395 and 660 video

[parrisw]

I think the guy that did it has done about a 1000 of them. He said it's his specialty. He said he can get a 390 close and a 395 does ok in real big wood that he's done. I don't know what he does but it really runs. He doesn't use popups either. I do know that from looking inside.

Stihl's generally have higher compression then husky's, so a popup isn't always necessary.

The 660 is about 165 lbs last time I checked it. I think the 395 is higher than it is. The last 390 I had was around 175.

Here's the video of it yesterday. It does run better.

it seems to handle that bar with no problems. is that skip or full comp chain

 

[mdavlee]

Full comp on there. I didn't get a video of the 660 but they seemed very close with the big bar on them. I made a cut about 25' from those cuts on the trunk right above the fence wire and it was somewhere around 55-60". I used the 660 for that cut. I didn't have anybody to video it. I think the 395 might be stronger than I thought it was.

we need some of that log at the gtg

 

[mdavlee]

Part of it is been marked off in lengths to go to a sawmill. It's on the property line and fell into my grandpas land. The guy"s been putting off getting it for 6 months or so. If he waits much longer it's going to be cut into firewood. I don't know if his tractor would load a very long piece at all. We could have a GTG there and whoever wanted the wood for firewood could have it at the end.

 

[tlandrum]

every other line tree is your grandpas so if you want it for firewood you have the rights to it

 

[mdavlee]

I know it's been laying there long enough that it shouldn't matter what happens to it. If he leaves it much longer we might see what a log yard will pay for it. It will probably be sold for ties with the small hollow spot in the first log.

Yeah!

165psi is a good number for an all day work saw.

 

[mdavlee]

Yeah I think the 395 is pretty strong, but it just seems to lumber along and get it done.
