not really apples to apples....since you have a WPS saw, maybe ask Dean his opinon on the 390, i believe he likes them as they take mods quite well.

If I didn't hate the extra volume, I believe I would try a woods modded 390. Smooth as anything out there, and great performance. Not a cheap solution, though.
But since I don't want the extra volume both because my head doesn't like it and I cut mostly urban, that isn't a path I've gone.
But my 7900 with square pulls a 28 fine and those are my most used saws-love em.

Would a torque modded 390xp pull a 36" bar o.k.?
I'm sure it would.
Heck, my backyard woods ported 441 pulls a 36" if you don't lean too hard.
Cool I didn't know that. I've only ever put a 30" bar on my WPS modded 440.

I see you have a washington pro saw 440. Call dean up and ask him what he thinks of the modded 390. A modded one will pull a 36 just fine.
Yeah you have any modded saws?
Ive ran "Bookers" modded 390 nice saw. Didn't convince me I needed to replace myDP 066 but convinced me I would like to add a 390 to my arsenal. For the 100 bucks youll never be sorry to have more power for same weight.
I'm really going for the 660 but I don't have the patience or money to buy a new 660 and have it tricked out when my 440 is in the shop and my 350 ignition module wire got chopped in the fanwheel because it came out of the clip that holds it in.

That 390 is a really nice saw.
Group buy??? No stop that.... just got charged $9 fuel surcharge shipping a chainsaw bar!!!
Why does'nt Husqvarna or some other company make DP covers for 394's & 395's?

Their style of mufflers would make that hard to do, Stihl easier to add a pipe/port though. I think they are too busy making wildthangs....

For the numbers mentioned $930 you should be able to buy a new 395, my 660 was $950 sporting a 36 from Cantelmi Ace hardware here in Northeastern
Pennsylvania. Look them up they are on Sullivan trail in Easton PA ask for Mike he is the store manager, pretty sure he will give you the same deal. My understanding of the 385 as I have read in the posts are pto side bearing failures, I have heard of none with the 395's. Both the 660 and 395's are well made.
