husky 395xp

[Paul Smith]

I am about to but a new saw, I would like a 395 but I want a 36' bar, Is it easier to go for a 660? What exactly would I have to do to a 395 to run a 36" bar?

Easiest way would be to buy an oregon or other make of bar, in the length you require, but in a 3/8 size. That way the sprocket ect stays the same.

Is that all? That means I could buy it with a standard 28" bar and just buy a 36" bar. Excellent news!

 

Cheers!

If youre planning to run it with a 28" as well, then thats definately the route to take.

We run our 395 on 404 chain. It seems to cope with it fine.

Alternatively, you could buy it with a 36" inch bar, ready set up with .404 sprocket, from the dealer, and buy a 28" .404 bar as well.

 

I think I would go for 3/8s on a saw of that size for preference though.
