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

[Mastermind]

I agree. Not even close. A little tinkering, perhaps?

That saw should be on James Bond's Aston Martin.

I've heard of Grinderswitch......

I still say a 390xp is more than capable, but if I was you I would ad more saws whenever funds allow, not just CAD that's just smart:cool2: Alway's a good investment I don't just collect them, and look at them, neither do you we use em!

 

[booger1286]

I have a good idea. I will send you my 395 , you can port it and try it out on a couple of stumps before you send it back.

Then you will know if its worth buying.

I kind of figured a few of the gentleman from the south in this forum would have. Back in the 70's those southern R&R bands were HUGE in the metro New York City area. We still love your music.

Of course, now I watch Youtube videos of you all cookie cutting, regardless of origin and that is also music to my ears. :msp_smile:

I missed seeing Duane Allman.....but not by much. I've seen Greg though......and ####y Betts.

 

[dboyd351]

Yeah, too bad Duane ate a peach.

I just added a poll. I can get a new 395 for about the same price as a new 660. Or, I can get a MINT, late model 066 for about $300 less. Money isn't a big option, since I'm selling a couple others to pay for it.

 

[Chris J.]

Don't ask,,,, I could say something really ugly but I won't!!!

Who are you, and how did you get RiverRat2's password?

 

[jhellwig]

To bad there isn't a better option other than stihl or husky. If I had the choice I would go with the johnsored version of the 395 cause johnsoreds look cool.

 

[mitch95100]

I wish they made a 95cc Dolmar model today!
But id settle with the 395xp seeing as though that hits the specs your looking for right on the head

An updated 9010 with similar anti-vibe to the 7900, the Efco 999 carburetor, 2mm longer stroke,
unlimited ignition, and six transfer ports would be really cool...

 

[tommyus4]

Side by side comparo. Gain some knowledge and some customers from both camps. Of course, it would be a civil war with more popcorn than you can shake a stick at.:hmm3grin2orange:

So, what are you selling that starts with a 4 ? :msp_sneaky:

Don't even think about trying to get my 440/460 hybrid, lol. I'm rebuilding a MS460 with a bad crank bearing.

 

[Adam_MA]

I voted 660, but if you have that good of a deal on a mint 066, I'd go with that. That being said, I have an 066 and have had the opportunity to use it for cutting more than a few stumps. I have also used a 395 on a couple of occasions. To say the 395 handled like an anvil would be kind of me. It's clunky handling at best, and other than having much better anti-vibe, that's the best thing I could say for it.

There is a post a couple of pages back from someone who actually does stump work, and had some great reasoning in his post. It'd be worth looking back to read it.

 

[Trx250r180]

i have a 660 ,but am curious how the tourque is on the husky compared to it ,it seems like most of the loggers around here prefer the 660 saying the huskys weigh too much

If the specs Bard submitted are correct, it must be a balence thing, because there was only one pound of difference between the 2 saws in the specs Brad posted - less than 10% weight difference.

 

[mdavlee]

The 395 might weigh more but with a 36" regular bar its not as nose heavy as a 660. The extra weight there isn't as tiring as the balance is to me. I never really noticed much difference in handling with the larger saws. The 390, 066, 394/5 are all heavy and don't handle like 50 cc saw. If you use them a lot then you get used to it.

 

[Trx250r180]

is this saw gonna wear a 36 inch stihl light bar ?

 

[blsnelling]

It very well might, lol.

 

[rms61moparman]

Are you gonna get another lightweight bar?
