    I've had a 390 for about 20 years cutting all my firewood with it. Very reliable. AT times I used it with a 28" bar with ease. Must say, now opting for a lighter saw usually and using the 390 for big wood.

    That may be,…… but, the Husqvarna family tree dates back to the 1600’s and those ancestors were rifles.

    Ktm in every way but the name. KTM purchased husqvarna motorcycles in 2013.

    That's what I thought I had read. Didn't remember the time frame. I think Gas Gas is in that mix too if I recall correctly.

    As said, they make some bass-azz 2 wheelers!

    I vividly remember them as objects of lust as a young dirt bike rider.

    Donny Price I have had that saw for a few years now. I like mine for the bigger stuff... and least what counts as bigger stuff for my small operation. Looking forward to seeing how you like it.
