    No that was about 3 full days worth. Had the 288 and the 395 I just had wicked work saws- terry do. We have to alternate between the two they get too hot. The 395 really rips now when I get my 390 from him I think I will send my 288 to get ported I think I opened a can of worms with the first ported saw!!! And yes thanks we just put the tin on this summer

    photobucket-39632-1380862305298.JPG I've run 3 gal of saw gas thru my 394s a few times bushlin but try to avoid it most days were 2.5 gal for 6 1/2 hours trigger time. Now a 288. They tend to be real good on gas. 2 gal most days for 6 1/2 hours on the saw.
    Looks good !
    You should like your 390. The tree I'm falling in my avatar I was running my 390 on.

    Yes it was scraps from a company my dad works for so it was a zero investment but worth the time. No cutting on the ground fast and we made the spacing between 24" so you can tell what size you are cutting quickly IMG_0958.JPG

    Clipping that with the chain is a work stopper I bet!

    We can split 10 cords a day - that is one long day! If we have no major break downs.
