395XP no more

[Treeaddict]

A friend at a local dealer said Husky is currently (and permanently) no longer manufacturing the 395 series. I knew it was coming but it still sucks. A shame.

592XP is a dandy though.

Well, that is some good news to come out of the whole situation.

I'm sure the 592 XP is great... But I know several loggers who have a pile of old 395s that they use for parts who are not going to be happy about making the switch.

Recently switched from a 395 to a 592 and I wouldn't go back. It's the superior saw.

If anyone doesn’t like the 592 and wants to swap for a lightly used 395 with probably only about 30 hours on it, DM me.

I have a new 395xp. The thing is made in Brazil. If you are cutting softwood any sharp saw is fun. Try that in tropical hardwoods and it is a whole different animal. My 661 eats hardwoods, my 395 eats hardwoods. I assume the 595 will eat hardwood.... they all have the power needed. I need to buy a 595xp, only because I am a saw addict. I love 90cc saws the most.

Been running the shit out of a couple 592’s and they are a fantastic saw. Keep em’ sharp, keep your air filter clean, give em’ good fuel and they will cut like a raped ape. Grunt, speed, and bottom end for days. All the things we love about big bore Husky saws.

What aren't you an addict over regarding tree gear? Truth be told, we all have our soft spots.

Once I got these huskies, the 3120xp, 395xp and the 372xp I realized how much chainsaws mean to me and my work. Just having a quiver of Stihls and Husky gives me peace of mind and options. There is no wood I cannot make mince of. Powerband and torque is real.

I have both a 395 and a 592 on the truck. The 395 is 10 yrs old and recently broke a chain adjuster screw. It was going to be a week or two for getting a replacement. We had a lot of large tree crane work already scheduled so I bought a 592. I'm impressed with it and now grab it first for big wood.

What size bar is everyone running their 395/592? I stuck with a 36" on both, which I believe is the max recommended by Husky. Contemplated a 28" or 32", but my ported 372 pulls a 28" no problem and the 32" is kind of an odd length in my mind.

My 395 pulled a 54” bar through red oak. Oiler keeps up well.

Edit: The 54” is for special situations. I love a 28” bar and also run a 36” frequently.

36" Sugi on the 395 and the 36" Husky lite on the 592. I don't have too many trees around here that needs more bar than that. Run a 24" on the 372. Although, I am going to be tackling a 35" northern white cedar in a couple of days that poises some problems where I will wish I had a bit more bar, but I will make do with what I have. Photos coming on that project.

I run a 32 on both daily but have a 42 when needed. I've run a 36 but I don't like how awkward it is to get in my saw scabbard on my bucket truck. I do a lot of crane cutting larger wood from the bucket.
