Well if its been owned by Covey Tree I am gonna try to get em for next to nothing lol.

[bustedup]

Randy... we salute you sir lol.

I'd find out if the 394 is a runner. You're a big boy, 25lbs of nasty-ass saw shouldn't bother you none. 288 is a classic, but my 385 is close in terms of weight and power. Next week I should get my masterminded 394. I'll bet that ##### will pull the 42" through oak like the 385 pulls the 28"

I don't wanna sound like a misery guts but ..........guys learn to use a saw and be accurate with one before ya go running big bars.

 

[treeslayer2003]

hello randy. cat turn on the ac man. i'm with busted on this, the 288 was a much better saw than a 385 in stock form. 394 was a bad ass saw. prolly better than a new 395 but I don't know for sure as I ain't run a new one.

 

[bustedup]

I guess the question folks need to ask themselves is .......why do they want a big saw and bar??? .....is it a "need" or a "want" .........I know I got a few bigger saws but I actually did need them .....however ifn I got the choice I'll pack a 372 way before the bigger ones.


I guess I do sound like a misery guts lol

no, I agree with ya. why do ya think i'm always runnin my 461 instead of the 660. going to have the 660 masterminded but only cuz its worn out and I do need it once in a while.

I'm not serious. The longest bar I have is 32" right now. That should be able to cut anything that's laying on the ground right now. The biggest log that's down waiting to be bucked is around 50".
