. Now the 372 had just got 3 votes. Why the 372 and not 576, stubby your the husky expert

 

For me the 576 seemed pointless . Miniscule amount more power than a 372 but a lot extra weight . Nearly as heavy as a 385 but not as much power as a 385 .

I suppose i have to throw a spanner in the works here so ... i had an early 576 , got a handy enough life on an 18 inch mostly softwood and it lasted only around 14 months .

Bought a 441 (only because there was a waiting time on 461s and i needed a saw straight away ) lives on a 25 inch bar in dry hardwood and it is an animal only problem is breaking anti vibe rubbers which is obviously to do with what is an oversized beam .

Not a very scientific theory i know but I firmly belive that despite all the quality control you still get good and bad in every product , its happened me with cars ,vans and jeeps etc .

If i wanted a bomb proof for reasonable money saw it would be a 365 x torq and after a year or so id let Spud or Wyk have a fiddle with her .
