No just for me... for all the hours I've been putting in... I've got two jobs that will probably require it...
I’ve had a 660… it was alright… but from research this had what I wanted…. The only downside will be learning the outboard clutch… which is why I got rid of my 562 husky…. But time will tell.
The 394 came out in 91, had a 10 year run (I believe) and in 01, they put a quad port cylinder on the same crankcase, along with a rubber intake boot instead of the resin block and called it a 395. It's been a good run for one of Husky's all time greats.
I can tell you one scenario that can be very frustrating with the outboard. IF you try to run Stihl mount bars, normal drive link chains will only work if you pull the clutch to slide the chain on. You'll have to add a driver to make it seamless. I borrowed 50" Stihl mount Cannon and chain to mill a big maple. That's the only way I could get the chain on the saw. Overall I'd like inboard better as my 365 has one, EXCEPT milling. It's better to have clutch heat out of the case and away from the seals. The other negative is that tensioner location. I wish someone would come up with an adjuster on a clutch cover.
