That’s what I used in the late 90s as a logger pine and Cyprus in the Florida swamps and ranches , That song definitely work muscle you never knew you had last lifetime.
I live in the southern USA, but grew up in Western Canada , central Alberta, love your channel, one of our best friends ( couple) grew up in Manitoba along the Red river. You have the work ethic, family first balance , what is fun for me is your so genuine! I am believe everything you say! Love the Wood weasel pictures from the winter going to get water! Been there ! We lived in Grande Prairie in the early 1970’s winter was an 8 month affair!
I have a 390xp which I love, but then when you see a 394/395 out the corner of your eye your brain stsrts to do the sums to see if you could afford one. Haha men like shiney things too.
Tinman , i have fallen with a 2100,394xp many 066s but the 661 magnum really makes me smile! The 100cc class is my comfort zone. I love what your doing and thank you!!
I have a 395xp with a hyway big bore an a pop up ported as well by JK performance saw shop an its a wild child i have an 066 flattop worn out stock an a J&S chainsaw ported 066mag with a pop up also an a OEM cyl. An i absolutely love love it for my everyday falln saw such a strong build
Enjoyed running a 394XP ...still have a few 395's and a couple 2100 and 2101....great in big wood....timber we cut now days is second growth lucky to see a 36 inch tree...small wood....Shoe in SW Oregon. P.S. looks so weird those saws without full wrap handles...they look naked....
Sometimes it's just down right fun to do 50-60cc cutting with a 90+cc saw💪🤪 Hopefully the stars align so you and Buckin will get to spend some time together during his journey!
Tinman, I took a shot and bought my first Husq today. Picked up a 394 in case you couldn't guess. I'll be interested in finding out just what I got. As a novice saw user and green to Husqvarna's, I hope to really have good news as I get familiar with the saw. My first efforts to pull start it were not as simple as the seller made it look for him but I finally got it.
@@tinmanssaws I really do thank you for your encouraging reply. I already have a cousin to the 394 in a Stihl MS660 I bought about 4 years ago. That saw I never drop started, but used the method where you put your foot in the handle. When I bought this 394, the seller only had to pull about 3 times and could get it to fire. After about 12 pulls I still was having no luck.
@@tinmanssaws I plan to go see how it is starting today with the same drop technique and also one similar to how Buckin lays the bar on the log and pulls up toward the shoulder with the left hand. The only other issue the seller told me about was the kill switch not working. If you know the usual fix for this, I would appreciate it. Thanks
It is music to the ears listening to a saw that is well tuned, and that you put together yourself. I passed up a 394 for $350. I didnt know what it was worth and would have to drive to get it. I have plenty of saws.
Love the sound of those big saws, but we sure don't see them much in our area do we ! I'm in Gladstone Mb. Late saturday night after seeing an ad on Facebook marketplace i went to a local landscaper and took in a rescue saw. A Stihl 261 CM with VERY low compression. I have the same saw at home so it would be a good parts saw, but thats no fun. I haven't opened it up yet, but i suspect a broken decompression knob perhaps. I think the plan will be to get ahold of your friend at Wolf Creek and order up some parts to build a little hot rod saw. Oh and the landscaper showed me his new saw, an MS291 saying it was the biggest saw stihl has (55.5cc) That is no doubt truly the biggest saw he could find at a local dealer. I know my dealer looked at me funny when i asked if they had any 462's or 661's in stock ! Haha. Loving the videos, and just a quick note here to say hi, and there are other saw enthusiasts in our neck of the woods.
