My brand new 395xp

[motolife313-2]

Never ran one. Got it for a pretty good deal local and asked if they could toss in a chain and they did. Came with 32” bar. I will probably break it in on some firewood. It’s going to be fun to see the difference between this husky and my stihl 660. I’ll run them back to back after a few tanks through the husky so it can break in first and gain some power. 1420$ out the door going to run stihl ultra oil in in like all my other saws and my 3120

Nice. Just keep an eye on the bolts after break in. They tend to loosen up.

 

[motolife313-2]

Ya I seen a guy on YouTube say blue lock tight all the bolts. Any other things to watch for?

The 395 was $1420?

 

[motolife313-2]

Yes at a local dealer with bar and chain. Seems pretty good from what I’ve found. 105 link husky chain was probably 50$ that I got for free. They let me use my own fuel which was nice. Ran really good right off the bad. No hiccups or bog at all. I was impressed

 

[Bill G]

If you are happy with the dealer that is what matters

 

[motolife313-2]

What are they goin for in your area? About the only husky dealer around me.

I did have to since I didn’t log on in a while I think it made me re join. Maybe lost my password or it didn’t like my old email. Not sure. The 3120 is still running good tho, milled some apple last April or may with it

 

[motolife313-2]

There was some rot in the apple I had to cut off, the bottom pics I actually noodled them since they were sort and cut fit in between my mill much faster that way

I've never seen an apple tree that big. There used to be some pretty large old ones on my great grandparents farm but not close to that size. Very impressive...maybe it's just what I see here on the east coast.

Congrats on the purchase. My manual said to run 10 tanks of fuel through it before goin WOT. Did not take long to go through that much fuel - they’re thirsty and lots to cut. I’ve read that for saws sold overseas Husky recommends 32:1 mix, which is what I run. Only here in US do they say use 50:1. The Husky chain was really good, but went to Stihl yellow tagged after that one. Good bar length too, wish I’d have gotten the 32”.

Holy crap! That's an "apple" tree? Must have been a seed Lewis and Clark left in 1803!

Did it produce good apples? A shame to see one that big taken down, I would have saved some shoots for grafts. Do you have a picture of the intact tree?

Nice wood!

Back to topic, let us know how the 395 works out in comparison to the 660 and 3120. Love to see the slab pictures too.
