Nice! Let us know what you think of 'er after putting it in some wood. I don't personally have much time on the 390, will look forward to your impressions.......
Well , just had a tri-axle load of wood delivered a few days ago . It's a mix of Ash , red oak ,cherry ,osage , and a bit of silver maple . So far , I've only cut about about a cord with it .
My impressions are based on the other saws that I own . I'd love to be able to compare it vs an MS 660 ,and a 395 XP .
First of ,I'm using it on logs that are delivered and stacked . I wouldn't want to use it to delimb a felled tree for any length of time . If I was going out and felling trees for fire wood , I'd go for a smaller,lighter saw .
Comparing it to My 044 ,or 372 is kind of unfair considering how I intend to use it .
I'm just blocking logs for firewood . The extra weight ( which doesn't really feel all that great ), the extra displacement , and the 8 pin vs 7 pin drive sprocket make it an unfair fight . The 390 wins hands down . It just kind of drops through the logs .
As far as vibration when in use , it's as good or better than my other saws .
If I've left any thing out , just ask . I'm more than pleased with this saw .
I'll try to post a few pics later on .
