390xp or 395xp ?

wim

I have some jobs to do were i need a big saw but i don now wich wone is e good sawe ? Have enyone of you guy's had some expirience with a 390xp,i have read that the 395xp is a good sawe.
I like to work with a 24" bar 3/8 chain en if its possible 30"bar (75cm).I like to now if the 390xp can handle a 30" bar easy i now from saying the 395xp can easely handle this.
Sorry for my english.

395xp for sure, great saw

SawTroll

Those who have a 390xp mostly report that it is a very good saw. I understand that it really shines in the anti-vibe department.

The 395 has more power, but it is a much older and heavier design. It has an outboard clutch and usually a front chain tensioner, but lots of people love it anyway!

Both should have no problem whatsoever with a 30" bar.

I run a 32" bar on a 385xp and it hardly slows down. I would imagine you won't have a problem with either choice.

We run both of these saws 395 has more power but the 390 is the new step up of the old 385.The 390 is lighter and well balanced, you will not have a p problem with any of these saw.

Hey Will, tell us more about that 262 prototype... Make up your own thread about it yeah?

How do you find it handles kickback? What I can see straight away is that your right arm is always going to be on the right hand side of the bar, therefore in the even of a major kickback it is likely that it is gunna cut your arm...

Done it

Nice shop, got an oil pump for a 280, in there.

William Greene

thanks for the reply,its a 262XPH made for the russian market.and the only place it's available.i got mine from a collector in norway.its brand new and never been run.it sure does look strange don't it ! it would be my opinion that its a different game cuttin' russian style if i ever run mine i'll take off the russian tank & handles and put on the regular set-up

if anybody wants one pm me & i'll see if my friend has any left.its expensive.
and that model was replaced by the 365XPH.which is what is available now.

William Greene

thank you! been "at it" a while,still not done

William Greene

here is what i have,its old and been here a long time.you do the research and if it "fit's" get back to me & it is yours!

JohN Dee

Ahh, so the handles arn't some new design there playing with but they're russian handles?

Very interesting... We run a 365 and its a bloody beaut'.

Done it

Wow, I was only kidding really, most people say "a what, you mean a 380!" I've only got a 380 parts list and the number is 501558201 but it looks like it, I'll check it out and get back to you. It was my first "real" saw and I still use it sometimes. It's done a lot of work and still starts easy & cuts well. Thanks.

I got a new 395xp last month. Seam in the fuel tank / handle leaked from brand new. Repaired under warranty. Done 2 to 4 hrs work, either no clutch needle roller or it destroyed it & damaged the oil pump worm gear, still in getting repaired, assumed as warranty. 4th husky, first one with problems.

Grizzly

totally. go all out with a stihl because if you going to do one job like this chances are your not going to make on cut with it let alone just do one job like this. MS660 or MS880 with the bigest bar you can get unless you climbing then roll up there with eiths a MS250 MS260 or a MS390. all good saw. I run a 250 and it has balls. Its never let me down out of al the other saws I've ever run.

The 262xph is old news, and a regular ol' 262xp adapted for a special Russian logging technique.

It was still on the website the last time I looked, but it may be replaced with a newer design based on the 365 by now, which means more weight and less power.....
