    Smile 385xp

    Well, went to the dealer and got my 385xp today. I got a 20" on it for now I ordered the 24" GB from him but it wasn't in today. I'll pick it up later. Any way I got her home and laid her in some wood and WOW, I didn't think it would be that strong right from the dealer. My 440 and 460 where way tighter from the dealer. As soon as this storm passes, we're gonna start cutting timber with it. Sorry guys no pics yet. I might though...

    Maybe the 385 was cheaper??? My neighbor has a 385xp and he let me use it to cut a huge ash tree that fell at my father-in-laws. His saw has at least a 25'' bar and I still had to go around to the other side and meet the cut.
    Anyhow, that 385 rips and had no problem being buried. It is also the biggest saw I've run and I have nothing else to compare it to. I think you will be happy with the 385xp

    Most buying here is want and emotion.

    Cause it was cheaper and I didn't want the extra weight. Yea, the 390 might be bigger, but when I'm limbing, I'll be glad I got the 385 for less weight. And besides, I've always wanted a 385xp.

    congrats on the new saw.

    i doubt the 390 weighs any more than the 385.it's the same body.

    Volvos are cool with Husky chainsaws.

    Weight difference is very minimal but the vibration levels are quite different.

    The 390 has a forged three piece crank, and 3 more cc's...that's it. The weight is not even worth mentioning. I fall timber with a 385 xp and 32" bar and absoulty love it. But I wish I had inquired or known about the 390before I bought my 385 But the 385 xp is a darn fine saw, and it sure better than cutting with a 460!!! The air filtration is next to unbelievable

    Yes, but like the older Volvos (945/965/V90) better than the newer ones (V70etc).

    ...loves the Turbo engines as well (more effective than the "turbo" on the Jonsered saws -lol).....

    Smile 385

    I forgot to mention that the 390 was too close in size of the 660 I will be getting soon. So I got the 385, it was more in between the 460 and 660. And like I said before I've always wanted one. I thaught about getting the 390 but I decided that I wanted a 385 more.
