48" and 395

[sierratree]

Think a 395 has enough to pull a 48" with skip (404)? Seems to pull my 42" no prob. but a 48 is kind of a leap from 42.

All day long, no problem.

I would say that it depends on the kind of wood you use it in.
In Scandinavian hardwoods, no way!

I don't know why it wouldn't .It's just wee bit less in cc's than a 2100 which is rated to pull a 60" .

That's the same combo I'm running on my 394, Al; 48" .404 skip. Pulls fine in our New England hardwoods, even.

I doubt seriously if hardwoods in the north country of Europe are any harder than ours . Then too Husqvarna is Swedish and certainly doesn't just cater just to north America . Although most likely simplely because of the size of the wood they wouldn't often be used with long bars .Once again though even in the this country a long bar doesn't see much usage .

Geeze though in trying to find a 48" for an 084 Stihl the prices certainly have gone up from several years ago,wow .

I would say yes but I think the saw would be happier with a 42".

So long as the tip is not buried. Shouldn't be a problem at all.
