The design of the model has implemented many technical innovations. First of all, it is:
- convenient centrifugal air cleaner for maintenance;
- variable displacement oil pump;
- The original solution to the chain tensioner;
- ergonomic shape of handles and controls.
Appointment
The scope of this model extends to the harvesting of timber, professional felling of large-diameter trees, the implementation of volumetric work on the transverse and longitudinal sawing of commercial soft and hardwood.
This is facilitated by the modern characteristics of the instrument, innovations and original technical solutions embedded in its design. The operator’s comfort is enhanced by the use of an effective vibration damper and a reduction in production noise to 103 dB and excellent balance.
Design features and maintainability
The Husqvarna 372 XP saw differs from similar models of other brands in a combination of modern design, simple and low-cost service time, high productivity, cost-effectiveness and affordable cost.
Maintainability of this model contributes to a simple device, reasonable price of consumables. Spare parts are presented in a fairly wide range, which allows to eliminate the malfunction or to perform a full repair of the tool with high quality and in a short time.
When the saw is working away from the service department, experienced sawyers practice setting up, adjusting and making rather complicated DIY repairs.
For private owners of a professional chainsaw, the instruction manual included in the kit will be an assistant in preparing the tool for operation, maintenance and troubleshooting.
How to distinguish an original from a fake?
Many branded chainsaws, including the Husqvarna brand, are being copied with greater or lesser success by small Asian companies.
It is quite simple to distinguish the original from the counterfeit on its own, even in appearance. The Chinese fake differs from the base model in the absence of a branded metal nameplate with a serial number, a distorted spelling of the logo, and the absence of paintwork on the back of the case.
Specifications
The tool weighs 6.1 kg and is characterized by compact overall dimensions, simplified access to tuning points and filling necks.
The saw is equipped with a carburetor push-pull ICE, working on a mixture of high-octane gasoline and motor oil in a ratio of 50: 1. The power unit with a volume of 70.7 cm3 develops a power of 3.9 kW in operating mode.
The advantages of the engine:
- throttle response and stability at all operating and idle modes;
- flexible traction characteristics;
- economical fuel consumption within 1.9 l / h;
- increased stock of torque;
- easy start system;
- the ability to operate for a long time in operation without loss of labor time for cooling.
Autonomous operation of the saw provides a fuel reserve in the inner tank with a volume of 771 ml.
Working equipment
The headset consists of an 18 inch guide rail, a standard H42 brand cutting chain in 3/8 inch increments, and a side tensioner. The universal design of the connecting unit allows the installation of alternative sets of tire-chain lengths from 38 to 70 cm.
The chain is lubricated and cooled automatically. A variable displacement pump draws oil from the internal reservoir and delivers it in an amount of 4 to 20 ml / min to the working area.
Safety is provided by an emergency inertial brake, which instantly blocks the movement of the circuit in the event of an unusual situation. If there is a driven sprocket in the tire, its bearing is lubricated separately, every 7-8 hours.

- a small amount of ongoing maintenance work;
- interchangeability of standardized parts, kits and consumables of other manufacturers;
- high level of safety when performing felling and sawing operations of increased complexity.
Significant shortcomings for the entire period of use of this model was not found. The main complaints relate to the lack of a primer pump and carburetor heating system, visual control of the fuel level and chain oil.
The Husqvarna 372 XP model is sold at a cost of 33,000 rubles. For a short time, a more advanced version of the Husqvarna 372 XP X-Torq was produced in parallel, with an average cost of 41,000 rubles. The mass production of this version was stopped for several reasons.
There are few offers on the market of used equipment for the sale of chainsaws of both models, used category. at a cost of 20,000 rubles.
Analogs
In the domestic market of professional chainsaw equipment, Husqvarna brand products successfully compete with identical performance models of leading manufacturers. Oleo-Mac 962-18, STIHL MS 361-18 and ECHO CS-620SX or Stihl ms 660, the price of which is about 50,000.
Owner reviews
In Canada, I had to work with different brands of professional-grade chainsaws. For me personally, all Husqvarna models are in good standing. Powerful engines, moderate weight, trouble-free starting and stable engine operation regardless of weather and temperature changes. I should note that abroad saws of the same brand and model differ from our supplies in the best quality of materials and the perfection of the factory assembly.

Decommissioned by Husqvarn of the 372 XP model I bought for a song, but I had to invest heavily on the restoration. Costs gradually, but surely pay off, for such an apparatus work is found in both winter and summer. I do a small business on felling old trees, in the absence of the main work I agree to sawing fuel wood. For pruning branches, I hold a lighter and more convenient Chinese-style delimbers, but the main work is done with a professional tool.

The indestructible saw. It works flawlessly. It always starts up well, regardless of the time of year. Unpretentious. I use the seventh year. I drink a lot.
I work with this unit on a professional level and here’s what I have to say. Apparatus 2012 onwards with the X-TORQ engine. don’t be afraid of it. His exhaust is really much less. Imagine a situation. morning, calm weather and make a sawed up thick tree in a marshland surrounded by tall and dense grass. When the 365th performed this operation, often had to give up this business because of the inability to breathe. On the 372nd there is none. When I took it in 2017, I thought that because of the downtime on the counter, the oil seals dried up. but nothing like that. The first two days, as expected, did not give a full load. And then the adjustment and the load is one hundred percent. As soon as I switched from 365th to 372nd, I immediately noticed a difference in power. this gave more performance. Many write that the saw is heavy. This is not a problem. two weeks of work and you will get used to it. Saw really fire. In less than two years, he sawed more than 7000 cubic meters of wood, while my colleagues in the 365s did not saw even 6000 so that they would not fly bearings or crankshaft. The crankshaft in this saw is really very good. Now about the problems that I encountered on the 372nd. 1. The bureaucrat is out of order. replaced under warranty. 2. The pipe between the bureaucrat and the cylinder is wiped. 3. The cover of the gas cable was rubbed. 4. He ruined the piston. a piece of soot fell off in the outlet window (this is already after 7000 cubic meters of operating time due to the use of cheap oil) 5. Crankshaft bearings were covered. most likely natural wear (well, cheap oil helped). At the same time, the crankshaft itself is still in good condition. 6. Natural starter wear. 7. Replaced only one shock absorber. Now some tips for the owners to drink. 1. Use only original oils for gasoline. 2. Keep the air filter clean (I wash it once a week and this is enough, but if it is very dirty then more often) 3. periodically clean the candle from carbon deposits. 4.Clean the intercostal space of the cylinder. 5. If you use non-original oil for gasoline. add it 30-35g. for 1l. gasoline. No more. the danger of carbon deposits. 6. On a new saw, tighten all threaded connections. but without fanaticism. If there is a choice. 365th or 372nd. take the 372nd, overpay a little, but you will earn more and save on repairs. TESTED!
……… burned 20 liters of Husky benzyl 372 = took a new official = 3 ignition coils burned down. (experience using Husqvarna = 20 years. Husky 254. and now like a clock.) repairable. BUT. in order to replace the fuel hose, you need to disassemble half a saw. QUALITY. the outflow of plastic is normal. the plastic is reliable. but the snot is not bitten off. MOSHCHA. Nemeryannaya. EATING. immeasurably. WEIGHT. not for weaklings. Saw not for home. for that kind of money. and more =. THE MILES FOR THE MUFFLER’S BOLTS ARE ATTACK. AND. RETURNS BY FIRE SPARKS. VERY FIRE DANGEROUS. :
