I had anew 3120 and it sucked bad but the older one i had was a monster i wish i didnt sell it.I agree mate and I own one. The 3120 is built for a purpose. That is to swing big bars in big wood or milling. It is a tough saw, way heavier that any other Husky (surprisingly heavier for those who have never picked one up before), and an absolute mechanical dinosaur. It shares very few modern improvements like the rest of the XP range and is right alongside it's stablemate the Stihl 880. They are both fun on paper or for limited use but trust me, that fun does not last with extended use - they are absolutely physically punishing.
I've used an 880 and the only improvement I see over a 3120 is an inboard clutch.
One bonus is that my 3120 has the 12,500rpm limit, not the 9,500rpm limit like I think the US has.
I own a 390XPG but haven't had enough time on it to say it's the best Husky ever but from what I've read it would be the 346XP, 372XP, and 390XP neck and neck depending on the application.
