The only major complaint about my MS390 is that it has no more power, and perhaps less, than my MS361. It also seems to drink a tad more fuel.The MS390 is the only saw people are allowed to own here by law. That's ok though because i had one before the law was passed anyway. It gets a bad rap from tough guys. It's a good saw though.
Is this brute force saw what you are talking about?I still use my Mcculloch 610 Pro Mac that I bought new in 1978. 20 inch bar cuts anything I need for home use and I cut about a cord and a half with it yearly. The only downside is no automatic oiler so I have to thumb pump it a lot.

heres the 345 dropping a birch i said 346 in the video in the bubble i correct myself as i meant 345. the only thing i hated working on that saw was having to take the hole thing apart but wasn't bad this saw gets crabby about running to rich or lean and its metering a tad more than the carb should but not bad i left it alone. pulling chipper chain, is there a true semi chisel in .325 ?i though semi chisel was the chain with the 45% edge on the cutter side not a rounded cutter head
That contraption is the worst I ever laid my hands on - totally appalling!
The lesser versions are of course worse, but we never had those in Norway.
I have to agree with Troll on this one, having just upgraded a 310 to a 390. I noticed little improvement and now have a saw with less horsepower and more weight than my MS361. I thought the 390 would do a good job pulling a 25" bar. Sadly, It does not.That contraption is the worst I ever laid my hands on - totally appalling!

Well, I guess my 361 has me spoiled. The 390 will pull the 25" bar, but it seems slow by comparison to the 361. I need to learn to have patience. On the other hand, if I really want to pull the 25" bar and watch the chips fly, my 046 Mag and my Makita with its BBK will run circles around either one.Yours must be defective then. Mine is unmodded. No problems with a 25" bar for the last 5 years.

Ok, it cuts through birch (butter), but what’s the point?
I got past the funnel problem just yesterday for all my saws: Maple syrup bottle filled with bar oil. Clean it and fill it with a gallon jug of bar oil and forget the funnel. I used to do this over 5 years ago and forgot how well that it works.
The one I use holds 24 oz. I use two of them when I go to the field. 48 oz usually lasts all day for me. Funnels don't let you see where you are when you fill the tank, so you usually slop it over. Quart oil bottles are a good option, but they are harder to fill than the syrup bottles that have a wider mouth.thats awsome lol but thats not enough bar oil for me that would get me an hour. well what kind of bottle the long skinny ones that can fit in the cabinet. or fridge door
