044 was the saw that got me into saws. An old logger friend was moving and gave me a blown up 044 for free to rebuild and that's where it all began for me
I have a 1991 034 that i ran wide open all day felling timber in Colorado , and never rebuilt and still running great. Those were great years for Stihl and Husky
394 xp is a brutal machine. I have two. one is new to me and the other has done a lot of work and still works flawlessly. 394 is a monster of a machine
I grabbed one just last night for $160 at a local pawn shop. It needed a pull cord and handle, slight carb adjustment, and she started ripping up some White Oak like a hot knife through butter.
I started logging with a beat up 562, crank shaft sheered off after a long list of other small things happened. Kept it as a back up saw. Went to the 575 and it wasn’t enough power for how much heavier it was and also had little issues with it. Got myself a 394 from 1997 and fell in LOVE. I use it every day now and will forever!
Great content tinman, I have an 044 I inherited when my father passed. I'll never get rid of it. That old saw has cut a many cord of firewood. Keep up the great work
It’s beautiful watching you cut those logs like butter, the 394 was impressive, but I got so much love and nostalgia for the 044. My logging buddy and mentor had a 044 magnum saw that he used to teach me and pass on knowledge about dangerous felling, fixing saws, milling planks without a milling jig. It’s like comparing classic cars and trucks, the best one is a personal and magical thing, and everyone has a different opinion. Thank you again for sharing the fun and inspiration
Hey tinman, thanks for sharing the experience with these gerat saw's! The 044 drives me back to an time when i was in the woods with my father. Him and me and the ol stihl - great times. I still have that saw and I think i will take her to the woods again, now with my sons. Thanks!
TimMan is right. The early 1990's was a good time for saws. I trust your opinion on this one @Bobby Scott The 044 was the lightest of this class of Stihl 4 class saws.
@@jamiedalluge9472 Yep, The 371 had little more power and the 044 was about 1/2 pound lighter. Old Stihl saws are like the gold of chainsaws. Kinda like CAT parts. They are painted gold because they coast more than gold.
The 044’s had that high rev...sharpened right they were super fast...just couldn’t let them get dull and push them under their power curve... I’ve always been a 371 guy but they definitely have a place of respect in my mind...like the 026... I was a 346- ported 350-353 guy but the 026 deserves it’s props too...
@@DaveyBlue32 Yep, They are all good saws. I really think it depends on the work you are doing. Are you cutting in steep mountains in soft wood all day. Or maybe in hardwood on flat ground. Most of the time I'm on very steep ground and in soft wood. But I do get time on hardwoods as well in WV on steep hills. When I can I pick the chain, bar, and powerhead for what I cutting that day.
lol, how nice. i had the prblem that on my cheap saw the blade was rattling up and down like crazy. i ground it out even more and made a pin pretty much exactly the same as you have on your husky. seems that was and is a pretty smart idea 🙂 now i got a 044 form 1989. it allmost my age. very nice beast, i love her.
Just a beautiful demonstration of two classics! While I am commenting, just curious if anyone else, like me, takes the rakers down a little lower than usual when noodling? 👍💪
Both those saws are awesome, I hate wearing gloves as well, thanks for the videos I always look forward to them. I think I need a 394xp in my life ha ha., 😁
Both great saws! I need to find me another 394/395. I miss them and my 3120. That 394 of yours is beautiful!!! I love the 044 too! It makes me giggle every time I run mine!
Hi Tinman!!😀😀 The o44 is a fabulous saw . I used to log in the early 90s with a 044 . Those saws were so dependable. Day after day week after week month after month and you never had to do anything to them except blow them out once in a while and keep the air filter clean. Wish I still had those saws but I traded them off for 046 and then I went to the ms460. I really love the ms460 and will probably never need to ever get any different saws in the 75cc class. Take care my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al
If you haven't tried the 462c m yet, you definitely should. That saw has torque all over the RPM range. You can set it in the wood screaming and it hardly looses any revs. It just pulls and pulls and pulls
I have a 61 with a 24” bar. I love it. I bought it in 1992. Only problem with it was a broken carburetor gasket. I run a skip tooth chain with a little off the rakers. It loves the wood.
I love my dump find 394, all use it for is spliting big wood just like you did in this video. I have put it in the alasken mill works well. but man when you start a 394 you feel it right ion the middle of the chest it just feels and sounds strong.
Tinman, You are a young buck compared to me, but no lie, I still remember about 10 years ago when I was 50, a 75 year old man who would come into our local small town breakfast joint, was limping a bit. He said he fell out of a tree while doing some trimming on his property. That guy lives life to the fullest.
