Need an opinion. Am going to get a bg saw. Which do you prefer,
the stihl ms880,or the Husqvarna 390xp.
the stihl ms880,or the Husqvarna 390xp.
Like they said.
880 and 3120 are for milling and rainforrest situations.
For knocking down big trees I would go for a 390 xp.
The 395 is more old school (a lot more weight and not a lot more (.1 kW )power).
If you can even do with .5 kW less you safe yourself a lot of weight and cash with a dolkita 7900.

You are totally right. Better oiler also.
The 395 is more a small 3120 than a big 390.
It's probably also a regional thing.
In the netherlands or germany there is no actual use for a 395 I think. Not enough power for milling (which nobody (except for us) does anyway).
And if you need to pull more than 40" you are also better of with a 3120.
If it's less than 40" a 390 (or lighter) is so much easier to handle.
And we don't have forrests full of 60"ish trees anyway.
Note; In case someone gave me a 395 I would find a use for it. I've rented it once. It's a beast compaired to my 7900.
