Forget the 390, just get a 361. I hear they can outcut most things.

This isn't about the Stihl 390, but the Husky one - not comparable animals......:censored:

I was talking about the Husky 390. Just I had heard the 361 was running rings around the 441 in 40 inch wood so assumed it would keep up with a 390xp. :jester:

Hey Ben
I got one last week. I've never run any Huskys before so I'm still trying to make up my mind about it. All I've done so far is buck some oak and madrone firewood logs with it.
It's smoother running (vibration wise) than the 660 I'm used to and it seems to balance out better with a 36" bar.
I'm really trying to like the saw because anything you spend a Grand on should suit you but I'm so used to 660s that it just feels wierd.
I'll be able to tell more about it after I get into some serious cutting with it. There's nothing so far that I seriously don't like.

390 runs great. same parts as good old 385 except for new cyl / piston
light enough to do anything with a 24", powerful enough to put the big bars on. industry std for logging in NZ unless you own a ####l

My 390 puts a smile on my face every time I start it.....The exhaust note at idle reminds me of a an old 2-stroke racebike.It cuts well, and runs really smooth.....I'd love to try out a 660 for comparison though.Torque is addictive.
