"Jungle muffler "Thanks for the pictures as well. I was wondering if it would have the "jungle" muffler on it.

It's a saw specifically made for US market so GTFOWelcome to the forum FM.
I've never seen a Brazilian 395, but there are many others models out of Brazil that have been good saws.
It surprises me that a dealer is selling them though, and they didn't say something up front.
Did you get a deal on it or was it at the normal cost.
We would like to see pictures of it as well, at least I would anyway.
Personally I wouldn't run it. I've haven't owned a 395(yet )but I've heard nothing of them being made in Brazil and I would expect to buy one made in Sweden myself. Usually the guys buy a saw in Brazil because it is no longer made here but they are still manufacturing and selling them there, the 288 is the main one I'm aware of, but if it's a current model here we have no need to get one from Brazil and I see no advantage unless is was a real bargain or you wanted to be different.
Do you think husky US will work on a Brazilian saw, I'm not sure they will.
Feel free to disagree, also take note that many of your own statements are not congruent with another.I see your point but don't agree with some of your statements You are obviously not into anything outside the US but for a county that imports the amount of Chinese kit your country does i cannot see your point. Where I amin the world a Husky dealer refusing to do warranty work on a Husky saw no matter where it was made or where it was purchased would find himself in bother from the head office & wouldn't remain a dealer for to long In fact it happened to a dealer some 10 miles away, from a husky dealer he's now an agent for some Chinese label There may have been other reasons but turning away Warranty was involved The worlds mechanicals unfortunately don't now end at the east/west shores of the US similar to the UK. In my before retirement job in the early years 1950/60's the machine tools used were of US manufacture near retirement Japanese units were used as they were better quality & cheaper price & after all you are buying a Swedish designed saw that I 'm pretty sure if it was All assembled in the US Which it probably was not I don't think all the components are US produced But at days end you are the one making the decision I hope you are happy with what ever you decide My take would be run it like you stole it & worry about the warranty if it "coughs" in my experience if it does it wiil be some 1to 2 month outside the warranty
I didn't coin it, or I would patent it, but wait that doesn't seem to stop others from copying peoples intellectual property so yea I said it first, it's my word, please make the royalty checks out to chipper1 @arboristsite.com."Jungle muffler "
Nice! That may catch on.
Better patent that saying before PILTZ uses it for marketing...lol
No pun but it just sounds bad azz!
It's hard to catch the rain forest on fire. you are more likely to drown or die in a slide.
It's a saw specifically made for US market so GTFO
Lol
How's things Brett?
A quote from a member in another chainsaw forum, June 2017.
" I am a member of the Husqvarna dealer council and I talked to one of the guys while at corporate in Charlotte several months ago and the next generation should be out in less than 2 years. Hoping for this year. 595xp will be sick. They will make the 395's and 372's for about a year alongside the new big 5 series saws. The remaining 395s are also being made in Brazil. Have sold 10 of the made in Brazil 395s so far 0 issues.
Sadly the 3120 may disappear in a number of years. Currently no plans for a 5 series 3120."
I agree.Not sure why Little Al has chosen to take this discussion off the rails and go political with a senseless anti-US rant. But that's something we've come to expect over here.
There are no reasons that dealers would not work on a saw from Brazil. It is shipped and warranted by Husky same as if it was assembled anywhere else. (and they cost the same as well) This is no different than some saws coming from the Tomos factory in Yugoslavia way back in the 80's.
As far as the mufflers go, the saw must come with the same set up for the US regardless of where it's made. Saws have different specifications for various markets around the world. The boxes have a "country code" on them and they will do a run of saws for this market or that and off they go.

I am sorry if I said anything that was racist or sounded racist, if you knew me you would know that I'm not, I have friends from all over the world .It's not an anti US rant. His point was we are so used to receiving products from all over the world here in Europe, that the reaction some U.S. members here had to a Brazilian saw is a bit confusing - especially the concern that the dealer would not warranty it since most Europeans are well aware Husky has a plant in Brasil. Saws from Brasil have been visiting Europe for quite some time. I have an old Brazilian Husky I picked up in the UK not long ago. Husky has had a Brazilian factory for a long while, and it is rather unlikely a Husqvarna dealer would be surprised to see one if they knew their stuff.
In other words, to a European, the thread started with a rather racist feel to it. But, with all the news we see about the states these days, I am not sure he should have been surprised

It just seems to me that buying a saw designed in Sweden should come from Sweden. But I'm sure if Husky, which I'm sure they are, are on top of the production in Brazil, all is well. But it still bothers me a bit.
Some Stihl saws come from Virginia Beach but for whatever reason that seems different.
I apologies if my post came across as a rant It was never intended the above states exactly my point i'm not spouting my gob off without knowledge of the US having been employed from 1960/77 by McDonnell Douglas & Lockheed ,8 years at the Skunk works on rectification on the SR71 "Blackbird" the attitude of years back tended in some cases to if it"s not made in the US it's not as good. i thought with all the imports of various kit that have proved equal if not better than a US product & in some cases the US now don't produce that product any more it would be viewed like we do with a CE marked product here in France on Performance/Reliability rather than country of Manufacture/Assembly is still in some cases still around & to the OP we have a total of 10 Husky saws for our Fallers 2 of which are non Swedish assembly & both have performed equal to the Swedish ones In fact better than 1It's not an anti US rant.

Wow! He plays the race card!
Well if that's truly the case, then the problem resides in Europe, not with this thread.
I mean really, racist? Nazis/Fascists next maybe? What are you guys gonna do when you run out of labels for people you disagree with? How about Romulans and Klingons?
