272 vs 272xp

[BUDDY G]

what's the difference in these two saws?

XP® stands for “Extra Performance.” Compared to the Husqvarna Professional series, XP® chainsaws are designed with more horsepower, a better power-to-weight ratio, faster acceleration, higher maximum rotations per minute (RPM) and a special power band optimized for skilled users.

There is no such thing as a non XP 272.

X means closed, P stands for Port…maybe.

A 272 is a 272 whether xp labeled or not.
They are 52mm closed port
Some had decompression buttons some did not.
The 268 could be had in closed or open port cylinders
Over time I've had many 272s with 268 or even 266 cylinders with the 266 intake tract
Where people had swapped them out
Over time.
