Which would y'all get?

[cliff-1972]

I am getting ready to purchase a new chainsaw.I want to get either a 385XP or 395XP Husqvarna.What one would y'all get.I do cut some larger trees,40" and up,from time to time.I did have a 066 but sold it.So this is the real reason for another large saw.Also,I will be sending it to Ken when I get for a Woods Saw up grade .So which should I get and why?Thanks

I'd go with the 385XP. Just because thats what my next saw will be.

Hey Cliff,
Steve here...
I love my 066A, but I have to admit...My next new saw, will be a 385, sent out to Ken.

Hi Cliff, I have a KD 385 and have felled and bucked over 100,000 ft. with it, all that was ever changed out in that time was a carb kit. Get the 385, it's light and really sings. Tell Ken you want the high compression oil cap.

I have a new 385 by Dennis and I love it. I was debating the question between the two myself. I went with the 385 for several reasons, newer design, 2lbs lighter, side chain tensioner, and Dennis and several other people said they're a great saw that takes mods real well. I think they were right. It is hard to pass up the extra stock h.p. but I can't imagine needing more than I have. Wanting more is always a problem. Anyway, I really like the 385, it has some real nice features that are not available on the 395 and it runs great.

Thanks,guys .Well the 385XP is what I'll get then.I talked to Ken yesterday and also the 385XP.He said for the price I can buy it for it would be well worth it.He also said it takes well to the mods.I'll let you know as soon as I recieve it.Thanks again.
