Anybody using a 385/390xp for logging? I am looking at getting one. I want to know what the pros and cons of them? I also need to know the largest bar that can be used on them?

Hello,
When I was contract cutting my last saws were 385s. I loved them always had 372s before that but wanted a little more omph without too much weight. I liked the saws alot, carried a 24in bar in hardwood excellent. The majority of what I used to cut was black cherry, oaks, hickory, beech, maples, etc... and now and then some white pine and hemlock.
BTW before the 372s all I had were 394s. I didn't have the timber anymore that required the power and weight.

Myself and alot of my crew use the 390's. Great dependable saw. Most guys run them with a 36" bar. It pulls it no problem.