@tinmanssaws I know this is an older video, but as an update on my last post, I wanted to wish you and your wife well after hearing that your daughter had to get her arm in a cast. I also wanted to say how as a novice saw operator who began with a Stihl 026 in 1994 as my only saw until roughly 5-7 years ago, I had always wanted an 044 and 066 to compliment it.
As I learned more about how saws are built and are supposed to operate optimally with good seals, tuned and sharpened right, etc. I now have knowledge I lacked from starting with a brand new saw. I learned about gummed up fuel systems to get my 026 running again, got a 2nd 026 then an 044 and a 660 back around 2017-2018. Now, my first Husky I mentioned yesterday, the 394. At a month shy of 60, I look forward to getting back into regular sawing as I seek to tidy up our trees that threaten our home, outbuildings and vehicles.
Both of them are great I personally on both on the other hand I’d have to argue that the 372XP is the best chainsaw ever made and the MS 200t is the best top handle ever made Just my opinion though
We have tons of Stihl saws at work and I'm not a fan of any of them. I prefer using my own Husky's than a company saw. The 044 however is one of my favorite saws of all time. Thanks for sharing.
Hey man! Great videos. So much good info, tips and entertainment. I'm picking up so much useful tips here and there from them all, and it's highly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and share with us. Hope you have a great weekend
Hey tinman love the content as always!! I also have a 394xp mine has a 395 top end as mine was wrecked when I got it. I absolutely love that saw pulls alot.
This weeks been alittle rought then others works kicked my ass an taken my lunch money haha. But It always amazing to come home an sit down an enjoy some tinman an the community
026 with a 13 inch bar, 038 super with a 20 inch bar, and the trusted 044 with a 25 inch are my pride and joys, I have other saws but if I had to cut down to just 3 saws it would be those 3 I would grab first. I have newer stihls including a ms261 and ms460 to name a couple but the zero series saws from the late 80s/early 90s just run and run and run.
I've got the same bar, chain, and dogs on my 394. The saws are animals. I got the dogs with the replacement full wrap handlebar. The differences, my saw is BEAT UP. I bought it as such for a very good price. It came with a parts saw. The stock 7-pin sprocket was in tough shape, missing pieces and all. So bought an 8-pin for it. It still pulls, buried, with that 8-pin just as well as it did with the 7-pin. Your 394 seems to have the same chain speed that mine does with the 8-pin. That may be the difference between the 2095 and your 394.
I have ran a lot of Stihls and Huskys. I really like Stihls 462, its an impressive saw. The 70cc size range of saw is where its at. Tinman, too old? Youre crazy man!
Myself I have numerous Sthill and husky saws. In my opinion the 046 is very noticeable more powerful than the 044. I've got the 044 12mm ms440 and ms441m tonic And I've got the 046, 460 and 461. I've ported all of them over time and in my case the 046 was slightly quicker than the others. The more annular design of the 461s transfers do use noticeably less fuel that the other 77cc saws. I am more of a Stihl fan but none of these will compete with my 395xp it's just too big. Now my 066 flat top is almost a dead match with my 395xp. The husky is slightly larger in displacement,3 or 4 cc I think.please dont attack me I'm not trying to knock any brand. Though I'm a stihl fan I am forced to accept the fact that the 395xp may be the greatest chainsaw ever made. I absolutely love your vids by the way.
Large Cotter Pin to the rescue! I love to pound the eye flat and use them in my Foredom with a little 1”x3” strips of emery to make a nice little flapper to polish up my port window’s... 😂👍. Bush league or Geter’ Done, Son! If it works it’s great in my book! Rock on!!!
I have been a Stihl guy for long time. Back in the day the Pro lines of of the 036, 044, 066 and 084's were the saws to run. Still think on the mid size saw the 044 of that day was the saw to run. Best all around might have been the 066.
Other things that you can make an adapter out of; An old Starter Spring is partially hardened and already flat so its easy to bend the ends in and make an 'S' adapter. Also, an old piece of 3/8 metal fuel line cut in short pieces to fit over the bar studs will help 5/16 bar studs fit a 3/8 bar.
I picked up an abused 044 from a hunt club about a year ago. Had some stripped out bolt holes on recoil side that i retapped. Has some minor scoring on piston, but im not ready to tear it apart yet. Id enjoy seeing you get into tearing the 044 down and working on it, if you ever felt like doing a vid on that. Thanks!
