On the topic of employment: every job I have ever held was in the odd position of being overstaffed with underachieving (and thereby underpaid) people. As in, you might have ten guys in a shop and three of them are doing most of the work. Management thinks they are saving money by hiring 10 guys at $10.00 an hour instead of five guys at $20.00 an hour. This is a very self-defeating way to do business. With few exceptions, you pay for what you get. People at the lower end of the pay scale are usually less productive, have more absences, and change jobs more often. The cost of hiring a new employee and getting them up to speed with everybody else can be thousands of dollars. And, then when they quit a few months later you have to repeat the process all over again.
Pro94, sounds like you are more on top of it than most. Getting paid to have fun, that is a great attitude to have. People who go into business or choose a career based only on the money are, without exception, the most miserable individuals I ever meet.
My oldest is off to college so I do have a spare bedroom. You find a way I can write you off on taxes, sure.Can I just move in with you ? .. I won't piss on the toilet seat..I swear.

Because we get to write off all the saws, and they would show up empty, with loose chains, dirty air filters. Just depends on the type of tree service. I take pride in my saws and work. They get blown off with air, filled up, chain replaced or sharpened at the end of every day when the guys have went home. Some are out to operate as cheap and make every penny as possible and do it only for the money. I love what I do and get paid to have fun. That's how I look at it anyway. And we are drug and alcohol free. You also have to realize many of the low end tree companies are drinking and doing drugs throughout the day. Lol they could care less about a dirty air filter.
Adoption may be possible?My oldest is off to college so I do have a spare bedroom. You find a way I can write you off on taxes, sure.
Would have to be one righteous return for City Boy to call me Dad.Adoption may be possible?
395 is clearly the winner, but if you combine 066/660 (it is really the same saw) the results are very close.
Likely they both "get it done".
Are the low end tree company's hiring? Sounds like blast...plus I don't give a *f-word about air filters either.Because we get to write off all the saws, and they would show up empty, with loose chains, dirty air filters.

Ah but you can do the same with the 394 and 395 which are largely the same saw too and the gap widens again! LOL! Just poking a little fun 'StangMike
The same is pretty much true of the 394/5 as well. Relatively mild modifications are all that are required to run a 395 top end on a 394.. Actually, I would more or less call them "updates" rather than modifications. It's actually a Husky sanctioned conversion or update (whichever you prefer to call it) for customers who have a 394 with a bad cylinder due to the 394 cylinder being NLA now. Biggest functional difference between the pair is the intake tract and impulse setup. Same bore, same crank, same bottom end. The port layout of the cylinders are different, 394 being a large dual transfer port and the 395 having the more modern quad port design. There are a handful of other subtle little differences too... But by and large, the 395 is really just a 394 with a face-lift, I'd bet their relationship is very similar to that of the 066 and 660.No problem. I just know you can bolt any 660 part on most 066s, and they have same bore/stoke, etc. I'm not as familiar with the huskies.
Yeah cleaned cylinder piston fried.bought a meteorDid ya save her before she burned down??

066 + 660 = 21395 is clearly the winner, but if you combine 066/660 (it is really the same saw) the results are very close.
