Thank-You for your service to our country sir, and welcome home. Just bought my first 660 Magnum Stihl chainsaw after running the MS 290/291 for twenty years, nice to finally move up in the world!
It was great seeing Mr. Larry again, that's cool Tim that he can come out and share his knowledge and Tim it's great that you have him out there,he sure does enjoy it,you can see it all over his face, Take Care Tim and Have a great week..
I got four uncles that served in Vietnam and they had extreme ptsd. You look a lot better shape than when my uncles were alive. My hats off to you Mr Larry. God Bless you
Thanks to Larry for his service and the sound of the 635 never gets old, plus the 395 big saw eats well as always ! and the idle of the Stihl is so crisp !!
Larry, thanks Brother for your service and sacrifices. I too served and have the same issues and working with a saw in the woods is better than any medicine a doctor can prescribe. God Bless and take care my friend. Thanks Tim for being you! ❤️
Please tell him thank you for his service. I'm a veteran myself with PTSD and rated the same as him and I know the struggles of every day Life. You gotta find your niche that helps you adapt to life....and have faith. Great video!!
Thank you CT3. Thank you Larry for your service. The 20" bar is the perfect bar lenght. Never ran 660 magnum just a 064 yes it has been a few years since i run big saw.
A GOOD BUNCH OF FELLOWS CUTTING SOME GOOD LOOKING POPULAR. LARRY Thank you for your service it takes one hell of a man to do what you did and still hitting a lick
I run a 20” bar on one of my 372xp for any felling work and limbing work, it eats and runs on that saw very well. It truly is the most well rounded bar size for the bigger saws. I also run a 32” bar on my other 372xp but it has been ported/polished and muffler modded so she runs it really well but that’s a saw I used strictly for bucking up and cutting fire wood for! Great video and thank you to Larry for his service! Cheers from Canada eh 🇨🇦👊🍻
Most of my saws have 20 inch bars because longer bars create a balance problem - they become nose heavy and I hate nose heavy bars. I put a 24 inch bar on my ms 440 and it would stay on its nose on a level work bench. It now has a 20 inch Total laminated bar on it. It is a completely different saw, now. It is nice to see you have a Vietnam vet on your channel. I am one, too, a US Marine, type.
Yes I have a couple 395xps one with a 32 and a 28 inch bars. My 242 xps with a full chisel chain and a 24 inch bar cuts faster than than what I've seen. Been climbing and cutting trees for over 35 years and a I am no fan of over kill but what I've witnessed is old lazy guys who dont want to field sharpen long bars a 20 inch bar and this is an average for me anyway is about 15 minutes for a 20 inch and 30 minutes for a 32 inch bar give or take a few minutes depend on how bad a chain is.
Back in the day, ran a lot of big saws such as 1100, 1200, 289, 394, 395, 3120, Husky. 075, 090 stihl. Still have a few around. Real nice big saw vidja. And hey, I would like to salute that good ole Nam, vet.
You got that right Tim. Big saw, big timber and extreme heat is a deadly combination for anyone a death sentence for someone in bad physical shape. Never mind putting in a 12-hour day six days a week. Hydrate, hydrate and hydrate. Get in the shade when possible and keep an eye on each other. Heat stroke will kill you quickly if you’re not careful. A tough job for sure.
Thank you for your service, Mr Larry...I too, am a Vietnam vet, no PTSD, but do have the Type II diebetes, neuropothy, heart and artery disease and some people say problems I can't help...haha...You said it right, it is therapy just like my therapy is "T-Time"...Tractor Time on my little bitty John Deere 3032e...it's a beast... DD Hamric
Hey Double D, I saw Dusty tag you in a post today. I used to listen to you on radio way way way back in the day. If you would, I would love to get together with you and maybe do an interview with you? You can email me- cotontop3@yahoo.com
That dude is 68 years old and puts most 20 -30 year olds to shame, myself included.. props to both of u guys. I'm 40 and I hope to be still busting ass like him
Great video! Love your action shots, that heart rate monitor was great! Running a 395 is fun, mine got stolen ,I miss it so much, with a 28. “ bar and a skip tooth that saw was incredible. Now I have to use my pair of 372xps for everything....added a 550xp to my list of saws,I absolutely love the 550xp what a great little saw!
Our family logged for decades. We ran Pioneer until they went out of business. We got a couple Stihl and wasn't impressed. Then we got a Husqvarna it was a good saw but expensive. Then we learned that Johnsonred was basically the same as a Husqvarna but cheaper we went with them. None of them was as tough as a Pioneer P52.
