Even though the brand new 572 beat a 20 year old 372, you can't beat a 372 for an all around saw, and a 395 for a bigger saw. Husqvarna 372 XP best saw ever made.
As an all round general purpose falling saw u might be right. But in big timber, a short bared,,like I run mine, I think the 395 xp is the finest felling saw ever made
Great video. Have cut trees with chainsaws and have cut one with a crosscut saw. Them guys that did it with a crosscut had to be something else to do that all day long. I have never cut trees for a living just around the house. Cut the one with the crosscut with my mother in law on the other end of the saw. She was the only other one there that knew how to make it work. Stay safe and God bless you'll.
I got 34 sec. on the 372 and 29 sec. on 572. Not bad for a 20 year old saw! But I may be bias😏. I’m a 372 xp man. They’re the best saws I’ve ever had in my hands. Great video, thank you sir.
@@tomkay-bradley3001 I agree. He simply won't admit that 20 years matters. I bet the 572 is dead in half that time. Do I think a new 372 will smoke a new 572? No. I've already seen the outcome. I will say it's a hell of a lot closer than what you see here. A couple seconds diffence over what he has shown here. He has to push his new saw he was gifted partly also.
I have a 1999 372XP and this saw has never given me issues other than they leak bar oil when they sit. The saw has unbelievable power and very reliable. I would never replace it with a new model considering how much that 572 costs.
As a southernSon who now lives in the Midwest, your accent and your way of speaking makes me smile ear to ear and cheer for you! Good on ya! All the best and great success to you sir
Once you get start getting your saws woods ported you will wonder why you never did it sooner. No down sides, just WAY more power. My 550XP autotune saws gained a ton of power just from putting "proper" gutted mufflers on them.
They all cut. Well. All depends how much $ you want to spend. For a saw to cut a few seconds faster. I am sure you could sharpen that chain. To the point that the saw would have a tough time.
One is brand new and one is 18 years old. Is there a significant technicalogical improvement over the years? What is the difference in cost? What is the difference in maintenance? Do you prefer the operation of one over the other? Since you already own the 372xp, would you "upgrade" to the 572xp if you had to spend your own money? Great video. As ever, you pay attention to the details and make them great to watch.
The 572 is an evolution of the 372 so it's about 200-300 more. Is it more dependable and easy to work on,no way to tell too new. Can't even, get it state side yet. The old 372 pre auto tune is nice and reliable and the average person can work on it without bringing it to the shop.
Is it really worth switching? I might get my money back? I'm just cutting firewood for myself. 10 cord for me. I will sell a little if one begs me. I gonna get a 572.
I run a newer 576 and an older modded 372. The 576 feels lighter (never weighed them) and like it’s got a bit more snort. I just hope the 576 holds up as strong as my trusty old 372 has. I’m hoping Husky continues to develop new saws, particularly a 5 series version of the 395. I would be first in line.
Good stuff man, had a great big what we call here in VA a ironwood tree blow down from neighbors yard into my yard in October of last year when Michael came thru here, tree was 40" at stump, limbed it with a Stihl pole saw, cut limbs with a echo 280e large limbs with a Stihl 391 and trunk with Stihl 660 with 28" bar, this was alot of work for an old man. Really enjoy your videos and can relate to what you do. Keep up the great work. 👍
Got asked to get some saws running for a tree company once purposely put chains on backwards just as a test to see if people pay attention and heard a guy tried to cut with one wouldnt cut so tried to sharpen the bachside of the chain
Nice looking wood, excellent comparison. I would say if the 572 lasts as good as the old saw you will have a new favorite. Tim i have five of you guys that i watch every day. You, Jason (Hollis Farms ) Wes(OLF), Chris(Lets dig 18) and Wade ( Logger Wade). All great channels and all good people. Thanks
I love my 372xp, but am really looking forward to the 500i that Stihl is coming ot with, I'm thinking that'll be my mid size saw replacement when the time comes... I'm not brand loyal.
Thank you for putting your time into these videos. Inspiring and educational. Look around people so many things we use and own are made of wood. Thanks to guys like this.
I can tell you like the 572 better. It went from a comparison video to a 572 video. Lol. The 372 only got one cut but still cool video thanks for sharing.
Get the highest octane non ethanol gas u can find and mix the Husqvarna synthetic oil mix. If ur just going to run the saw occasionally, Run the premix stuff.
@@cotontop3 Is 50:1 sufficient? I’ve been reading forums the last few days and there are several posts saying the x-torqs should be run at 40:1 or even 32:1. I’m probably way over thinking this, but that’s the most money I’ve ever spent on a saw and don’t want to burn it up.