Hi everybody! Tinman is spot on! Rakers heights are very important to match to the hardness of the wood. It the rakers are too high you are recutting the saw shaving. If it's too low it's more aggressive, it depends the on the power of the engine therefore, the operator has to balance the equation for optimum performance. Also pay attention to the chips forming and observe the freshly cut surface and inspect the scoring teeth marks on the face of the cut. Thanks Tinman! Wen you tune the saw in the wood could you put captions to the video so we can see and understand which way you are tuning the low and high jet. Thank you! Kind regards Endre
I know I was in my 60s before I got to run a 372 and what a great saw, I’m sure that saw is impressive it’s a big saw and just the right size for you. Thanks for sharing
People think I am nuts but I put a 32 inch bar on a 460. I use it for limbing. WIth the long bar a don't have to bend over asmuch. getting old for bending over all day. If I could find a 32 in bar for my 240, I'd use that
Truly, one of the saws that I really would love to add to my collection. They are difficult to find, and when you do find one it's usually pretty well blown up. I'll keep looking! 👍
Very nice Tinman, it's a beast. That's the biggest saw I've ever seen you operate, it suits you. That monster would do well in our big Douglas fir out in BC, although a ported 266 doesn't seem to have a problem with big wood. Sure hope that you keep that saw stock, it's too nice to mess around with. Also it's a gauge to compare ported to stock in that CC range.. Keep em comin brother.. SLANT'E
Ya, mine doesn't run like that Tinman lol! I had emailed you about it. I did tear it down and am going to rebuild it, should be able to make a good runner with a bit of time and a few bucks. They are both high hour likely logging saws by the looks of them. Make one good runner, keep the other for parts saw
@@tinmanssaws awesome running. I too have just rebuilt a 394 - pleasure to own. Do you know roughly where your carb settings are sitting? Best regards from NZ
Ill give credit this sounds amazing, but my buddies Pioneer P62 is my favorite sounding chainsaw ive heard in person. Has that super low "ding-ding" sound at idle sounds like a cammed out muscle car
I just got my holtzforma bar and chains. If it’s good enough for the Tinman it’s good enough for me. Just use it for firewood so it won’t see daily abuse.
If I could only have 1 saw...It would be a 394/395! They will handle anything...The kill switch was the only issue with them. They fail from time to time...
This is to everyone who wants to buy an awesome saw like the 394/395.... Get plenty of experience running saws in the 60/70cc range before you try and use a pig like this. Doing tree work I was used to running a 372 all the time, but when I first got a hold of a 395 for a big stump cut, I almost wasn't ready for that sucker and I mean it! These big saws aren't your weekend firewood junkie saws that's for sure.
Just scored myself a 395, with the intention of mounting it in a chainsaw slabber. Had to have a go with it on a couple of logs of course, and I’ve got to say I throughly agree with your assessment! It’s an absolute unit of a thing, definitely get the impression it’ll turn around and f**k you up if you get sloppy with it. Love it though, it’ll be great for slabbing.

