[@JS-qd9rz]

They look well maintained. I'm amazed at how many saws I've worked on that haven't seen much maintenance, check your clutch when you replace the rim sprocket (helps keep the chain from stretching right away) and grease the needle bearings (so it doesn't eat up the crankshaft) when you remove the cluch and they'll even longer.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the tips!

[@obxkoastie8170]

All good tips to increase the longevity of your saws. The two tips I was taught when I bought my first pro saw, a Stihl 036 (1992-Made in Germany) was to let them warm up for at least a minute before giving it full throttle/load, and let it cool down for an equal amount of time after a long/extended period of cutting.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I keep thinking about getting a 42" bar for my 395 to go along with the 32 that it normally wears... but I keep getting my big stuff done with the 32. And you guys are right, the 395 really likes the gas.

[@InTheWoodyard]

she is a thirsty girl!

[@billypitts6368]

My 372 drinks like a fish. Hate to see what a 395 would be like.

[@BKD70]

@@billypitts6368 Bucking the big rounds with the 395 where my 32" bar is buried (40+ inch wood) I can buck off 6-8 rounds or so, and it's time to refuel. I think the fuel tank holds just over a quart. Like Chris said... she's a thirsty girl! If I'm running the 395, I can easily empty my 2 gallon saw gas jug before lunchtime. But, keep in mind, if you've ran 2 gallons of gas through a 395, you've cut a LOT of wood too. And if you're over 40, when the tank goes empty, it's time to take a break anyway. The 395 is a young man's saw... it will wear you out.

I had a 40"+ silver maple trunk last year. Tree service cut it about 38" to move it. I just busted out the wedges and made boiler wood for a friend. Makes a huge pile quick.

Wow a brand new 395 and a 42” bar and chain…2000 dollar purchase right there! Most of my logs are big like that maple, I just run a 32” bar on my 395’s, keeps the rpm’s higher and just cut one side and then cut the other, roll them over with the excavator and finish them off, then you grab the coins with the bucket and thumb and chuck them into a giant pile until it’s time to munch them up into splits so the guy’s can put them on the log splitters and turn them into…money!

[@BertsCustomCuts]

Its not a new 395. Adam has had that for a few years. Keeping your saws well maintained and clean makes them look newer. The 42 in bar was new.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, a 32" bar will give you a 60"+ cut, I have never cut a tree that big here. West coast yes but here a 40" tree is rare and a 50" is like a Sasquatch.

395 makes most it's power down low not like the 592 so loading it up isn't a bad thing and it oils heavy so low rpm it's still ripping. If you go by spec it's making the same torque as a 592 at 6000 rpm so pretty low in rev range.

You can minimize your work load by dumping your logs on some rubbish rounds, running parrellel to each other, and sawing your quality logs on top. Saves rolling for the second cut. If this was my timber yard i would countersink bolt some half sawn small round timbers onto that concrete slab, to assist production and minimize fatigue..

And them after cutting for days/weeks would you unbolt to clean up? We clean up every couple days before the sawdust freezes to the cement making it crappy.

[@lumberjaxe8910]

I would leave them bolted, and fabricate a simple rake attachment for the loader, to back blade saw dust. Providing your half sawn rounds are cut for clearance for under your loader, i could see how this would speed up your production, and cause less fatigue, its already a tough Job.

@@lumberjaxe8910 You build it, get it perfected and record a video and put it on youtube for the world to see.

[@brucelaatsch8668]

Where is your measuring apparatus? Lol!!

[@bekaerttrio2231]

👍👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks TRIO thumbs!

[@dizzystj]

Why not use the new big processor you have there.

[@InTheWoodyard]

To big of wood, the MB22 will do 22" wood max and the $200 processor will do about 6" stuff.

[@russellhorner4950]

The 3 series saws are so much easier to work on. My opinion.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, IF you like to work on them. I don't so I just get the 5s!

[@danielstevens3372]

I don't know about most people but I can't stand having loose cut wood under and around where I'm working.I clear my work area as I go so I don't get a possibility of getting hurt while cutting.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it does jump up and trip you sometimes.

[@brettlewis2054]

At least you don't have to bend

[@InTheWoodyard]

Not sure what you mean by that? Bend as in when you are cutting ? Yes you do if that is what you are stating?? When cutting with a big bar on a big log you have to bend to keep the bar level so the tip does not hit the ground.

[@Dale.Nienow]

Why don’t you have those big fat logs made into slabs instead of firewood?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Mainly because I sell firewood and do not have a market for slabs.
