Hi guys,

I'm looking for a bigger saw and I've seen a guy selling a Husky 395xp local for a good price. I know the saws are good, thats not my question. I wanna know how long has Husky made the specific model 395xp??

Thanks for any help,

Regards,
Paul.

I'm not positive, exactly, but I believe the 395XP was first available in 1994, and can still be found today, at least here in N. America.

Mine has a front chain adjuster on it. Do all 395's have that or have they switched to side adjusters?

I think they all have the front adjuster and the outside clutch. Never seen one that was different form mine, its old style Husky. Only thing better would be a steel chainbrake.:clap:

Mine has the front chain adjuster on it also. AFAIK, they all do. Normally a pain to use when doing normal sawing, but for me, when it is on my GB csm it actually works out to be better positioned. I can reach it easier than a side mounted adjuster.

As I see the story, they were meant to have side tensioners (and originally were advertised that way), but that didn't work too well, so they soon went back to the front ones......:confused:

Nice saw with alot of power but whats with that inboard clutch set up on such a big saw.

The 395xp has an outboard clutch.

When you take the clutch cover off, there is plenty o' room in there to get the chain on and off...

The outboard clutch is really an non-issue to me... and I think I prefer outboard clutches anyway... no special tools needed for removal. And, you can't tell the difference when the bar is in wood anyway... :) :) :) :)
