576at and 390xp weight

[mrgoodkat]

A long time ago somebody posted pics of a 390xp fueled up and on a scale but i cant find it even with the advanced search. Im thinkin about running my 2 saw plan with a 390 now instead of getting the auto tune. I figure with the 390xp not weighing much more on paper Its worth it for the extra power. I dont need a saw that big, but ive always wanted one. So does anyone know what these two weigh in the real world?

Its called the "official chainsaw weight thread" or something like that. Both of those saws should be in there.

576 is a hair over 15 lbs and a 390 with flush handle is 16.3 or so. It's in the thread Anthony listed.

Im surprised nobody weighed a 660 in that thread. Thanks guys for the link. Hey mike, did you like your auto tune 576 ehile you had it, or would you buy a 390 again?

I posted the weight of my 390XP-W fully fueled/oiled and with a 24" b&c right -HERE-

The 576 is a fine saw and it pulled a 32" pretty good for a 73cc saw. I like the 395 a little better than the 390 for a big saw. If the saw is going to be the main saw then a 390 might be a little more manageable for several hours over a 395. The 576 does balance well and will do anything you need with a 28" bar or shorter just fine.

So i take it brad is all for the 390xp lol! Theres just something about that saw. Everytime i see one or hold one i get a warm, fuzzy feeling. Based on looks alone, its my favorite saw. I sold my ms460 over a year ago and havent replaced it yet, one of the reasons being i cant decide what i want. But no matter what, i always seem to come back to it.

I have never ran a 390 but I do have a lot of experience with a 460 and 7900. Neither saw was ported. Of the three, 460 7900 576At, I like the 576 best. The 576 now has an advantage being ported but I think I like it best stock also. I did like the 7900 a lot, nothing wrong with it at all.

I never noticed a weight difference between them.
