I've got my new, ported 395 I'll bring along as well. It might have one tank of fuel through it.

390 too...
Most definitely. I just wish the 395 and 661 had more run time on them.

Boy this will be a great video with all 4 saws together!!!
I hope so. Just keep in mind it may be a few weeks until our schedules can make it happen.

It will be worth waiting on and Id really like to see Randys 661 on Chads dyno to see what that bad dude is putting out!
We have saws that need testing. I figure that we'll need at least 24" of at least 30" diameter wood to test them...wood that is clean of knots and consistent in diameter. That's hard to come up with for me.

Wow!! That will be awesome!!!
It's been a long time since we've had a comparison like this, should be a good one.

you havent ran the right 395 then.
if you come to Wiggs next time I'll bring a proper one. It might give you a pop up.
How long is that stock 661 going to be stock???

think you could use the same bar for the entire test? Maybe a sugihara would work with all the saws? Or Tsumura was very consistent so a tsumura for the stihl's and a tsumura for the husky's.
After running/testing all the bars I did, I did notice some sizable differences in time between bars.

I hope. All my bigger stihl bars are all wide nose so they won't work on the huskies with the same chain. It may have to be brads 28" stihl light bar if it has the narrow nose.
I have Stihl Light 28", 32", and 36". I also have two Tsumura T&L 32". So yes, they will all be wearing the same B&C, using an adapter on the Husky saws.

28" bars are for 70 cc class saws...
Guess you could run one on big saws with an 8 pin in small wood.
I agree. This 661 will be wearing a Tsumura 32" T&L, just like the one on my 390XP.
I understand that. If I had some bigger stuff we would be wearing bigger bars. But if you want me to wear the 36" for a 26" log, so be it.

You guys are free to do as you like. You could run those saws with an 8pin/24" in that 26" log.
It is my opinion that if you want to really showcase these big saws, put them to work with a big bar in big wood. Square up that 26" log and strap 4 big cants together, 2x2...side by side/top and bottom, then you can get over 36" to cut. Or, ask around at work or church or via friends for a monster log...maybe even with a tree service.
I appreciate your enthusiasm and willingness to perform the cutting test/videos, I just think the test log is critical to obtain the information you are looking for. 36" bar, or even a 42", in a 40+ inch log is going to be a true test of torque and oiler,
