what big saw ??

[rossj]

Hi all hope everyones keeping busy !! Im after some advice im after buying a new saw ive just bought a husqvarna 560xp but ive got a huge beech tree to take down and was looking at getting a 3120xp with a 42 inch bar I know it wont get much use but is it wise buying one of these or does anyone recommend anything else ? What does everyone out there use for their biggest saw ?? Thanks in advance !!

Good saw is the 3120, but its a lump to use up a tree, the 395xp is a good option imo, loads of power, & just a bit lighter to use.

I have 3120 and 395 . Much prefer the 395 . but when you need 42" and over it has to be the slower reeving but torquey 3120

hi rossj

i had a 3120 on a 36 inch bar what a heavy beast it is you will know you,ve used it for a while

unless you have good use for one would think it abit of a waste of money

how big is the tree probably a 660 or 395 on a 36 inch bar would do what you want and be less tiring

hope that helps from albert

Agreed . 395 0n a 36" .404 skip .

Do you just need it for this one big tree? How big is it? Maybe someone (possibly me) could lend you a big saw.

Hi andy many thanks for your offer but I do need to get one for future work, really generous of you though !

That's my thinking Albert.

How many times, realistically, are you going to come up with stuff more than 6' in diameter?

 

Don't get me wrong, 3120's and 880's have their uses, but they are bastards to wield!

love my 3120 ,you get used to the weight,let the saw do the work:thumbup:

Agreed . 395 0n a 36" .404 skip .

 

how many old blocks you got kicking about in that truck mate looks to be a different one every time!

 

395xp is a absolute beast and will handle allot more than you think! and is a much better saw than a 660 in my opinion i have owned a 395 and i own a 660 now and it just cant hang on those long bars like the 395 did
