Got an ol 670 Champ Jonsered that I bought new in the mid 90’s to cut timber with. STILLhave that saw today and use it for firewood. Just can’t beat them!
Congratulations! Sorry for the loss of the 2171. I recently acquired a 372xp non-xtorq for just fiddy bux. It was missing a couple of pieces and had some broken parts, but I am getting it back together. It’s now in running/ cutting condition. Just need a few more parts to make it complete.
Believe it or not guy in my town offered me a 372xp for my new Timberwolf but it has a carb problem which a new one is only $22 for a walboro carb. It’s too much saw for what I use it for though. I’d like to have one though. It was kinda on the rough side, far as plastic wise
I was kinda wondering at first, and then you adjusted her, leaned her out, and what a difference! Impressive! Sounded like she was pretty much spot on, four stroking and all... I have to say, when she was running rich, she wasn't cutting like she should, but I loved the sound! That’s just me. Nice saw. Congrats! 👍
There is a reason why the husky 372 is so widely sought after in the logging industry They get even better with a muffler mod and a big bore kit or some porting done to it I have two of them and two of the clone saw. Holzfforma g372xp
The johnsered in that model reminds me of the Italian 264f olympyk just more snort lol. I just recently finally swallowed my pride and bought a 372xp clone so I can test some things on a cheaper scale before committing the parts or ideas to a $1000 husky. Them cutters edge saws are beautiful 🤩
Recently picked up a 2152 and 2049. Plastics definitely feel like an afterthought; horrible to take off and replace the top covers without taking recoil of. I like them because they are a cheap source of the newest oem husky parts for my pre-xtorq saws
That's interesting. I've always thought that JReds felt better constructed than the cheaper feeling Huskies. And i would perfer to use the common Huskies as parts sources for my Jreds. Crazy how we can have the different opinions.
Best ever made was probably stihls 076. Buddy was a timber faller for 30 years with just 4 076’s. Personally I think the best was my old red light 066 but then again I didn’t use it every day for 3 decades
But then you'd have the angled Husky handle. Which is fine, but it doesn't match the chain brake and just overall not the real deal. I'm glad it has the legit Jonsered full wrap.
Kinda new to your channel. Buying either husky or jonsered 71 cc x torq saw new, never running it and putting a non x torq head is common practice in the logging world. Keep them sharp keep them clean they will last forever
Glad you have arrived! Love my Cutters Edge saw! I did a Wack-Off between this saw and a 2172 X-TORQ that I lightly modified. It's all documented on the channel if you look for it.
Cute kinda slow for a full house chain those rakers might be slightly to high like stihl’s out of the box chain get a raker gauge then you can keep your chain cutting like new for a long long time
The 372xp is so good and so popular that u can get 390xp or 395xp new or lightly used off eBay cheaper than a 372. So I may get stuck with a big overpowered saw 🤷🏻♂️.
It’s true xtorq saws run lean. But I promise you a 372 xtorq properly ported, mixed with some aftermarket parts, good oil, and proper fuel. Will run and last every bit as well and as long as the XP’s. I have a few videos on the subject if you look far enough back on my channel. Also my latest videos are with a highly modified 372 xtorq. That’s a sharp looking saw btw. I’m interested to see where you go with it!
It seems like you have to go through a lot of extra trouble to make that X torq a viable saw. Whereas in the logging world if you convert it over to a non-x toraue the 372 will simply outperform outlast any form of X torque. We of course had to buy X torqs when they first come out and of course they burnt up on us within a year. So we gathered up those chassis and other parts and had original OEM husky heads/carb put back on and have been running awesome ever since. That was 10 years ago.
Ever cut a 55" oak? Now that really tests a saw. Y'alls big firs and cedars make your saws look special. Come east and put your chains into some real hardwood... it'll stop your low rakers dead in their tracks.
@@novicelumberjack no it wouldn’t cause I’d buy a new chain and shorter bar and rip wood like y’all do. I’m not hating it’s just that tree size is what makes cutting complicated and dangerous not wood hardness. I get your guys trees are wider which makes residential work tricky. But in terms of commercial timber nothing beats the thrill of laying into some 10 ft cedars.
I bought a ms400c iam just a home owner but I burn wood so I look at it as an investment as part of my heating system and the wife went for it haha one happy man still on tank 6 and waiting for the big take off in power
Yup. An old gnarly locust tree is the hardest wood I've ever cut also. I've heard old Bois D'arc trees are the hardest and guys buying the tungsten carbide saw chains to take them out. I wouldn't know cuz I ain't cut one yet but I'm ready to! East vs West? Y'all come get some in the South.
West coast guyz, east coast guyz, pfftttttttttttt .... come on in to flyover land and we'll see what kind of deliverance from the forests either one of you have. Sooooouuuu iieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !
The best saws are 371, 372, 2171, 2172, and 7100. 66, 65, 88 and 90 work too. Now 592, 572 and 550 has become welcomed newcomers.

