This was a video I did way back in 2019 when I was doing chainsaw repair both for a dealer and a few loggers. The backdrop is I would test build concepts before selling them as a "product" to the local community. I had a couple of loggers who would run my R&D saw builds for durability testing. Two of the 372 builds in this video were from the test program, a 372 X-Torq built with a 51,.4 top end and a 372 built on aftermarket farmertec cases. One lived, one died :) And a high hour early version of the 372 X-Torq. It was a 2013 version with 6 years of logger time on a no base gasket build. ALL three "research" saws. So this was a day of 372 saw analysis & tear downs and one of the MANY such events that formed my opinion of the 372 X-Torq's I have today. Experiences are a wonderful thing & my goal was to share the raw empirical data with those following the channel at the time. So many are re-inventing this wheel and re-learning these same lessons the hard way :)

 
Wow, that’s some serious hands-on research! I love seeing the real-world testing that goes into those builds, it definitely adds context that no spec sheet can match
 
That kind of long-term testing is hard to beat. Real-world logger use tends to reveal weaknesses pretty quickly and there's a lot of value in documenting both the successes and failures so others don't have to learn the same lessons from scratch.
 
Interesting case study, those kinds of long-term teardown comparisons are where you learn the most about real durability. Especially with mixed builds like OEM vs aftermarket cases, the failure patterns usually tell the real story.
