According to the Husky site:

 

Recommended bar length, min-max 18"-36"

you could even get away with sticking the 42" bar on there i would say its next saw down from the 3120xp. the solid tip husky bars fit on 395xp so id say you could get 42" for it.

mine wears a 36" on 3/8 chain and would say it pulls it fine better than a 28" for some reason just feels like its made to carry a 36" !!! not sure about a 42" though ?

im just guessing that they use the same solid tip husky bars on the 395xp as they do on the 3120xp. if so u could get away with a 42" bar wouldnt have alot of power with it but still would get job done if needed.

Matty, is your 36" 3/8s bar a husky? In the catalogue they only list 3/8s bars up to 28", so to go up to anything bigger would mean changing to .404, which might slow a 395 down a bit.

[MattyF]

no its oregon power match i think it could be listed as a 404 bar because if i take the DL number to get a chain made its to short!

The exact number on the chain is 063/1 404 drive link symbal 104 any way it works a treat and i didnt fancy a 3120 or the ms66 wich stihl fit a 36" on out the box

I thought that husky bars only go up to 28" with a sprocket nose which is why it lists the 395 as taking that. They will as Matty said pull more (not sure about 42" mind!) but personnally wouldnt want to go on 404 pitch. Just get an 3/8 oregon bar

Only looked quick to find this for you or speak to jonesie or clarks, im sure they could sort you out.

Mine runs well on 36'' as well.It's a power match with the .404 sprocket changed for 3/8.1.6 chain though.Can't remember price,wasn't too savage.

Just another thought, you could always buy one of those adapters to allow you to fit stihl bar mounts onto huskies and run stihl 3/8ths bars up to 36" or splash the cash and buy a cannon!
