Logging chainsaw?

[grack]

I've been running 371 then 372s since they came out with mainly 24 sometimes
28
They were stock back then
Did the job day in day out.
Started with the ported saws a few year's ago.
But i'm still just fine running a stock saw all day.

then again, a Husqvarna 390 sure is a pleasure to run in that size wood.

+1 on the 390 XP. I've run the 390XP and its little sister the 385XP for many years. Awesome saws.

Duce.....their just purdy saws.....what can I say??!!

I want just a stock saw honestly. Really looking to get just more power than the 290 has.

If stock go with a 390xp if you where going to get it ported a 372xp would do good.

I can get a 372 xp low profile here locally for 550$. Good deal or? And how would it compare to a 440 or 460 stihl?

Are they available to everyone at 550 for a new oem 372? Can you say who has them?

It's not new, it's been rebuilt with oem parts though, and a 2 year warranty.

461 will get it down no problem but money was no significant object I'd go with a 661 because hardwood takes long enough to cut already and you can pull a longer bar to get through the trunk flair at the base of the tree. if you're talking 24" to 30" inches DBH you're gonna be doing at least another 6 inches at the base and hardwood is high value so cutting low with more power in that extra-dense butt log may pay off imho.

Looking to do some logging on a small scale, was looking for a bit better chainsaw, Currently have a ms290 that i cut firewood with and clean up around the farm with. Looking for opinions. Going to be cutting mainly hardwoods no bigger than 24" to 30" across.

For production falling out here I run a 390 with a 32" or 36" bar semi skip chains or a 395 36" up to 60" in the PNW. I've ran 372's hopped up and stock I've never cared for them for a light little hot runner I love my 562 with a 28 or 32 even for cutting our red alder out here.

How well does your 390 keep up? I've also looked at buying a new ms391 or putting a ms390 topeend on the ms290 i have

That will still be a lot smaller saw than the husky ,the model # s are similar but the husky is a lot bigger engine ,if doing one time logging maybe consider a used ms440 ,then you can still use it for a firewood saw when done. The 291-391 stihl is a plastic cased homeowner saw ,the saws ones being recommend are pro magnesium cased saws

ms391 is not what you want for this.

I personally like a strong 60cc for logging and would get a Husqvarna 555 or 562xp if buying new.

 

[Beer Gut]

Stihl 441 or Husky 372xp are my vote for you

He was talking about the 88cc 390 Hushy.

Not the Farmtronic 390.