This video got my heart rate up. Big Chainsaws,big trees,Tim,and Mr. Larry. That’s way to much goodness for one video. Great job on the video. Mr. Larry you’re a awesome Tater. Thanks for bringing out your saws.
Mr. Tim, Here on the west coast, I run a 42 inch bar on my 395. I know the hardwoods slow down a chain much more than a Douglas Fir but wouldn’t it still be faster than making two cuts on the butt? I’m sure there is a good reason as to why you don’t use a bigger bar, Just wondering ...
Tim, the biggest saw I ever owned was a Husqvarna 268 xp. That thing kicked like a mule. if you were bucking a log and the tip of the bar caught a twig, it was going where it wanted. Great Video and please thank Mr. Larry for his service for me.
I run a 28'' on my 372xp. A 20'' on a 555/562xps and 550xp. Long bars do serve their purpose. I would hate to tackle a gnarly 3 foot white pine with a 20'' bar... you got to be able to feel your hinge wood... especially when doing residential work.
as a Infantry Combat Vet i agree running a saw relaxes me and just helps put me in a good place in my mind so i understand that part of it. however would def prefer the stihl. actually a ms 661 but def Stihl.
I use stihl 661 32 inch bar. You can do anything with the tip with any saw and bar size if you just hold it real tight when tipping. Fast reflexes also help for if it catchs a limb and kicks when its not expected.
He had that Stihl sharp ! I got A new Stihl it’s light & cuts good and I got 29 yr old Husqvarna it weighs A ton but cuts awesome that thing screams it revs so high 😂 Love my Husky
Finally somebody who knows what they are talking about, we never put a long bar on a saw, 24" and we throw trees 5 ft. around. Heavier and more teeth to file.
Here is an example. Ms880 max RPM is 11,000. Ms390 is 13,000. Assuming that both have an 18" bar, wouldnt that make it slower/heavier/more gas to run the big saw? Why would you spin a crank that big to only use 50% of the intended torque? Also, more teeth means less wood cut per tooth, so the less sharpening theory doesnt really add up.
This kind of logic makes no sense to me. Why carry around a big heavy power head when it is only carrying a 20" bar? Much smaller saws can handle a 20 inch bar!
I've got both 660 and 390xp. Both kick ass. I feel the 660 has a touch more bottom end grunt, ie, torque, but the Husky 390 has more topened and runs a little better with more revs than the Stihl. It will get through thick wood faster. The stihl feels like it is a little more forgiving on the bottom end when you trying to grunt through a pinch spot. Both awesome, but at the end of the day, I feel like I can run a Husky of the same size a little bit longer without fatigue. The Stihl seems to "buzz" my arms and cause hand fatigue faster. Just my personal experience. Did alot of climbing and saw work when I was young a dumb. I liked stihls when I was off the ground, and Husky when I had my feet ont he ground.
30:36 "I like that saw to work for me...not me workin for the saw" So true. The right tools make life a lot more enjoyable. VS Having an aggravating day because of shortcuts on quality.
Great vid love the husky saw I'm running a 272xp 24" I'm 57yr old cut fire wood in the winter I can cut n split n stack a face cord in 45 min by my self with a split maul the young kids theses days it would take them over 2 hrs
God bless Mr. Larry & thank him from me for his service to our freedom and country. Awesome video! Good advice from coming from a professional. You made the biggins look like a walk in the park. Very inspiring. Thank you for your service and hard work as well. Later taters!
I'm just starting out logging but its something I truly love to do my uncle Larry been cutting for 45 years he's 61 years old and can out work most young men I'm 27 and barely can keep up. yea it takes a man to cut
Back in the 70's I ran a modified 2100 Husky. It was a beast until I let a friend use it, who dropped a tree on it. In the late 90's I bought the 395 XP. It cut good, but nothing like that 2100.
I have some property with a lot of cottonwood trees many that are 36" in diameter or larger. I will need to fell a few and cut up a lot of the logs. What bars length should I use for felling? (I'd likley use a 20" for limbing)
I buck logs like that 10 hours a day with limbs and branches that have to be removed. Stihl 661c 32 inch bar ,couldn’t do my job with a 20 inch bar,the fallers use 36 inch bars. West Coast ,British Columbia,Canada
Dan Hutchings I run my 066 with either a 32or a 36 inch bar,You can go up to a 42 inch on these saws. I’ve had to rip 7 ft spruce logs with an 088 or a 3120 and a 72 inch bar,too heavy to fly with the skycrane so we had to do lots of ripping on the hill
You should make a video o. The dangers of running the long bars. I'm curious. I want a x395 with a 36 inch bar for cutting slab but I have no idea where to start.
