and rip your arm off trying to start her. Unless you have compression release, and or an electric starter ... just kidding... you'll poke your eye out..The 395 is an exceptional saw! Great for felling, stumping, and bucking. Plenty of power to mill slabs also. It is heavy, but with a sharp chain the weight will make it just fall through the log, effortlessly. Being a machinist, you can always cut the base and squish band and get the compression well over 200psi. Add some finger ports, increase the sprocket size and let her rip. Sorry, I am getting carried away. I love my modified 394.
I would agree. I have a 455 with a 22" bar and I'm ready for a good nap after a couple hours use. The 455 has about 1/2 the HP and weighs almost 5 lbs. less than the 395.Now that's a big boy! Makes me tired just looking at it.
