    Well since the395XPG are discontinued, might as well scoop up while the getting is good. The decal got a blemish on the ride here, but otherwise OK. Great deal and service from Spike 60, kudos he Da Man!

    My woodcutting has changed since I have some logger buddies. The cut offs I deal with on the landings are very large. Big saws come in handy.

    Yep, like my buddy Charlie used to say, "you can't ask a boy to do a man's job." Big logs takes a big saw.

    Awesome!! I'd love to have one someday. I know my 372xp impresses the pants off of me, I'm sure that would just make me giggle like a kid!!!

    I found with mine I really didn't gain much over a 75cc saw until I went with an 8 tooth sprocket. Keep in mind though I mostly cut soft woods. If you are cutting large oaks you probably are better off with a 7 tooth and will still see a gain over 75cc class.

    That qualifies as a big saw according to my 2 year old. A 390 is a medium saw and a 346 is a baby saw for her to use

    Nice saw from a great guy!!

    I could live with no sticker on it. A 90 + cc saw and heated handles. That's a beautiful thing!!

    Hope it serves you well for many years!!

    The 5' log in the center was about a ton. I had to noodle each round into sixths in order to get on the splitter.

    For the foreseeable future, it will remain NIB. I have some capable saws right now. I got it to put on the shelf since they are no longer being made.

    That was kind of the point of the 346 picture next to the 395, pretty big difference. You are right too, the 90 cc class like the 288 is quite a bit smaller too.

    Awesome saw! Great to pick up the good ones before they are gone - I'd have a hard time not running a tank through it, but if you aren't planning to run it, makes sense to just shelve it new - real nice! Cheers!
