Power when it's needed!
We cut our own firewood, and living where we do, we have a lot of hardwood trees to cut. Around here, hickory and elm are the two hardest woods to cut. We were using a Jonsered 625ii and wanted a saw that was close in size and power to that saw, and that could run a 24" bar with ease. After looking at a lot of different saws, we chose the 372XP. We haven't used it a ton since we bought it, but we have put it through it's paces. The first thing that we really like is the snap on cover to access the spark plug and air filter. All of our other saws always involved screws to remove the cover. The air filter on this saw is the best that I've ever seen on any saw. It's like an automotive filter! It's easy to screw on and off. We also noticed that it stays pretty clean compared to other saws that we've run. The one complaint that we have about the saw is that it's easy to flood. We've flooded this thing a few times. I suppose that's just a matter of getting used to the saw. This saw is really easy on bar and chain oil. Make sure you read your manual and adjust the oil flow accordingly. Ours came factory one turn out, but we have a 24" bar and the book calls for 3 turns out. It's decent as far as gas consumption. Power is absolutely amazing. This thing screams! The other thing that we noticed is how smooth this thing is compared to our older saws. The anti-vibe on this thing is great. It's actually a bit lighter than the Jonsered 625ii even though this is a bigger saw and has a bigger bar than the Jonsered that we ran. Once this saw is warmed up, it's a breeze to start. You barely pull the cord once and it fires up ready to work. We've never had a warm saw start quite as easy. We don't use the decompression valve, but that's because we've never had one on a saw before and start ours fine without it. It is conveniently located at the top of the saw as opposed to the side of the saw like the older models. The clutch is an inboard clutch which is nice. The chain tensioner is the simplest that I've ever used. It's a really nice saw. It feels like it was designed to be easy to use, operate, and maintain. The owners manual could explain greasing the needle bearing a little better. Other than that, we feel that this saw is a quality saw and wouldn't be afraid to by another one if a tornado blew this one away!

What a Saw!
Very powerful saw to handle anything you might need it too! Will cut through through even the toughest trees without slowing down or missing a beat. I run a 28" bar on mine and have been able to cut through some very large trees with ease! Be sure to adjust the oiler depending on what size bar you are running on the saw. Would put this saw up against any other saw out there. A little pricy but well worth it.

my 372
I own 4 372 and i am very pleased with what i have. We use our saws alost daily for limbing, topping, and even felling. The saw is great on the logging site and i can use it to cut firewood as well. You can run this saw all day and it wont kill your arms. The power is great, and it cuts through hardwood like ash, oak, and hard maple with ease. I have never really had any problems with your saws and will look to buy more in the future. Stihl doesn't touch this. Thanks for a great product

Best Saw i ever have owned
i have owned a number of chain saws over the years and my 372XP stands above them all! i have cut wood along side many, many people using STIHL saws that were as big or bigger than my Husk and not one of them could ever keep up with my 372XP! If you are looking for the best, buy a Husqvarna. i have been cutting wood for 40 years and i know a few things about chain saws. My 372XP is 8 years old and hasn't given me one problem, runs as good as it did the day i bought it!

This is a great product!
I cut a tremendous amount of firewood each year to keep 2 outdoor boilers going. One for myself and one for my aging parrents. I've owned several saws over the years and and have tried several different brands. After experiencing saw troubles durring the fall of 2011, I decided to purchase a new saw. I was not sure what to buy this time since I had tried various makes. I had experienced so-so performance with each saw. I decided that I would try a Husqvarna after visting a dealer. I explained that I wanted a proffesional saw that would get the job done. He suggested the 372 XP, so I purchased one. This is no doubt, the best saw that I've ever owned. From the first time I started it, I could tell that this saw had the power and when I sunk it in a log squeezing the throttle, I knew that I bought the right saw. This is a saw that has great power and will drop though a log in seconds. I starts great hot or cold.
