Long ago when I ran that little 034 I modded it to get more speed, but having a Frenchmen on my back running a skidder like Mario Andretti looking for more wood, I had no choice but to run the bigger saw. I have heard lots of good reports of the MS361.

60cc saws like the Husky 162,262XP, 365xp. Jonsered 630 are on top for proven power and reliability. Now the Husky 560XP and 562XP look like the next promise to take over.

To see the video just google "Limbing Techniques For The Professional Cutter" Soren Eriksson. Soren was one of if not the sole founder of "Game Of Logging". When I first trained to footlock climb dynamic and static it was in the year 2000 by ArborMaster Training Canada. In the USA they were a...

I'm not saying the 034 Stihl wasn't a good saw. It may be good for someone who works by the hour pay but not on piecework rate. I bought one of the very first ones in 1984 when I was logging. The "new to the world" at the time, chain side tensioner was quite the hit. But it was a toy compared...

Interesting note about that video was it was made by Stihl in 1985 when they hired Soren Eriksson to be their North American training consultant. In the video Soren was using the new inboard clutch Stihl 034AV which Stihl introduced a year earlier. Not long after Soren jumped ship over to...

That's right Jay a b/c closer to the center of the powerhead rolls better with precision while cutting. I measured the distance of the bar from the crankcase center gasket on the 272 and its 2". On the 372 the bar is 2 3/4" from the center crankcase gasket. 3/4" might not sound like much but in...

One more I forgot the hot rod MS200 has a outboard clutch and its little brother the 019/192 has a inboard clutch.

Well Al my outboard clutch Husky 395XP puts out more then my 066 Magnum and my outboard clutch Stihl 090AV is more heavy duty then the 084. The big Macs and Homies you have run are no slouchs either.

Yes with the b/c closer to the center of the saw and the weight of the clutch assembly on the outside the saw is better balanced . Not only for limbing but for general cutting as well, but most noticabily in limbing. Heat from the clutch is not absorbed into the crankcase as well. On long bars I...

I still haven't put the 272XP into the wood yet, maybe tomorrow. Will be doing a job on a nice lakeshore, perfect spot to get some decent pics of it before it looses its cherry:lol: Jay the 272XP has 72.2 cc, 13.7 lbs, 5.2 hp. The 372XP has 70.7 cc, 13.4 lbs, 5.3 hp. I'm running a 22" b/c...

Haha...almost worked Jay. I really hate to get this saw scratched up and dirty, but I can't wait to use it. I can't see the rubber mounts being a vibration issue because Stihl still uses them in some of their pro saws. I remember years back and maybe they still sell them where Husqvarna/Jonsered...

Well here it is guys ,my 1993 Husqvarna 272XP that has never cut a stick of wood.What kind of saw geeks photo would this be without the wife's best table doily.:D This saw is too valuable to keep on a shelf, so I'm putting it to work. I put a 8 pin 3/8 rim on it with 16" b/c. This saw will put...

I can't say for sure, I was once a hard core Stihl man and only switched to Husky a few years ago. The Huskies of the 1990s are a little bit of a mystery to me. With this never used 272XP I'll see what I missed back then. Still waiting for the new Husqvarna bar so I can post pics of it. I...

According to an old Madsen's spring 1997 catalog I have the 371XP was just introduced, so its safe to say 1996 was the year that it came out. The 372 came later.

Yes Stihl makes the RSC3 3/8 chisel with the safety deflective ramp on top of the drive link alongside the depth gauge which also has a safety deflective ramp on the front of it. Stihl has introduced this design only recently, Oregon's LP now LPX [RSC3 equivelent] was introduced in the 1970s...

Are you talking about the 371XP upgrade ? When you switched to Stihl you were probably sold on the side chain tensioner and quick air filter access. Alot of loggers and pulpcutters switched to Stihl for those 2 reasons starting way back in 1984 with the introduction of the 034AV, 064 and 084AV...

I have to add when Husky introduced the spring anti vibe and air injection on their 262XP in 1989, the 268-272XPs kept the rubber mounts and no air injection right up into the mid 1990s.....[ What I figured they did to keep their loyal pro market.] But the odd thing they did was in 1991 they...

When Stihl Canada hired me in the summer of 1989 spring anti vibe mounts were the joke in the office, because our competition Husqvarna introduced their 262XP with spring anti vibe mounts [the air injection was also a joke too, knowing that if not blocked off in winter the saw would suck in...

The anti vibe chain made by Oregon and Stihl has only been around for about 8 yrs. Like Kevin says Stihl calls it "Comfort" and oregon has it on their LPX and LGX. Look at a Oregon sawchain's cutter and you will see a funny looking arrow between the heel and toe's rivets . That is telling you...

Todays anti vibe chain [Oregon and Stihl] helps cut out alot of that vibration from the older saws.
