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!

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.

Excellent Saw
I have been using my 372XP about 7 years for cutting firewood and falling trees. Do not feel/see performance difference from when new. Will buy another if I ever wear this one out!!!

Now my favorite saw
This saw runs like a scalded dog!
My 372 XP has become my new favorite saw. With a 24" blade, it is only slightly heavier than my 20" saws, and it cuts SO much faster. It also cuts faster than my 395 XP, with much less weight, so if I don't need the extra bar length, the 372 is my go-to saw. The only potential problem has been that it can cut TOO fast and eat a hinge if I am not careful.

Great Saw For Comercial Logging
The Husqvarna 372XP is in my opinion the best saw for comercial logging. It's light enought that you can carry it through the woods all day but, it doesn't scrifice power. The power to weight ratio is excelent. It's a great saw for felling, limbing and cutting logs to lenth. It's also a very rugged saw and can hold up to the rough life of comercial logging. It's a very fast saw and with a sharp chain it can save you alot of time compared to other saws.