If i had the choice of buying only one saw (for cutting big timber), i'd go with the Husqvarna 372xp. It's reliable and it has alot of fans all over the world (alot of punch and power for it's size and weight). Sorry, but the new generation has too much electronics in it. ... Greetings from Canada !
I have a 372 xp I have two bars for it a 24 inch and a 28 inch. With a new or sharp chain it can really get the job done . Cut many large hard woods with it hickory , white oak, red oak here in central Ky. Always have to refuel after felling and bucking a large tree and sometimes before. Great saw..
I have never really liked these types of comparisons. Old saw vs new saw, literally. To many variables. U should probably at least show a compression check before. The 372 could be tired for all anybody knows.
I'm a Husky guy, however, all the 4 series saws are to be avoided, absolute crap. Unless you're pro, see if you can grab a good used 350 or 365. The 365 will run you more money but it's an ANIMAL of a saw. I haven't tried any of the 5 series saws, they look to be great but when they fail they'll be too technical for most non pros to fix, and they're expensive. Any good used 3 series is where it's at.
Hey Tim I have a question for you. I’ve heard different mix ratios for the 372 like 40:1 or is 50:1 what should be used because I’ve heard the 372xp has a week bottom end needing heavier mix rate. I know you run these saws constantly and would like to know what mix ratio you use? I’m asking this question because I just bought a new 372xp for a awesome price and want it to last. Thank you Tim.
That’s what I thought but reading about the 372s on one forester forums was reading a topic about 372 problems and mix ratios. But I knew you ran theses for years and see you run them like they should. So that’s why I asked. Thank you for the reply as always. Love the channel.
nice video comparison bud,,, US. Army vet here and a lover of timber myself, one day i want to land one of them 395xp, but being a disabled vet, might be a while before i can ever afford one, id like to start slabbing word and working with slabs, so if ya see a 359xp sitting around not being used, send it my way lolol , but i enjoyed watching what the 572 and 372 can do. thanks my friend.

That´s one of the better ways to end up with a lot of sawdust in your garage...
Thx for video. My 372 was stolen last week made me sick.
I have the 550mark2 with a nicely done muffler mod and its a screamer. Hopefully i can get the 572 next . Best saws everade in my opinion
That was quite the shop class in chainsaws Tim !! Awesome video, those disks will make great little tables !! Keep em coming.
372xp and the ms460 magnum are 2 of the best saws ever made
Love the 572xp! Also that helmet is sweet man!!
Got asked to get some saws running for a tree company once purposely put chains on backwards just as a test to see if people pay attention and heard a guy tried to cut with one wouldnt cut so tried to sharpen the bachside of the chain
I do it to my buddies too when they ask me to touch the chains up or tune. Funny as hell sometimes.
if my saw maintenance guy wasted my time like that...syonara buddy...
You look like one of those fancy bike ridders I see on the road with all that git up you’re sportin’.
I cant believe he didn't raise the tip of the bar when tightening the bar.
All I did was take the paint off
I almost never do. I tend to do a lot of up cutting so it pulls it down.
always good, right on, George.
The 572 sounds a lot like a MS 462. I’m honestly torn between the MS 462 & 372xp. I can’t really decide. 🙇🏻♂️
You’ve got some fine euro-mounts in the background!
I have a 371xp. 20 years old and still strong. But I'm learning towards buying the 390 xp over the 572xp

Why did you adjust the chain tensioner again after using an impact driver on the bar nuts?... Pre game superstition?

Thanks Tim that new saw is a wood eater.
Been thinking about a 572, seems like everybody likes it.
572 is impressive great saw , just dont like the electronic stuff . Have a 7310 on order but love the 372xp too

great video Tim , seems like the 572xp pulls a little faster than the 372xp be safe and have a blessed day !
That 572 never gives up, i've yet to see him bog it down, even in that hickory!

The 572 will get better as it breaks in
Not sure what your grind on your chain is like. But it looks like you are pushing on your saw. The chain should be pulling it's own through the wood.
Nice . I did a job/ video with a 372. Xp. I restored. Love it.. I want the 572 now...I subscribed hope it helps.
Thank you.
Interesting way to “warm up” a saw 😬
All that trigger squeezing was making me cringe too!
Kinda asking for a cold seizer... in law warms his the same way
Thank you for putting your time into these videos. Inspiring and educational. Look around people so many things we use and own are made of wood. Thanks to guys like this.
what is the difference in 572xp and mark chainsaw?
I purchased a home owner Saw from northern tools and I had to fix the chain with I always get a full chisel
I see the 572 will be the go to saw I cant wait until I get to try one
Awesome ! Love the smell of cat piss in the morning 😂 Thanks Tim .
