    Excited to see that vid mdavlee

    Tree crew I work for has a couple 372 ground saws and a 441 that gets taken up the big trees to pieces down the trunk when the 201 isn't cutting it. I like running the 441 better. Although as a disclaimer, this is unscientific and the 372 gets ragged on by us ground crew more than the 441, so it's probably in worse shape :rofl: :lol:

    It will be a week or two before I get to porting my own stuff. I've got 3 saws here that's ahead of mine.

    Yeah I'm going to be gone 2 days this week coming up. I need to get one saw ready to ship by then.

    One of those is my 372. My 046 is ported I just need to do the machine work now. I'm waiting on a different indicator to line it up easier. I have to make a 50mm mandrel still.

    I've done a lot of it today and yesterday myself. We canned 10 quarts and 11 pints of pasta sauce yesterday. Today I was washing work clothes for a few days out of town. I did get a saw disassembled and ready to cut the chamber on though.

    Nicely done! Canning food and working on saws! All in a days work. I was joking of course but we can a lot of food too.

    Both fine saws. I would & did take the Husky over the Stihl in that engine size. I missed my 371 & the 372 was even better.
