I run both just depends on what im doin.. FYI they are still makin 372xt i got new one 4 weeks ago 2020 cases its on my channel if u want to see it for yourself
@@Sensei948 Stock the OE definitely has an edge in performance. Equally modded they’re very close in my experience. The OE seems to hold power a little higher in rpm but in the working world I doubt it would be very noticeable. When I modded my XT top end it ran neck and neck with my brothers modded 75cc XPW. Both versions are great saws imo
Great video, like you I love the old 2 series saws, I've had my 268 since I bought it new back in the late 80's, just acquired a 254xpg, and a 262xp..how many saws does a guy need.. Maybe another 2 I think.. 😉👍
Great video, you have a respectable collection of husvarna. Sadly, these old types are not sold in the US or in the EU. I found on the official website of husqvarna in Chile types like 272xp, 346xp, 357xp, 288xp still on sale.

Thank you very much. I really have to have my 262 so mega aggressive 😀 Have a nice evening. Sorry if there are spelling mistakes I come from Germany and have to do that with a translation program
That’s tough, those are both great saws. Between those 2 I would keep the 357 only because 262 parts are getting scarce. But if I had to keep just one out of this entire group it would be the 372. Good power for felling duty with up to 28” bar, but also not so heavy that it would wear me out if bucking firewood all day. 70cc class saws are the most versatile size saws across all brands imho.
@@xpslinger8171 Thanks for the answer! I hesitate between a 562 and a 572 for my next saw. But I was thinking that a 70cc was kind of overkill for 20 cords of hard wood and couple thousands feet of softwood a year. Guess I'll have to try before I buy, you changed my perspective. (Sorry for the bad english, its not my native language)
Sensei948 No sir, I run 40:1 oil ratio in my saws. The ridiculous oil cloud on most of these is because of the long idle time while setting up for the video. My 262 and 272 were also tuned too rich at the time.
Sensei948 My apologies, I thought you were asking what the compression was on my saw lol. 140psi is ok but the rings are worn. If you get down to 135psi I would put new rings in it. New rings should bring it up to about 150psi.
That was pretty cool. Ive always been more of a stihl fan, but recently picked up a 268xp and I'm super impressed.
I used to scoff at older saws. Now I love the old 2-series, just something about them. Glad you enjoyed the video

@@indianafirewood7958 Yup I heard they’re back. Funny how the 372 just wont stay gone lol. Icon

Husqvarna is still selling their 272 to Africa last time I checked

Merci pour ce comparatif !
Super de voir la gamme aussi étoffée en fonctionnement avec une démonstration direct.
Je compte m'acheter une 288xp !
Sounds great brother! I did that with some Stihls a while back!
PA Dan thanks buddy
Great video nvr seen that many saws run against each other.. they are all great saws
Thanks man. I like them all for different reasons.
I have a similar collection. Great group of saws
Thanks🍻
The symphony of destruction.
Good tune
Super (288 xp).
372xp super 11111
Hey great videos you make. What did you do with the 262? I have one too, but not nearly as aggressive as yours. Hammer the device of yours
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. My 262 is ported by a friend, MOFO work saws. He builds an angry 262.
Thank you for the fast answer. Has the exhaust been emptied? Or did someone else think of it? .
@@db6053 yes I did a muffler mod and timing advance when I got the cylinder

@@db6053 No apologies necessary my friend, it’s been fun chatting with you.🍻
So bad ass my favo
If you had to keep only 1, wich one would it be? My pick is either the 262 or 357.

@@willisbruce4044 We certainly live in a good time for chainsaw options. No apologies necessary for your English, you’re doing just fine my friend.
Chool lendarias 268 372 288 ,. Bom video husqvarna fann,.
Where did you get that full wrap handle for the 268. Been looking
Mine is a 268W model so it was factory installed. They are very hard to find, if I come across one I’ll post it here.
I took the 372xp wrap handle split it n cut piece off the end use that as ur spacer have to drill new whole for it but works just fine
Oki mix 33:1?
Sensei948 No sir, I run 40:1 oil ratio in my saws. The ridiculous oil cloud on most of these is because of the long idle time while setting up for the video. My 262 and 272 were also tuned too rich at the time.
372xp compresion 140 psi ?
Sensei948 Greetings. No sir, I deleted the base gasket, compression is at 175psi. Saw is still breaking in.
@@xpslinger8171 Tell me, is 140 psi still good compression for 372xp without x-torqe?
Sensei948 My apologies, I thought you were asking what the compression was on my saw lol. 140psi is ok but the rings are worn. If you get down to 135psi I would put new rings in it. New rings should bring it up to about 150psi.
@@xpslinger8171 So should the factory parameters still hold power?
Sensei948 You should still have pretty good power with compression at 140psi
