28" is the largest bar recommended for the 395 on 3/8 they are straight swap but you could change to an 8 tooth on 20" the 576 goes very well with this set up.

 

36" and your into 404 territory and really a 3120 is best placed

Been running a 36" .404 bar on my 395 ( and previous 394 ) for ever and ever . Not a problem . :001_smile:

The 7 pin will give you more grunt and less chain speed, the 8 pin will give you less grunt but higher chain speed.

 

In general, the larger rim will give you faster cutting speed up to a certain size log and then the smaller rim will be faster. On a 20", an 8 pin should fly fully buried. I would imagine that a 24" fully buried, the 7 and 8 pin will be similar. Much depends on how hard you want to lean on the saw!

Only for about a grand to spend so wanna buy as big as possible. It'll rarely be used on 36" bar but I figure it should reall fly on a 20 or 24" and still have spare capacity for really big stuff....will 7 pin on a 20/24" keep the chain spinning fast enough?

 

28" bar is the biggest you get with the saw. From next year that is all that is recommended for the 395 however as stated you can run bigger with no real issues. Husqvarna do not supply a bigger bar on 3/8 so you would need to factor in a 404 conversion or another bar else where.
