What saw would YOU buy for stumping with a 36" bar?

[MacLaren]

Paul, you ain't kidding. You guys would **** yourself for what it cost around here for new saws!!!

I hear ya Will. It would prolly be a good thing for me though. Make me stick with one and not 5 lol. Course ya know how CAD is.......

My local Stihl dealer is also a Husky dealer, but they don't stock anything Husky. He gave me a price of $1100 with a 36" bar, and couldn't get it PHO. I wanted to buy from him, but just couldn't for that price difference.

Your really gonna love that 395 Brad.

 

[parrisw]

Probably around $850 here.

Nice. I haven't looked at a 395 in a while. I usually just drool on them. I'm stuck buying clapped out saws and rebuilding.

Just drive south of ya down into Washington State and you could get a better price

I know, but it ain't exactly just a drive, I need a ferry ride first!

I hear ya Will. It would prolly be a good thing for me though. Make me stick with one and not 5 lol. Course ya know how CAD is.......

True enough.

Kinda impractical for me to buy new saws anyway.

IMHO when porting a 395 don't raise the transfers, they benefit from machine work to get the blowdown # up.

 

[little possum]

I feel like a proud father. Cept not really, cause Im younger than you geezers. Nobody would believe me that Huskys were better...:msp_thumbsup:

Glad you guys are finally learning!

Yep, the 395 has much shorter blow down time than the 394 did. Even on the 394 I don't go crazy with the upper transfers.

 

[Mastermind]

I have a set of numbers for the 395 that seem to work really well.

I could port that saw for ya B-Rad........I like working on new saws.

They're not real Poulans you liar. Poulans are all plastic and rainbow coloured.

 

[tdi-rick]

List on one with a 36" bar is $1259. I got mine PHO for $875. You can't beat a deal like that. This dealers in tight with Husqvarna. They're part of the Paul Bunyan show here in Ohio. A new 660 from my Stihl dealer was going to be $1K.

Geez Louise, a 395 is just under the A$2000 mark here

Isn't that every saw from every manufacturer now days???

Not that I'm complaining mind you. It's a fact that the right plastic will take more of a beating and not break than the metals that saws are made of. It's stronger and lighter than most metal and doesn't corrode.
Yes I know that there are places for plastic and places for metal but I LIKE light saws!!!
