New 395xp

[case mx270]

I might look at aspen never used before so will look into how much it costs etc it's pleasing to see most like the 395 thanks.

As for the 039 it's a 1997 model I brought off eBay 3 years ago for just over £100 it's only on 2nd bar and has never put a foot wrong for me, the oiler is a it stingy but not the end of the world. In fact I am very attached to this saw and would never sell it. Well for now ha ha

 

Thanks for you're reply what size bar do you run on it ? Cheers

Hi

 

Well done, 395 is a beast. Best use Aspen/Husky Power 2 which Im told is Aspen re-branded.

 

If you mix your own then Red-line with Aspen 4 is a sound choice.

33/1 is a bit dated now, get a good quality 2 stroke oil and run it 50/1, job done, great saws btw

Have a 395xp too and always had it on aspen. Running a 24" bar

 

''Tis my favourite saw

I recently asked on here about a big chainsaw for running 24" bars and decided to go for stihl 460 or stihl 064 both looked good but after some time thinking I didn't want to spend too much on a saw that was used and end up splashing out on repairs or Risthat anyway. So decided to apply for finance and get a 395xp off RF Jones with the bosses permission of coarse. I know some will say should have got a 661 but don't fancy the drive to pick it up. I hate London to many people in a rush for me I don't play well with other I'm told Anyway was after some advice on best fuel to oil ratio to use? And best 2storke to use? I use 33/1 in my 039 and seems fine. Any hep would be great.

 

What does the owners manual say?!

quick one about the 395 XP i just got one and has a 28 inch bar and my 385 does , i have 28 inch chains and 2 of which are skip , but was thinking of getting a 32 inch or even 36 inch bar a s we sometimes have big stuff to cut , but not much , would a 395 xp pull a full chain(not so much for power but clearing wood out ) or would a skip be better as they are not easy to get over here

My 395 pulls a .404 36" full skip no problem.

Thats good, I'm fairly sure the 3/8th 0.058" skip is as rare as rocking horse poo & UK exclusive to CSB as stated.
