Hi guys,
I'm interested in doing some chainsaw milling and wondering what bar size you folks think might be maximum for use with a husky 395xp. The wood would be hardwoods (red oak, white oak, chestnut oak, walnut, cherry and poplar). I sold a bunch of timber in the spring and most of the stuff I would be milling would be the cut offs from the butt logs. Some of those butts are in the 48 inch range and there is some nice stuff left and I hate to see it go to waste. (Not really sure what I will do with it yet, tho). Anyway, I have 385 and could easily trade up to a 395 with my local dealer for not much money. I don't really want to go to a 3120 unless I absolutely have to because I would like to use the saw for other felling and bucking chores. Let me know what you think.
