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

[cat-face timber]

This may be a little small for what you are looking for, but

how about a Husky 385XP, port it and you should be good to go.
Unlimited coil?

I like the 36" stihl light bar on the 3120. It makes it so light and nimble I can use it all day limbing

Not really. It's a great bar but doesn't work miracles:msp_smile:

395--outboard clutch

So the 395 does have quad transfers and a rugger boot. I wasn't aware of that. Yes, the outboard clutch is a turn off, but I could get over that.

Someone pointed out in an earlier thread that an outboard clutch puts the drive sprocket closer to the clutch side bearing, & that the advantage of this arrangement was longer life for that bearing, especially when using long bars & more tension on the chain than you might use on a shorter bar. This was brought to the attention of a poster who was interested in a 390 which, he indicated, had an inboard clutch & thus more leverage on the crank since the drive sprocket was located further away.

Are you gonna get another lightweight bar?

I already replaced that bar with one of those Tsumara light bars. I just recently put a 36" Stihl Light bar on my 066. It'll probably go on whatever I buy.

brad, your poll seems to be incomplete. there is no place to vote to have tree monkey port the saw.:bang:

 

[RYNOMAGNUM]

Have never ran a 660,but my 395's at work run really good. I am a Stihl man but gotta give credit to a good running saw!

 

[7hpjim]

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'm closer:msp_biggrin:

Does the 395 have an unlimited coil? If so, is an unlimited one available? I'm assuming it's different than a 372 coil?

It would be the same coil as the 394 and some other older Husky saws. I don't know if the coil on the later 395s is limited but the last new
395 I had in my hands (2006 model) had an unlimited coil. It wouldn't be hard to come up with one if you bought a saw that did have one.

It's the same style mounts as the ignitions on the 268/272, 51/55/154/254/257/261/262.

Hey, they actually *do* make a stumping saw, we've had some threads on it here. Those Russian saws or the huskys with the bicycle like handlebars and you can rotate the bar or saw so it is horizontal. Stump standing up.

stump removal

first use the appropriate tool

No more stump

With the charity drive going on, I've nearly forgotten about this. I'm still waiting on the guy to come up with the funds for 066 anyway.

 

[blsnelling]

My 066BB left on Thursday, and I'm still torn on what to do. It will be either a near mint 066 or a new 395XP. I've yet to see a used 395 in the condition that I want. Anyone got one they'd want to sell?

 

[rburg]

I believe there is a 395 powerhead in the classifieds.

 

[REJ2]

A brand spanking new Husky 395xp might just make me change my avatar:msp_razz: if I was to own it.

 

[Trx250r180]

i like em both but would go 066 if its the newer poly flywheel one

 

[blsnelling]

Not quite the condition I'm looking for.

i have a new 066 in the box, it is a fairly early model, never been fueled. came across 2 of them, i was going to list one on CL, and keep one. they are both set up with wrap handles and big clutch covers. i think it would be worth a 1000.00.

You obviously like them a LOT better than I do!

i like 066 well enough, i just very rairly get into wood that the 441/460 will not handle. i will keep 1 of these until my well used 066 is worn out, which no more than it gets used will be a long time. we clear cut 46 acres this winter and my 50-60cc saws did 95% of it. i do not enjoy carrying around a heavy saw if it is not needed.
