First 372xp with the 75cc top end I've done. Lots of grinding but I'm pretty happy with it. 7T rim and Oregon EXL

Saucy...

What's that? A training bar? LMAO
Put a real bar on that 372.

Lol that sounds like something I would say...

That’s an SSQ brush hog? Never seen such a thing.

Damn..... Tough crowd around here today. That 20” bar was all I had besides a 36” or 42”. Saw was dropped off in pieces in a box with no bar. My 24” test bar went to a new home with a 7300 last week

Shawn showing ec pos saws cant even drill a hole straight. Just like the 3140 = crooked.
He said he is batting a 1000 on crooked holes so far.

Maybe Shawn needs a few beers before his next vid...

New 395 stock saw on its 3rd cut in white pine. 32” bar buried with full comp stock chain. I couldn’t believe how good it ran for stock. (I have both owned and have ran other’s modified and stock 394’s and 395 before). I actually took the covers off when I got home to see if it was modified. Nope. Brazilian must have been in a good mood when they put this one together!

Check all the screws and fasteners now for proper tightness. Before they be on the ground. LOL
Nice saw there.

Every now and again there is a stock saw that comes along that is much stronger than normal. My 7910 was like that. Miss that saw

I agree with that. There can be 10 saws, one a turd, the rest about average and always that one that just runs real good. I don’t think I’ve ran a bad 395 yet, though this particular one surprised me.

 

[Redbull661]

well I got a chance to run these two side by side...

Nice video Julian. Both saws have pros and cons. Both saws are worthy of owning. Good time to be in the market for a 70cc saw...

At the end of the day. Husqvarna guys gonna buy 572, Stihl guys are gonna buy 462. It just comes down to what you are accustomed to and what you are familiar with. Long term durability will be key here. Will they last??? Does that extra pound in the 572 mean something? Will the lightness of the 462 do it in? Looking forward to the future to see what it bears.

That is literally the most unbiased thing I've ever heard here lmfao and you arent wrong! I feel exactly the same way. Does that extra weight on that husky mean it will be more durable? Who knows, only time will tell.

Its awful hard to go wrong with a 462, 572, or 7900 currently.

 

[RI Chevy]

Yes Dominick. All good saws these days in that class.

 

[MustangMike]

I will stick with what I said initially, those looking to run 20/24" bars will likely prefer the Stihl, and those looking to run 28" + will likely prefer the Husky.

If you are just felling +/or bucking, you may prefer the Husky, but if you are felling and limbing with the same saw, that 1.5 lb weight difference, plus the instant throttle response make that Stihl hard to beat for that kind of work.

The 462 is so versatile, a lot of my other saws will be seeing less work!

 

[RI Chevy]

Time to liquidate Mike!

 

[MustangMike]

Remember Jeff, SELL is a four letter word!

 

[RI Chevy]

LMAO. Very true Mike. [emoji16]