Bar length is debatable. Short bars dont bend as easy.but have fewer teeth. Depends alot on the work. If you cut pulp wood a short bar is all you need. But a long bar will run longer between sharpening. What i cut is fire wood left by big timber logers. All oak varieties, cherry, ash,and some locusts. Occasionally some huge hard and water maples. All well seasoned. I like a 3 foot bar for most of what i do. But i do have a 18" on a 54cc saw with me also. A Remington cast aluminium 1960 model with a roller nose. Heavy but it mostly sets anyway. Good demo thanks for sharing.
Now I am no expert but I have cut a few trees down. Saws are I think pure preference. You are rite tho Tim, Huskys do turn I think a higher RPM than a Stihl. I have nothing but Stihl saws. I have run Huskys before, but I don't like some things about those saws, they turn so fast, when you get into a piece of petrified locust, it just jumps around. Both are great saws, you can definitely get the job done with either. Even can go old style, and break out the old Homelite 1050 if you are really feeling like you need a work out.
Have u had any issues with your mufflers on your 395s. Any updates or tips on beefing them up. Any feedback is much appreciated. One logger to another. Always enjoy watching logging and running my own job even in tough times im facing.
You sure run a saw like I have never seen before. You hop over the logs like a young man. You are very talented and can teach a lot just with your videos. I am impressed.
They are both awesome saws! I have a Ms 461 which I call jaws! She runs like a convict escaping from a Mexican prison! Would love one of those two saws!!!
Are the oiler issues you talked about on all their saws? I had to take my 200T in because it wasn't oiling properly plus I was looking into the 661cm or the 500I. My 261cm, however, is a beast and haven't had any oiling problems.
I got away from the 395s, had a few issues like antivib mounts n shit. No problems with stihl after a few thousand hours a each year. I've got two 661s normally run 25", I run a good ol 660 with 36" bar on the mill. I try to buy a new saw each season but havnt kill one yet. Cheers
Larry is a amazing man. I use to run a 084 Stilh with a 72iin bar. Loved it. Hated starting it though. Especially when the compression release didn't work!
I don’t have any like that. I could do one but I use feel after I look at what I’m about to cut. I can read a saw through my hands like a love letter from a woman. It’s just from running one for long time.
My profession is not cutting timber but I can say without a doubt for me there's not a thing i can't go to the woods and handle with my 044 Stihl and my 395XP. 18" bar on my 044 takes care of 99% of what I do but when the need arises, my 395 is a beast! I need a 372XP to throw in the mix but I have a feeling the 044 would never get used after that.

I just want to say thank you guys for sharing these videos. I appreciate it.
I run a 395 husqvarna for years and it was only a 24 inch bar and I wouldn't run anything else after using it!! Awsome saw!!
Great video Tim. That was really nice what you did for Mr. Larry. Stay safe out there.
great video Tim , and thank you Mr. Larry for your service , be safe and have a blessed day !
I couldn’t let Hollis farms outdo me 😉
What a fun video to watch and what a great gesture to have Larry help. I have to agree with Larry,.Tim, you are a good guy!!!!!
Another great video. Mr Larry, thanks for your service to our country.

Lol
Thank you Larry for your service
We need more of him what a great guy
Mr. Tim, Here on the west coast, I run a 42 inch bar on my 395. I know the hardwoods slow down a chain much more than a Douglas Fir but wouldn’t it still be faster than making two cuts on the butt? I’m sure there is a good reason as to why you don’t use a bigger bar, Just wondering ...
Way to go Mr. Larry, and thank you for your service.
Tim, the biggest saw I ever owned was a Husqvarna 268 xp. That thing kicked like a mule. if you were bucking a log and the tip of the bar caught a twig, it was going where it wanted. Great Video and please thank Mr. Larry for his service for me.
I run a 28'' on my 372xp. A 20'' on a 555/562xps and 550xp. Long bars do serve their purpose. I would hate to tackle a gnarly 3 foot white pine with a 20'' bar... you got to be able to feel your hinge wood... especially when doing residential work.

I love my Stihls. 391 660 and even 290. I ocasionally still run my 090 for stuff over 4ft. But 660 and 661 with 24 inch is my everyday cutters.
