It's my favorite saw. Got one of the very last ones last summer before they switched to the new model.

what bars are you running on your 372? i was thinking of running a 24 husqy bar.

 

[treestyler]

that's not so kind of you to give this kid that less money for a good saw ;-)

almost feel sorry for him.

We run the bars that help spin the chain really fast, and cut lots of wood. What are you going to be doing with this chainsaw? Felling large trees? the company I work for has over 12 372, and all of them have 20" bars on them, any bigger, and we use a 395, which is usually the last cut.
But Hey, i would get the biggest bar you can afford! be sure to post about it too okay!!

 

[chris_girard]

I switch out from a 20" to a 24" bar depending on what I'm cutting. Most of the time, it's the 20" bar.

I'm seeing them sitting on shelves here. A re-release or leftovers I am not sure, but they are here. Around $800.

I just bought a dmm thimble and pinto pulley spacer. Sweet! And a replacement bridge for my sequoia, Booya!

Fibs. Unless he stole the saw from someone or it's old as f-. Someone doesn't buy an XP saw or just "come into" one that they can sell for that price, especially a 372. It's not a homeowner saw so that rules out any r-tard purchasing it, unless the salesman was desperate; I haven't seen any reputable dealer that sells husky or stihl look desperate imo. Owners of a 372 don't strike me as those to just give up on it and sell it for 75bucks when it's an 900 dollar saw after taxes... unless they are die hard stihl guys trying to make a ludicrous point, but why waste the money?

ok ill post a youtube once i buy it. even if the piston is shot, its still only gonna cost like $200 to get a new piston and jug. i may even buy a big bore kit.

 

[unatool]

loved my 372's. I ran a 24" bar.

I also went to buy another one before they changed the carb.
My local shop was all out - so I got a 440 Stihl. Both seem very comparable.
Now I run lightweight 28 inch bars. Less bending over...

Quietly celebrate...

Really, we believe you, a youtube video ISN'T necessary.

If the blue decompression button is on the rt. side, and not on top, then it's an original 372 xp, not the re-release ones.

 

[CreTree]

How much time did you get out of your first bridge? Mine still looks good just a little shiny inside.

 

[Maui Palm & Tree Care]

im thinking cause we have a lot of hard woods im gonna invest in a big bore kit for it to give it a bit more oomph through the cut and run a 24" B&C oregon skip chain.

chris the blue decomp valve is on the side

 

[oscar4883]

Great saw. I normally run a 24in. Stihl ES bar on mine with full-comp. A big bore kit really won't give you any more power over a stock top end. Some of the kits may even be worse.

 

[jeff_r]

30" bar with skip chain

The Jonsered 2171 is the same saw as the 372xp. Been running one with 24" bar for a few years now, very good saw.
