I know Noble I got hired down there back in 90's and had to turn it down. I had just bought a place up here.
Thinking was in Belmont. Was one or other anyways.
Thats a great area and IMO I see great saw buys down that way.
Just another junk chainsaw

I am liking prices I see on 395s. Might be worth looking into and just teaching myself how to work on saws. I have a Stihl 029 and a Husky 45 in the garage that were given to me. Maybe I can use them to learn on.
There is a 395 for 450 but a 3hr round trip north west from me.

Probably a little far for me at this time. Hoping to get more serious this summer. Is in the 4-500 range where I can expect to find a 395? I know used is used, but is a saw in that price range GENERALLY still going to be a pretty good saw? Are they "bulletproof?"

No saw is bulletproof and they are easily damaged buy a careless or inexperienced operator. One improper fueling, or ran too hot can leave them needing a rebuild. But if you know saws, it's pretty easy to see what you're buying.
I see them from that to 700 for OEM 395.
My clone G395 ran cut just like OEM. For 3.
RK has them here too new.
Locals 94's 95's I work on in one pic.

Your Rural King sells Husqvarna? Mine only sells Stihl unfortunately.

So say I go the clone route. As I have stated, I am not a saw mechanic but that difference in price is so tempting. So many people on forums, like you xyz, speak highly of them. What would a novice saw guy need to know about a 395 clone to not ruin it?
And what about a 390 as a milling saw?

IMO if you cant troubleshoot or work on a saw dont try them.
I see so many guys that owned a plastic poulan buying a G660 etc and cant even figure out ot to start them.
Most flood them.
JMO my 385 was stronger then the later newer 390. 390 was a afterthought cylinder 1mm bigger.
Not much torque IMO compared to 395 at all. I can stop a 390 just bucking easy.
I'm sure you can mill with it just would be my pick for that kind of money.
385 I owned and 390 I work on for local.
Could anyone make out the brand name of the new chains he put on both?
Least they were the same on both.
Like to see them again with C83 and pushing hard like he was.
It it just me? I wasnt impressed running a stock 500i either. Liked the 462 better.
This showing him pushing tells me there isnt much torque there 500i. But I dont test cut like that I let chain work.

This is the same saw from 2023 I remember now called HOG at KY Expo .
I was like ya right 28" bar and pull it. But seeing that video with 24" pulling buried made me a believer.

I ain’t givin mine back.
The electric saw is impressive but having a battery the size of a car battery in a chain saw is about as clunky and clumsy as it gets out in the woods.
Like the guy said, cuts faster, but 22lbs is heavy and then there’s the endurance problem, especially when out in the woods.
If they make a vehicle charger for it, you’d have to run your trucks engine to not kill your own truck battery while charging it.
No doubt electric saws are the future though. In 5 years, they’ll be the mainstream saw. I bet backpacks with batteries will be an answer to endurance.
Not impressed with Stihl’s lackluster progress on electric saws. They need to get their act together faster.

As used pretty dang close and 500i the lightest 80cc out there. The rest would weigh the same as that battery saw.
Call me impressed big time.

The reviews on all greenworks battery products are pretty good. From wha the local battery shop told me, greenworks makes good batteries and they can be repaired. The same manufacturing they use for batteries is the same echo uses. One of the reasons I went with echo.
