A Tale of Three Saws

[Outlaw5.0]

Considering the price, the 390xp the real deal.

You can hear in the 390's tone that it doesn't have the grunt of the 660. Replace the 390 with a 395 and watch the tables turn. All of them ran good though. Good comparison!

Great video, the 660 just sounds stronger than the other two saws.

I had to go back and watch for a couple of times cause initially I didn't notice any difference and don't think the 390 is doing it any harder. With the second cuts, the 390 actually cut quicker than the 660.

Those 5pt. pro-safety dogs aren't worth the money you pay for them. They bite way too hard, worthless for any falling work.

If you can't run with the big dawgs, stay on the porch. :monkey:

Sorry, had to.

I agree, they look too big, but they might work good. I'd at least give em a try.

I like that makita all tricked out in the black. Would like to be the proud owner of that saw.

awesome comparisons!!! I have enjoyed this thread to the fullest!!!!!

Buy a 7900. If you need anything bigger get a 084/880 or a 3120.

Or better yet, just get them all then you can decide!

Stock no doubt about they are a little bit stronger, but with the HD filter kit the 7900 is hard to beat.

It only took 400 posts to get someone to say 681. Just kidding. There is always saws that someone will want in these comparisons. I would have liked to see a 395 or maybe the 372 he just did for kicks also.

I almost ran my 372 but we simply ran out of daylight and time, I honestly think the chain speed of the 372 with a 7 pin would be close to the other saws. The 372 is a strong saw, but it simply doesn't have the low end of the other saws to run an 8 pin in this size and type of wood.

 

[mdavlee]

Yeah I don't think any of the 70cc saws besides a 7900 really have the grunt to pull a 8 pin with any bar over 24" in my heavy hands.

calling a 7900 a 70cc saw is like saying a 390 is an 80cc saw

Technically he is correct and technically you are correct with the 390XP But I know what you mean. Upper 70cc maybe for the 7900?

Well it is a 79cc saw I don't know what else you could call it besides a 70cc class saw.

If you have 79.00 dollars and what your trying to buy costs 80.00 at the end of the day you still only have 79.00 dollars...same concept, if it isn't 80+cc it isn't a 80cc saw

Yeah it's closer to the 372xpw and 460 stihl than it is a 385 or ms650 is why I call it a 70cc saw. The 390 is sort of a 90cc saw. It's all relative I guess.

 

[rms61moparman]

I usually call it an 80cc, since it is at the top of the 70cc class and runs like a 90.

Call it what you want, it is still one heck of a saw!
Especially some of the more "Infamous" ones!