Nice video- totally agree with you on the x-torq saws.. i like the old school 'smogger' saws! Old Husky 272's are hard to beat, unless ya got a Stihl
Congratulations! Sorry for the loss of the 2171. I recently acquired a 372xp non-xtorq for just fiddy bux. It was missing a couple of pieces and had some broken parts, but I am getting it back together. It’s now in running/ cutting condition. Just need a few more parts to make it complete.
The early 372 Xtorqs ran on the original 372 cases and pounded the saw to failure. The piston is heaver and users set RPMs like the original 372.
Sounds better after leaning out,but needs to have the chain tuned a little.
My favorite saw is my jonsered 2065 turbo with a straight pipe! Have you ever piped your saws?
6 months is a long wait 4 shipping, how long was it before your patience ran out with USPS? 👍🆙BigGuy
dolmar 7900 has entered the chat.
15:00 music to my ears
Nice little collection you have for sure.
Thanks!
I agree the 365/71/72 and jred equivalent is my all time favorite series of saws
I love when somebody’s dream comes true. Glad the saw showed up brother👍👍👍👍
lol 😂. I love husky my self. But I was going to ask if you had ever had a hold of a johnsered.

A woodshark would look fast in fur.
Just got a mint craftsman 3.7 for the collection next up is a Jonny for sure

Very nice saw I have 2 670 Jred cutters edge love em

That’s a heck of a saw, chain is making pretty small chips though. It would cut faster using more torque if you opened up the chain a little bit
Best ever made was probably stihls 076. Buddy was a timber faller for 30 years with just 4 076’s. Personally I think the best was my old red light 066 but then again I didn’t use it every day for 3 decades
For in past was Husky 266.
And to make a husky 372 full wrap fit. You literally have to drill 1 hole in the handle
That's it

Best chainsaw ever made ! Agree 💯 you should make a jonsered and badge it with GMC stickers . Now that would be bad ass
I was so scared that it had been lost in the mail forever. Six months is a loonnnggg time for a package to get delivered!
The 372xp is so good and so popular that u can get 390xp or 395xp new or lightly used off eBay cheaper than a 372. So I may get stuck with a big overpowered saw 🤷🏻♂️.
You haven't ran a hopped up husky 572xp then. I have built OG 372xp and the 572xp outruns it.
Oh I'm sure it does! But...not everything has to be about speed. At least not for me. I'm really happy with my old Cutters Edge.
@@novicelumberjack you liking it is all that matters lol
Crazy how much we like these things, isn't it?

Austin you are spot on buddy
Hahah razzing us about a 25 inch oak when the firs and cedars we cut are 48 plus

U and me both , the 372xp is the best saw ever made to me
If you want to sell the 372 let me know
You and 🦎 were watching Boedy pretty much from the beginning👍🆙🐊
@@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws yep definitely
I bought a ms400c iam just a home owner but I burn wood so I look at it as an investment as part of my heating system and the wife went for it haha one happy man still on tank 6 and waiting for the big take off in power
Yes 66.8 cc is bare minimum for cutting firewood make sure your wife knows you skimped so next time you can go a little bigger 😂😉
Since they don't make that saw anymore my dream saw is a Makita
The hardest wood I've cut was black locust
Yup. An old gnarly locust tree is the hardest wood I've ever cut also.
I've heard old Bois D'arc trees are the hardest and guys buying the tungsten carbide saw chains to take them out.
I wouldn't know cuz I ain't cut one yet but I'm ready to!
East vs West?
Y'all come get some in the South.
I’m into locust now. Hard stuff.
12:24 that's what she said.
😆 😂
Husky 372 xp. Best saw ever made.
This is the guy bidding up these saws to 600 on eBay
the 1970s pioneer p28 is the best cottage saw ever made.
Can’t afford to spend a thousand on a chainsaw then goes out and gets and 592 and Stihl 400 🤣 😂
I need a 2171.
I have a 2171 I love it
I too want badly to get into this chassis i can never afford it though lol im a poulan man and those guys are USUALLY cheap.
I think you got it now
West coast guyz, east coast guyz, pfftttttttttttt .... come on in to flyover land and we'll see what kind of deliverance from the forests either one of you have.
Sooooouuuu iieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !
Nice saw
I wish all my dead ash would land like that oak!!
Husqvarna 390 and then 592
to bad they dont make jonsered any more.
i have a 2172 love mine
Great saws!
I've a ported 371xp, she's a beauty!
Be carefull. Keep it clean. Keep it sharp. Dont tune carb to high.
Ktm is the best here in the racing world lol
Yapyapyap
Ha ha ha that’s right lol.
Husqvarna 395xp is the best ever made
I would think a 395xp would be too big for the best saw ever award, but that's just me. Never ran one. I bet they are power houses.
@@novicelumberjack i dont know. I havent seen a 372 in person but they sure look similar in size
@@jaimecornejo2185 372 much smaller
She cuts
That was horrible ripping
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH 🤦🏽♂️
You're welcome!
Since they don't make that saw anymore my dream saw is a Makita