@Tinman's saws I picked up a stock 044. I have run many of them in the past but they where all the bosses muscle saw or a coworkers muscle saw. (AKA a old mans saw :-) good 50' up in the tree. What we call a "Princess" A backup in-case someone breaks their work saw. ) ....I'm a old man now. It was time :-) The 064/066 and 394, etc That's been the bread and butter.
The 94 typically runs better than the 95. I used to work on Amish saws. They usually liked Jonsered, but some of them liked the Huskies on the big stuff. A saw typically would last one to two years. Had one trade his 394 in on a 395. We caught hell for that one. My boss ended up taking the saw back, and finding him a NOS 394.
I've ran an o44 for 4 years now falling hardwood in ontario. In my opinion a port job on the saw with a 20 inch bar won't make the difference guys are looking for. If you want more speed put an 8 tooth drive sprocket on the girl and watch her chew. I've eaten lots of 461 stihls with mine. Dont believe me ask the ironhorse. Great video tinman!
044 best saw ever made. Power to weight you cant beat. I logged with a bunch of different saws and the 044 was the one i use for everything. Enough power to fall/buck and light enough to limb with. Port that sucker and send it to bucking to test run he will.be a stihl man lpl
That 394 sounds like a beast I'm a stihl fan from Ohio Found your channel looking to modifying nitro engine been watching your channel for few months 👍
Have a 044 it's an early 12mm as has the slanted fins on jug has a dual port can full wrap handle high flow airfilter and full clutch cover.372XP and 346XP
Get you some chain mail gloves the way you're constantly mangling your hands! Just a tip from your favorite safety dique! That 394 is a friggin banshee!
Nice arrangement on the t handles buddy looks good, love 044 want one bad, and obviously a 394..but I cant justify a 394 in foreseeable future but I'd hop on a good deal 044 busted so i could build it like i want and it b cheaper if its broke lol
Cool video I’m new you thank Buckin and Ironman that why I tried your channel but you are so cool I’m Stihl man but the Husky is some back bone keep up the great work
More space on the 394 than the 044 and the shape of that rubber-guide in the back of the 044's sprocketcover seems to catch the chips. Same issue on the 026 and so on, cause generally they all share the same cover. The advantsge is, that you can easily upgrade to that "never-get-lost" screws by changing the chainbar-studs to the longer ones from e.g. new MS362 C-M and fitting the older(big) Cover from the MS261 (with that screws) but be aware: the new covers (witht that horizontal finns) do NOT fit!
044 was the saw that got me into saws. An old logger friend was moving and gave me a blown up 044 for free to rebuild and that's where it all began for me
Damn that husky was ripping some boot laces out of that log!! Impressive!!
I have a 1991 034 that i ran wide open all day felling timber in Colorado , and never rebuilt and still running great. Those were great years for Stihl and Husky
The best years, really. Stihl insisted on chasing Husqvarna, and the consumer suffered.
My 044s and 066s are long gone but my 34 super that was my climbing saw and not used much is still here and still a little beast. 👍🏼
The 044 is the legend Stihl saw in my area. A 394 and a 2100 have to be the most awesome idling saws ever. Music to my ears
Popular saw around me is the poulan wild thing, all the tree guys run it, you know you’ve got it made with a wild thing
394 xp is a brutal machine. I have two. one is new to me and the other has done a lot of work and still works flawlessly. 394 is a monster of a machine
044 is a legend, 394 has the tail wag at idle...both great saws. Thanks for sharing. Have a kick ass weekend brother.
I just picked up a 044 10mm for $100 and it runs great , its my go to saw
I grabbed one just last night for $160 at a local pawn shop. It needed a pull cord and handle, slight carb adjustment, and she started ripping up some White Oak like a hot knife through butter.

Hard to beat an old saw! I just rebuilt my Dads 041 from 1979. Runs like a champ!

I always loved the handling of the 044 with 20” bar. 👍🏽
I’ve run an 036 and it is so lovely. I’d love an 044. They have a classic sound
I have had two 036 and an 041 av. I still have an 036 and looking for an 044.

I used to run lower rakers then I do now. My rakers have been getting higher over the years and I find my chains cut faster with taller rakers.
I'm a Husqvarna guy by preference. The Stihl 044 was the big saw on the 1st tree crew I worked on, a great saw no doubt.
Been trying to find an 044 in good shape for a while. Awesome saws.
I love that 394
Makes me feel the need to carb kit mine to get it tip top again
Today
Both those saws are awesome, I hate wearing gloves as well, thanks for the videos I always look forward to them. I think I need a 394xp in my life ha ha., 😁
Are they still at the dealers ?
No I don't think so.
