Both
No 60 is about all that little 395 will suffer I have a 3120 to run it and the 60 from now on.
It’ll be interesting I’m not sure how it would do when taking a face but if it’s anything like my 60” Cannon you’ll have to start a cut with another saw.

60 inch fat belly cannon roller nose bars are what I used to fell a hand full of timber in my time. It was about the max length before cuts started drooping from bar flex.

The trees I've had a hard time with were oval cedars, and the face needed cut on the narrow part. Pilot or not only a third of the bar was in the tree with the face almost cut out! I found it worked better to cut with center of bar on those odd shape stumps, that way I'm supporting some of the bar with the powerhead

Problem I had with anything over 52 inch on a 395 is keeping bar nuts tight, and I broke alot of tensioners with the 60 inch. Went with a 3120 then, but that saw was a handfull. One strip that had a few cedar pickles I had to pack that dang saw about half mile over blowdown and up and down 2 ravines. I was plum tired when I got to the trees.

I just sold a full wrap handle for 3120. I ran full wrap on my 395, 084 and 2100's but not on the 3120. At the time it was like 200 dollars, I said screw it that's like 3 night at the bar having fun!
