Gonna get a new big saw this week!

[tlandrum]

I can definitely make a 390 out cut the 660.

How does the 660 and 395 compare in smoothness, power?
Trevor

The 395 is spring av so it's smoother and will edge out the 660 on power stock.

I don't plan on getting this new saw ported until summer as I will need it to cut firewood. Something about the 390xp just doesn't interest me

I like the 660 with a longer bar but have not run one of the equal size Huskies to compare it with. What "other" saws do you have? Commonality of bar mounts maybe should be a factor. Buy used, buy one of each, and sell what you don't like.

You're not the first porter/builder I have heard/seen say that but didnt want to tout it as a fact.

Borrow your dad's 460?

I noticed the 660 is smaller than the 395 in bulkiness

I have a 395, and ran a 660 for a few years. They are both excellent powerful and smooth saws. I prefer huskies, but the 660 is just an awesome saw. And if i were to buy one brand new off the shelf, i really would go fkn crazy trying to pick which one............

(dont tell my 395 i said this)

It ain't his till I see some cash, he is bad to take forever to pay if I go ahead and give him something first

It is smaller by a little. I like them both and have a 660 and 9010 right now in the 90cc class. The 660 handles better than a 395 by a little bit.

I tried the 660 and 395. I now have three 390XPs if that says anything. The 395 is a strong saw, but it's also a brick.

I noticed at another dealer as he had a 390 with 32" bar and it was lighter than I thought it would be.

The 395 is a bit heavier and not as nimble as the 390 and 660, but has noticeably more torque stock to stock. All 3 are great saws and you would be happy with any of them.

But how do they compare to that lovely 2188 you have lol?

 

[nk14zp]

Wild thing.

 

[blsnelling]

The 2188 seems a little torquier and the 390 makes more RPMs. Remember, the 2188 is bored over and running a thin ring 2100 piston. It has the same displacement as a 395. There's only 1mm difference in the bore between a 390 and a 395.

 

[ash man]

40" red oak rounds 28" bar buried. No problem. Lighter than any 80cc saw and runs IMHO like a 90cc saw. Just my .02¢

 

[Twisted Priorities]

MS 660 is the perfect saw.

 

[ncsawguy]

wait for the 661 let stihl get the kinks out from what I heard its tough saw
