Cutting first tree with brand new Husqvarna 395xp. Dangerous cutting technique for professional only 

Good deal, glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you for the kind words my friend.

@tailgatetinkerer7710 I stay just ahead of the tree sitting down if that makes sense

Chaps slow you down when your running for your life. Lol

@@Good.Fellers you're darn right. Where do you boys cut mostly? I'm about 2 hours north of Toronto canada. Cut lots of hard maple white ash and white pine nothin else really grades well around here. The oak market around here took a bad dive this year as well.

@@joetibbles1553 Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana We chase white oak and walnut but cut a few other species on occasion.

Thank you I agree!!!

Ok I will make a video explaining how and why I use stihl bars!

Never heard of that I’ve wore out 15 or so of them and never had a coil problem

Glad ya liked it.

Hey thank you! I will !

It’s hard for me to explain, I’ll have to think on this and I will get back to you.

@@Good.Fellers No worries, I subscribed anyway! We are really drilled to use pulling chain wherever possible due to the fatigue of resisting the pushing chain so I have never seen someone cut so predominantly with the top chain. But it clearly works!

@@smallcoppercoins01 It’s pretty standard on the East coast when cutting hardwoods. I’m not overly familiar with west coast style of cutting. And as far as bucking or limping a tree I use the bottom of bar as much as possible.

Just Subbed !Great video ! I’m a Stihl guy but enjoy any good saw, which Husky’s are. IMHO. That 395 is awesome, very sharp chain also……like your technique too 🪵⛓🪚👍👏🇺🇸 Rick

@@Living-The-Dream awesome glad to have you on the team I Appreciate the kind words

Yes I assume you Humboldt and cut a bit higher?

@@Good.Fellers yes, due to topography and the way trees grow up here that’s the most widely used cut. Some hardwoods are cut low to save as much wood as possible for veneer and plywood. I personally have three 395 xp’s , three 372 xp’s a 661 C and a bunch of echos that refuse to die and keep running. One 395 has been boded by donny walker as a woods saw and runs circles round every thing else. We use 54” bar on it for larger logs

@@Good.Fellers may I ask what state you’re cutting those beautifull white oaks? Great area to work. Pretty fiat terrain and minimal scrubbry

@@tomyousch7070 I would love to cut on the west coast some time….I see videos of beautiful timber being cut out there!

Thank you for the kind words, I’m a big fan of the 394 I have owned a few over the years

I know exactly what I’m getting with a husqvarna 395xp where as the husqvarna 592xp is new and may have some kinks to work out. So I wouldn’t say I prefer one to the other but as of now my standard operating procedure is running 395s with a optimistic view of the 592 being the future.

@@Good.Fellers I agree! You can always rebuild a 395. The 392 is an epa saw that runs lean and hot. It recycles the exhaust gases back into engine to heat up fresh charge going into chamber

I personally think at this time a stihl bar with x-cut chain is your most economical set up!

Were there any modifications you had to make?

@@devronzea1042 yes I had to add a adapter to the saw and I bore out the oiler hole for added performance.

@@Good.Fellersok thanks, very cool

From a very good timber cutter many years ago!!! Also I’m always trying new things and improving on old tricks.

Very simple the 372 is to small and lacks power when I need to chase a tree down. It is a good saw though. My dad uses one for firewood.

Thanks stack master

Thank you George for the kind words!

😂

Yeah me too.

Just another way to cut a tree. No fiber pull, Fast, efficient, etc…….but to be clear I’m not recommending anyone do this.

@@Good.Fellers Hell no. i´m not doing this one on tree i can´t control.

@@Grimmjar I recommend that you don’t do it as I said in the video.

Thank you, be safe out there.

I would!

Awesome comment, thank u sir

Oh come on... how is it that dangerous? I would say the small saws are more likely to cut you.

@llewmatthews4828 I agree.

Thank you!

Ahhhh is that what keeps it from pinching the bar?

@Mr_Clean boring in repeatedly as tree starts to sit down is what keeps bar from getting pinched.

Cutting with the top of the bar pushes or packs the chips in the stump as long as the bar doesn't go through. I use it all the time cutting off stump with out the need of a wedge.

It’s actually white/but oak.

Я ошибся

If you cut 120 trees a week for a year your saw is whooped. Also your gonna smash a few saws over the years so 10 saws really isn’t that many if your working.

I smashed enough saws with one tree to do me for a lifetime. None were of the quality of a 395. I’ve never owned a 395xp. But I’ve seen some of my friends run them for years cutting timber. I’m pretty sure I’ve never cut a 120 trees in one week. There’s just not enough hours in the day if you’re cutting, bucking, dragging, sometimes loading , and every once in a while hauling.. That was all in a past life. Nowadays it’s not marketable timber that feeds me, it’s removing those difficult nescient trees that makes me fat.

I’m staying in the woods. I can’t stand people so tree service work is out of the question for me.

Awesome thanks!

There the real deal.

Thank you!!!

There better then Oregon/husky bars.

​@Good.Fellers yes but what about a sugihara blade - the ultimate in hard steel and looks cool

@llewmatthews4828 I don’t run light weight bars, there to flexible.

Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you for the nice comment!

Lol…..went just where I wanted it…..down

So you never ran a 395?

@@Good.Fellers I have a 390 and a 394. The 390 to me feels a lot quicker in the bush and more nimble but both are great saws. I just really really prefer the 390 over the 394

@chadrides914 right on.

?

Lol

There pretty sweet!

It's called torque !
