A good sized saw

True . I sold my 3120 on a 50" canon bar as it got used once in a blue moon .

There was one however in a garden in Funtington West Sussex .. Succumbed to HF I think . Dead standing . Still had to cut from both sides with the 50" bar .

Ha I stand corrected! Are you the guy that does the saw porting?

No . Spud ported my saws . Well worth the money in my opinion .

Oh well if budget isn't an issue then a 390 or 395 will be more versatile in the sense that you can run larger bars, but obviously are heavier and much more thirsty.

I have used the 395 with a 20" when my 70cc saws have been down ... the novelty wears off after about 5 mins. Not much you can't do with a 24" bar on a 576 as long as you can sharpen it well.

Is that a 395 on your harness in your avatar Matty?

It is Mick , most of that tree I did on the 576 swapping to the 395 and later a 880.. I guess thinking about it the 395 could of done all of it but then so could the 576 just more awkward on the timber not suited for either saw.. day in and out I think the 70 cc will make you more money ideally you want both so they don't get burnt out doing things they should not be doing!

When I first went self employed all I had was a 288 xp which I suppose is the same as the 390 and a topper the 288 did every thing but wasn't any good at any thing really either.. next step was a 60cc saw then I chopped the 288 for a 395 that was a good medium for a while until I got a 372 .. I would still be happy with just those 4 saws. 020 357 372 395.. get the 390 And fill all the gaps until you make the money !!

I have to travel with minimum kit for what ever job comes my way. Usually take 560xp with a 20 inch bar because it very versatile. I have bigger saws but if i can only have one for everything that I don't do with a top handle thats the go to saw for me.

I dont know why folk have a problem with 3120's

I use mine regularly. Admit that i am cutting bundled timber so need a longish bar hence the 3120 but i dont have a problem with it at all. Its just keeps ripping.