The old tickle trunk lol ,,great video TINMAN HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT long weekend
Listening to that 394 is like music to my ears this fine Saturday morn. Another Great video. Thx Tinman

If you haven't tried the 462c m yet, you definitely should. That saw has torque all over the RPM range. You can set it in the wood screaming and it hardly looses any revs. It just pulls and pulls and pulls
I have a 394 that I need a jug for. Man those things are sweet saws and sound so good.
Oh my! That 394 is impressive!
Nice to see the old 94 cutting, it sounds the way a 2 stroke should. Cheers man!!
Great Video music to my ears both saws are fantasic take care. . Thanks
I own a 044 and 394xp both legendary and solid saws. I have had them both ten plus years and both have yet to give me any problems !
I’m loving your channel mate. So much knowledge for us. Thank you so much
I have a 61 with a 24” bar. I love it. I bought it in 1992. Only problem with it was a broken carburetor gasket. I run a skip tooth chain with a little off the rakers. It loves the wood.
Nice bit of noodling there Tinman!! Love the 394 XP
It's the cat's pajamas!
I have a mastermind 044 and also have a 394 . Love them
I swear, Husky has probably the best sounding saws.
Those are excellent saws, Tinman!
Thanks for showing them off.
love a big saw gotta love all all the saw dust
Late 80’s early 90’s was the best time for chainsaws . Don’t forget the Dolmar saws they were nice and full of torque
Nice saws Tinman! Ive yet to run the 394 at my company, we always use the 661 mag for big removals but the big ol husky is calling my name
Love the cotter pin shim trick!!
Umm ok lol I own a ported 044 but damn that 394 doesn’t even drop rpm in the cut!! Straight up bottom end torque!! Love it!!
Nice video!!

What we call a "Princess" A backup in-case someone breaks their work saw. ) ....I'm a old man now. It was time :-)
The 064/066 and 394, etc That's been the bread and butter.
Good to see another 94 workin 8)
They got to make liquid cooled chainsaws!
The 94 typically runs better than the 95. I used to work on Amish saws. They usually liked Jonsered, but some of them liked the Huskies on the big stuff. A saw typically would last one to two years. Had one trade his 394 in on a 395. We caught hell for that one. My boss ended up taking the saw back, and finding him a NOS 394.
394 is nutz
There is only one chainsaw manufacturer out there, tho lots try nothing compares to Stihl, 044 and 026 are my favorites
I've ran an o44 for 4 years now falling hardwood in ontario. In my opinion a port job on the saw with a 20 inch bar won't make the difference guys are looking for. If you want more speed put an 8 tooth drive sprocket on the girl and watch her chew. I've eaten lots of 461 stihls with mine. Dont believe me ask the ironhorse. Great video tinman!
044 best saw ever made. Power to weight you cant beat. I logged with a bunch of different saws and the 044 was the one i use for everything. Enough power to fall/buck and light enough to limb with. Port that sucker and send it to bucking to test run he will.be a stihl man lpl
Great saws TinMan! 🤩🤩
That 394 sounds like a beast I'm a stihl fan from Ohio
Found your channel looking to modifying nitro engine been watching your channel for few months 👍
Have a 044 it's an early 12mm as has the slanted fins on jug has a dual port can full wrap handle high flow airfilter and full clutch cover.372XP and 346XP
Get you some chain mail gloves the way you're constantly mangling your hands! Just a tip from your favorite safety dique!
That 394 is a friggin banshee!
Awesome video! Makes me want to go sink my 394 into some wood 💪
Nice arrangement on the t handles buddy looks good, love 044 want one bad, and obviously a 394..but I cant justify a 394 in foreseeable future but I'd hop on a good deal 044 busted so i could build it like i want and it b cheaper if its broke lol
I subbed bud keep up the good work
Cool video I’m new you thank Buckin and Ironman that why I tried your channel but you are so cool I’m Stihl man but the Husky is some back bone keep up the great work
Thank you!!!!
That 394 was bailing chips/noddles out, there must be more space between cases? Great video, thanks for all sharing 👍👏🇬🇧
More space on the 394 than the 044 and the shape of that rubber-guide in the back of the 044's sprocketcover seems to catch the chips. Same issue on the 026 and so on, cause generally they all share the same cover. The advantsge is, that you can easily upgrade to that "never-get-lost" screws by changing the chainbar-studs to the longer ones from e.g. new MS362 C-M and fitting the older(big) Cover from the MS261 (with that screws) but be aware: the new covers (witht that horizontal finns) do NOT fit!
044 and husky 61/266 and jonsered 630/670 ruled manitoba in the glory days.
Bloody violent video.
