Is there a reason the ivy does not get poisoned? Especially on the trees near buildings? Is it killing the trees?

Think I’ll give the Husky/Sugi bar a try. Will report back. Thanks for your help.

For my 390 Mastermind Husky — I have 28 and 32 Oregons and satisfied with them, but think a 32” light weight bar might be nicer and maybe even lighter feeling than the steel 28. Having read what I can find, it is hard to choose. What are your opinions on Husky mount light weight bars? Which one...

Speed feed makes different sizes and they work. I have found that cleaning them every somoften and a shot of silicone spray on the insides makes them work very well.

Changing just the coil is cheap and easy. Then tune your modded carb for high end just like any other saw. I like mine barely blubbering out of the cut and then cleaning up immediately when under full load. If you put a 20,000 coil on the saw it won’t make it run 20,000 rpm.

If money is not a problem, I suggest you buy a new 3120 and have it worked over a bit. Mod the carb for screws so you can tune it, install an unlimited coil and open the muffler a bit. What I found is that there is no replacement for displacement and the extra CCs of the 3120 is a fair estimate...

If you want to hate milling, ignore the advice about getting the exhaust away from you. A nose oiler is a great thing, almost as great as a sharp chain. If a sharp chain is important on a standard saw, it’s twice as important on the milling saw.

Good video!

It will be fine for years.

In real money that’s a bit over $1400. Kinda takes my breath away.

Yes Sir!!! Very impressive.

Hard to see much difference among the top three. Thanks for posting this.

The 395 is first pick. And you want an auxiliary oiler for what ever saw you pick - it will make a big difference because you are oiling both ends. Chain tension is right when its loose enough to run freely but still gives a smooth cut. A real loose chain will give a more ragged cut. I keep mine...

Huge reason is lack of ability to move the log. Once it is sawn you can pick it up and carry it board by board. Another is cost. You have a saw and then buy a mill attachment for it. Suddenly you can make boards!

Mostly whatever gets the heat out. The same things will make it run better too. Easiest and cheapest is a muffler mod and re-tuning.
