Building a 390XP Monster

What ever we want!!:jester:

Just this year I sold off my 52" Scag walk behind, a dual hydro with a floating deck and jungle wheels and bought a 50" X-Mark Lazer HP sit down zero turn. I actually thought the Scag striped better, but the X-Mark is WAY faster on ground speed. I mow about 5 acres.

I've looked into them, but the older wright decks have a somewhat closed off design that chops up everything pretty well. Right now I'm running the stock Wright blades, medium lift. How is the cut quality with the G6?

This is an old pic, I have quite a few more saws, and a few in this pic are long gone.

nice family photo. =)

G6 quality of cut is great. especially if you cut a lot of wet or damp grass.

preforms very similar to a high lift blade with very fine mulching, without the power load high lift requires or robs from lower power engines.

Well, I'm a bit old school. When it comes to mowers & saws. LOL Am partial to conventional style mowers and chainsaws. But, when comes time for a new mower, I think I will step into the world of the zero turn type. Couple older pics of what I use. Got me covered summer & winter. Its ammazing the amount of snow one can move, with that 44" blower, and 20hp Onan.
If I could mount a set of wheels and a seat to my 5200 Poulan, I would.:biggrin:

Gregg,

Im really old fashion when it comes to mowing my grass.. my lawnmower helps fertilize the lawn as well! Its called a horse!

Nice wheel horses.
I have a older one that I'd like to restore some day.
In a way I wish I never even learned how to use a ztr for work. Fly around all day on a 29hp liquid 72'' Exmark where when you get in the right grass, its still falling from the sky when you start your next pass. Then go home and putt around the yard on TSC Husky.
Now I NEED to have 30k worth of stuff to mow my 3-4 yards that I do on my own.

There is a learning curve.

I have a set of ultra high lifts and you're right they rob a ton of power, I may have to get a set of the G's.

The 56 mm topend is running

I posted the details yesterday, HERE. I thought I would continue on with the build in this thread.

It amazes me how these thin rings work. They have almost no tension, yet they seal wonderfully, enough to make >200 PSI compression. Then you have the added benefit of much less drag.

 

[blsnelling]

Both saws are fantastic, and it's hard to pick a winner. The 390 makes a few more RPMs and is faster until the wood gets much bigger. Then, the 2188 has a slight advantage. The 390 feels like more of a hotrod and the 2188 more userfriendly with a slightly wider powerband. I'm very happy with both of them and honestly, can't decide which one I like best. I like the hotrod nature of the 390, but the 2188 is probably a little better choice for my intended long bar use.

Looks good.

The 390 looks better.

 

[Roll Tide]

Looks good.

The 390 looks better.

I agree 390 looks a bit stronger.

That was cool to see Nik run that Jonny, and when he finished, he turn to the camera and had a huge grin on his face.
