How's my tune?
Always a touch more in it but meh. Be good to it

I’ve considered it many times. Honestly I’d be more interested in tracking down an Echo 1201.Would ya bother carting around a 3120 or will a 395 do it just well enough? Just how far will a stock 395 go?
no, not unless I had to, the weight alone vs speed just isn't there if you don't need a big bar. Truthfully I don't like felling with my 395xp, my 390xp pulls a 36" nearly as well and is much more nimble in the hands. Didn't care for felling with the 084av for the same reason. Most big trees I deal with the 36" will take care of single pass, at most have a little left over for a double pass. I'd love to have a 3120xp but it would be a shelf queen for 99%of its life. (Actually I'd like to have my old 084 back, but it didn't get used much so my cousin got it.)Would ya bother carting around a 3120 or will a 395 do it just well enough?

Local guy I take care of his 94's 95's told me he will run those up to a 42" most times. 42 over he get out the Jason Egan ported 3120.Would ya bother carting around a 3120 or will a 395 do it just well enough? Just how far will a stock 395 go?
I'm a Stihl guy by trade. But, I have worked on several 395's and 394's and they will run with any MS660 or MS661.no, not unless I had to, the weight alone vs speed just isn't there if you don't need a big bar.

That's probably a little rough.I'm a Stihl guy by trade. But, I have worked on several 395's and 394's and they will run with any MS660 or MS661.
So, I think the OP is a moron. You just need to figure out why ?

You are right.Rather harsh
In clearing jobs like the one I’m on, I’ll use the 395 for just about any stump that is more than 20 inches or so. Yesterday I flush cut 8 stumps that were about 3 foot and that is where that saw is much needed. Like you, I also noodle big rounds if there’s no grapple. It’s an ugly saw for ugly work. On anything requiring a 3 foot bar or more, they are pretty quick against anything in their weight class or smaller.I got an old 298 I gave don.t remember how much. At the time 25 years ago was thinking the 298 is getting old and should up date. I bought a used 394 on Ebay. I think 300 hundred bucks. I got it DOA a little upset. To start I never seen a fuel tank with so much dirt. I bought original parts piston cylinder bearing seals. Was in deep money wise. Could have bought a new one and learn nothing. I never touch the 298 for repairs. How the rubber parts survived is crazy no gas line carb parts? Any 2 series just run. I use the 394 as a wood splitter in hardwood very robust. Run a 404 chesil chain about 107 drive links. A 395 that does not rocket through wood has a problem.