090 now we're talking 👍
what year is that 395xp?
God bless Mr. Larry & thank him from me for his service to our freedom and country. Awesome video! Good advice from coming from a professional. You made the biggins look like a walk in the park. Very inspiring. Thank you for your service and hard work as well. Later taters!
I'm just starting out logging but its something I truly love to do my uncle Larry been cutting for 45 years he's 61 years old and can out work most young men I'm 27 and barely can keep up. yea it takes a man to cut

What knife do you belt carry?
Reeds custom cowboy knife. Look that up on Facebook and that’s how u order them.
Mr. Larry thank you for your years of service job well done
You should make a video o. The dangers of running the long bars. I'm curious. I want a x395 with a 36 inch bar for cutting slab but I have no idea where to start.
Great video Tim thanks for sharing have a great day
Grew up using Stihl's, couldn't give me any other saw. Can't say anything bad about the Husq's, never used one. Great video, cheers :)
I’m 75 and I’m a combat veteran from Vietnam 65/66 and I’m also a logger

I've got PTSD. Cutting trees is therapy! I'm a logger in the UK and use a 3120xp. Happy felling,.
Thanks that makes sense be safe in the woods my friend
You sure run a saw like I have never seen before. You hop over the logs like a young man. You are very talented and can teach a lot just with your videos. I am impressed.
those 660s never left me hanging. easy to fix and and performance with a 28" bar never got old.
They are both awesome saws! I have a Ms 461 which I call jaws! She runs like a convict escaping from a Mexican prison! Would love one of those two saws!!!
🤣
Poplar logs were likely used for interior trim boards. Large logs are also used for plywood core of premium cabinet plywood.
That is a serious wood chipper. Looks like fun! Saw has a great crisp sound.
Are the oiler issues you talked about on all their saws? I had to take my 200T in because it wasn't oiling properly plus I was looking into the 661cm or the 500I. My 261cm, however, is a beast and haven't had any oiling problems.
I got away from the 395s, had a few issues like antivib mounts n shit. No problems with stihl after a few thousand hours a each year. I've got two 661s normally run 25", I run a good ol 660 with 36" bar on the mill. I try to buy a new saw each season but havnt kill one yet. Cheers
I have a stihl 66 with a 32 inch bar, mostly used for ripping lumber, but i use it for huge logs also.
Another good video Tim,you boys got some bigguns,proud of our veterans amen
I don't believe the ole loader man is used to swinging that big wood thought he was gonna take that bolster out...😂😂 Thanks Mr. Larry!!!
Tim do you know any good place that you can send saws off to for a little bit more performance like porting and polishing work?
I have never had one of my saws worked on, all of mine are stock and I don’t know where to get that done.
Hoosierdirt27 there's a fit called hot saws on UA-cam he's a faller in Oregon and he does that kind of work
What chain do you use on that 395?
The best way to tell the difference between a feller and a Miller, the bar size for milling is longer
461 cm with a 25 " Sugi Hara. I love that bar!
Larry is a amazing man. I use to run a 084 Stilh with a 72iin bar. Loved it. Hated starting it though. Especially when the compression release didn't work!
I'm a sthil man ,i run a ms 391.that's big enough for my old azz.love ya video my hats off to ya Mr Larry.and Mr tim
391 is awesome. I had a 360 that was a flat out mean machine, but the damn oiler lines would melt daily. wtf.
My pop ran a homelite 1050 that thing was also a beast!
Great video! Pine tree dancing in the back ground at around 17:20 LOL
Do you have any videos for reducing chainsaw binding in big logs.
I don’t have any like that. I could do one but I use feel after I look at what I’m about to cut. I can read a saw through my hands like a love letter from a woman. It’s just from running one for long time.
I see your point.I run a saw like a dear John letter.I don't know I'm in a bind until after it's over.
😂😂😂😂
The chain on the STIHL is sharp !!!
Like cutting through hot butter !
My profession is not cutting timber but I can say without a doubt for me there's not a thing i can't go to the woods and handle with my 044 Stihl and my 395XP. 18" bar on my 044 takes care of 99% of what I do but when the need arises, my 395 is a beast! I need a 372XP to throw in the mix but I have a feeling the 044 would never get used after that.
Doesn't take much math to see a 20" bar will handle a 40" tree.
Not much math says a 42” would as well
CT3 and Larry making big chips, don’t get any better. Take care.
Awesome video. You did a good job on the camera Dad.