The 394 xp is my favorite saw. and he is a real monster

I love what your doing and thank you!!

Yup great saws except thirsty! I scored a 1997 with a 16" and 36" bar and chain for $400. It's a joy to buck with a 24" bar.
Have a couple of 660 clone saws. Makes me giggle every time I run them. Overkill maybe,but so much fun 😃😃😃
Very nice running saw, stock. 🤙
Imo 394s are one of the best saws ever built I'll never turn loose of mine
Nice saw!!
I love my 394, it will pull a 42 in soft wood all day. 🤘
You definitely need a full wrap
Sometimes it's just down right fun to do 50-60cc cutting with a 90+cc saw💪🤪

394 is one of the best ever made.
Starting the big saws gets easier with practice. At least it went that way for me!!

Great saw! Love your video’s Tinman , take care my friend
Nice saw you have Tinman. It is too hot to cut wood in Iowa. 100 degrees today.
Been wanting to get out and cut but 109+ the last week here in hobbs nm🥵 supposed to only be 99 tomorrow, might cut a little.
haha like the noodles from the “with the grain cut”. pulls itself nicely through the wood, sharp is the only way to work!
I know I was in my 60s before I got to run a 372 and what a great saw, I’m sure that saw is impressive it’s a big saw and just the right size for you. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful Husky……… Sounds so good! Now I want one😂
I don’t have a 394 but I do have an angry 2094 I ported. Beast of a saw! Love my red saws
People think I am nuts but I put a 32 inch bar on a 460. I use it for limbing. WIth the long bar a don't have to bend over asmuch. getting old for bending over all day. If I could find a 32 in bar for my 240, I'd use that
Cool video love big saws
Haha.. how's the forearms after lugging that beast of a saw... good solid saw and a good couple hours work heaven on earth...TC Tinman Mahalo 🤙🤙🤙
Tinman what happened to the power saw pants? Happy cutting! That thing is a beast!
Beast of a saw there love them on the flat ground but alot to handle on steep terrain I've had them about push me down the hill a time or two
I agree Tinman! I only hand file now. Chains last longer and cut way better!
Truly, one of the saws that I really would love to add to my collection. They are difficult to find, and when you do find one it's usually pretty well blown up. I'll keep looking! 👍
Farm and ranch saws are the norm here in southern Idaho. 50-60 cc. That’s why I went with clones. I keep looking for big Huskies and Stihls.
I got the 390xp and love it
I love my 372xp. I could only imagine what the 394 is like.
A well tuned 372 with a sharp chain will out cut that 394 on that small wood .Those saws were built for torque and pulling big bars .
Nice saw.
Wow, that thing is indeed a GORILLA bone stock Tinman! Makes Me REALLY want to see How the ported one is gonna rock n' roll!!
buckin billy ray runs a ported 394 with a pipe all the time 👍
pleasure running a good cutting saw.
Very nice Tinman, it's a beast. That's the biggest saw I've ever seen you operate, it suits you.

nothin wrong with overkill as long as your back will handle it
Better hide that thing, I heard Buckin might be comin your way!
Ya, mine doesn't run like that Tinman lol! I had emailed you about it. I did tear it down and am going to rebuild it, should be able to make a good runner with a bit of time and a few bucks.

Was thinkin of you when I made this video.
@@tinmanssaws awesome running. I too have just rebuilt a 394 - pleasure to own. Do you know roughly where your carb settings are sitting? Best regards from NZ
I use one for firewood. It's way overkill, but damn can you cut up a trunk fast.
Ill give credit this sounds amazing, but my buddies Pioneer P62 is my favorite sounding chainsaw ive heard in person. Has that super low "ding-ding" sound at idle sounds like a cammed out muscle car
my filing is spot on 🙂 i tested my blades out yesterday my god deadly lmao.
394XP MY FAVORITE SAW FOR SURE
I just got my holtzforma bar and chains. If it’s good enough for the Tinman it’s good enough for me. Just use it for firewood so it won’t see daily abuse.
i wonder what Tinman would make of a 3120 then. 😁
394 jugs are not available anymore are they? Not referring to the 395 jug use on the 394.
Do you have any connections. I'm looking to buy one of these for sentimental reasons as it was my dads prized saw growing up. Can't find any out there
I had a 2100 it was a nice saw , alot more metal on em tho
First kid? God bless bud.
Yep first one
@@tinmanssaws I know you already had her… but man you are in for a wild ride
Just built a 395xp and need a carb for it but I got it running with a 372xt carb.
I have two good saws I have one of them and a 268xp and wound the idle right tf down in both of them and they sound lumpy asf
What do you think of the holz bars?
Hey Wooly, for the money they are not bad. I've had no trouble with them so far.
@@tinmanssaws cheers buddy, just came across your video on them, I'll give it a watch later
Tinman how is the Holzforma bars holding up?
Don't miss the front side tensioner
Tinman what happened to the 590 timber wolf
If I could only have 1 saw...It would be a 394/395! They will handle anything...The kill switch was the only issue with them. They fail from time to time...
It rolls like a Harley
Should do a run with the 920 jred. Do a comparison.
That would be a awsome vid. I’ve got a 920 and love it
Would be the last saw I would ever need
whats the difference between 394 and 395 besides the high top filter
395 is EPA
Go wach ironhorse has a good video on the different
Better check all the fasteners on that top cover.. could see it moving around in the cut..
good saw for grunt i use the 395 for revs i use the 385
I'm putting some blocks aside for you Bill.
@@ishure8849 nice
Mesin itu sangat tangguh 👍 tapi untuk mendapatkan parts nya susah bos 👍

I cut almost a hundred percent softwood, so my rakers are at around thirty thousandths.
A wire brush would help you get the metal chip out of the file
Yes it would… search “file card”
