advice on big saws

[Tom Hall]

Your help please,

 

I am looking to get a 'big saw'! I have a husky 346xp on a 15" bar and am hoping to get a husky T540xp, but I also need a big saw for large felling and cross cutting, all make and model suggestions welcome please

All fepense how much ur willing to spend. Last time i looked a stihl 880 was around £1300-£1500 bud

Here we go.... I'd recommend the Husky stables 576xp, or wait for the 372xtorque when that's released, supposed to be the bees knees. Larger than that? Do you really need larger? Husky 395xp will do everything else you'll ever need, poky pouchy zappy and the proper colour for a saw

Or a Stihl 066, poky punchy zappy saw that will do everything you ever need, and also the proper colours for a saw. see unbiased me

I had a go of Arbogrunts 395 yesterday,what a saw with an 18inch bar on it!

I would rather that than the 3120 I have,its just too heavy for prolonged use.

I would look again. I got pulled by saying this and f r jones (as an example) was 1100 for saw and bar.

 

Don't know about husky as not had much exp using them. Stihl ms660 maybe. The 880 is a big heavy saw to lug about all day.

395xp or 3120.

395xp is more versatile as the 3120 is very heavy.

Hi, I recently bought a husky 395 with a 36" bar/chain from forest & arb (advertise on here) have a massive 30% off, cost around £960 including postage. Although its the only big saw I have ever used I must say its got phenominal power and torge. Its not too heavy either. I fitted a full pull handle from stihl as opposed to the T handle as supplied, works like a dream. Done a lot of large tree felling and bucking-each tree trunk all wider than 4 feet diameter, puts the gob and back cut in easily. Its great for bucking up big trunks-especially with a sharp chain-knife through butter. Am chuffed with it and the service from forest & arb was spot on, hope this helps, Nick Pearson...Timberline-Roe Ltd.
