Ken cracks me up. The 592 is a screamer, the 395 has a deeper tone. They both cut like a beast!!
Yes, you are correct!
It is always a hoot when you two are together.
We are together right now...HOOOOT HOOOOT!
@@InTheWoodyard You too are awesome!
No mortal man in his right mind wants to top trees and cut firewood with a 395/592! Then you have these two characters who seek out and wallow in the punishment!😀
Can't wait to see these saws in their real element and really shine in the Big Wood!👍
It’s really not that bad I run a 390xp.
@@waynejohnson9855 are you Dewayne Johnson! i’m bucking 30”-48” oaks over here most of the time with the 395 and after 3-4 hours i’m beat from picking that saw up.
@@njonebale7889 not dewayne and you have a lot of wood cut in that time. Cutting never bothered me it’s the splitting and handling that takes the energy.
We will be cutting some big stuff soon in Kens wood yard!
@@waynejohnson9855 i’m just joking with you, but you got that right, the muscling around the rounds and splitting will wear you out…actually everything about firewood will tucker you out !
Never a dull moment when Ken is around!
Yup!
I was looking at those 592’s I have 2 395’s right now they’re fast cutters. But at the end of the day you feel it. A lot of guys will tell you to put a big bar on a 372 with a skip chain, but I would never go back from my purchase of this saw. Will run full buck full chisel or square ground chain and pull like nothing else. Love these saws. 👍
i have most of the husky saws, couple 372’s and i got the 572 because of chris’s channel and i just run .050 full skip chains on all these 24” saws, and there close, but the 372’s are just stronger and faster, you can hear the lag as soon as his 592 hit the wood and the 572 is the same, then it comes to life, the 372 and 395 saws just eat wood quicker and faster…he’s not getting me this time…i’m buying another 395!
@@njonebale7889 cutting wood with a 395 is like climbing hills with a CR500. They just cut 😉
@@SoCalMisfit712 500 mako!
I would agree with that!
My 592 was not sharp, but the 395 is a great saw for sure!
Great video guys. I anxiously await the head to head comparison. I also think Kenny has the Scheib yell down!
Yes he does!
Thanks for doing this video and thank the camera person (whoever they are!).
That was my other brother for some of the video.
Using that wedge as a chain stopper while hand scharpening is a good trick, I will use it the next time I touch up the chains on my 353 and 372
Yes it does work well!
You guys are both great. Down to earth and real. I love your assessment of both.
Since I have both saws, And have a 28 inch full comp on the 592 and a 32 inch full skip on the 395, I get asked comparison questions all the time. I wanted to offer my crude comparison and I would love your opinion having run both yourselves.
Being 61 years old and having been fortunate enough to have owned a 1968 Plymouth satellite with the 426 hemi engine, I compare the 395 to an American big block eight cylinder engine and I compare the 592 to a turbo charged Porsche.
The balance point on both my size is precise and perfect because of the bar geometry that I chose for each one. That being said the 592 is definitely lighter and using each of them for hours, I noticed that. However what I also noticed is that the 592 has far more torque and runs at a higher RPM and it’s simply able to go through wood faster. How ever, the 395 Feels like it has a little more power through very dense and hardwood. Both saws are excellent and will eat through anything quickly. But that is the only difference that I notice. They also start quickly and are easy to start because I follow the protocol which is far different for each saw. I would love your opinions on this. Thank you
Yup, I agree, the 395 is like a Harley and the 592 is a crotch rocket.
@@InTheWoodyard Thank you for your response. It “feels” that way in your hands.
I love it when you two get together. 👍
Thanks Dan, we are together right now!
Chris you and Kenny are the A-Team can’t wait to see the big would keep on cutting
Thanks Joseph!
Morning Fellas, couple of boys having fun at dads. Like going to the Steakhouse and trying to decide between the Porterhouse or the Prime Rib. Both Great, can’t go wrong with either one, awesome saws. Kens Banshee war cry-second to none. Take care
Yup, he has a great woooooooo!
Nice saws boys!!! Love the orange myself, though I do still have one with white on it!!!! Looking forward to seeing them chew up some that big wood !!!!
You will soon!
Both saws are beasts!! I’m betting there’s not much difference in them. Chris your saw probably won’t be running the best until it gets fully broken in either🤷♂️ Great to see you guys back at it👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Yes, they are very similar.........AWESOME!
@@InTheWoodyard they would be a little better if they had some white on them..ha🤣
Great Vid Chris and Ken! I'm looking forward to seeing you compare the saws in the big stuff at Kens! now I'm gonna go celebrate my Birthday Stacking Wood!! GNI !
Thanks and have an extra drink for me! Happy birthday!
Two great saws. Similar, but different. Like Kenny's underhand filing-different strokes for different folks. GNI
Yup, I agree!
You too are a great team! Hoping to see you to together working with a processor!
Maybe some day!
Two powerful orange saws without any white and after Kenny’s file touch up his will surely bite. Nice job boys. Just a tich of difference between them.
Yes, Kens was a titch sharper!
@@InTheWoodyard Has Kenny had any experience with the new X-cut chain? I’ve been impressed with how well it stays sharp on my new 572xp.
Both saws cut extremely well. Think with Kenny touching his chain up but him at a slight advantage. Have a Safe Day
Yes, his saw was sharper!
My kind of video!!!! Love Kenny's sharpening scenes...nothing like hand filing a chain with a fresh file. Both saws are fantastic workhorses
🪓❤🪵🇺🇸❤🪓🌳🪓🪓🪵🌲❤🪓
Thanks!
I couldn't tell the difference.. But that is ok with me since it's great watching saws run... Just like a good automobile running on the track..😁👍
Great point!
Ran a 395, is no joke on power. Is in a league of its own compared to the 660 and 390 saws. Wouldn't want to run one all day long for bucking small wood. After you buck the "King Kong" wood that Kenny has the wood you get probably will seem like toothpicks.
Yeah I can't wait to see the difference for big heavy wood. Maybe how the light bar would reduce fatigue for such long cuts.
Yes, he has some real big stuff you will see soon!
Yes, my new saw is lighter!
Morning gents, Kennys chainsaw looked like it was cutting through butter…definitely sharper! Kenny you must teach ole Scheib (Outside with Scheib) how to ‘howl’ properly!!
Yup, ken can wooooo pretty good!
Those saws both cut pretty fast, either you guys are really great chain sharpeners, or they are great saws....or both. Nice video.
Thanks Jean, some of both I hope!
Well at the end of the day looks like you had a great time with your brother Kenny! Keep up the great videos.
Yup, we always have a great day together!
Hi Chris what would you charge per hour to split and chop someone’s wood pile. Taking round my saw and splitter. I said £20 per hour. I am not professional just an avid woodsman
With your equipment $40-50 an hour at least, more like $60-80! How much do mechanics charge, or plumbers???
Ever try Black Widow files? Got a pack of 12 to wear out. The 395 is like Sam Elliot, deep voice and performs well (his acting skills). The 592xp is like the new kid on the block, gotta prove itself as valuable to the team (of saws in your collection). When my G288 dies I'll probably get the 592xp. With my luck it will wear out when the 2nd gen 592xp comes out.
Good observation!
Chaps, we don't need no stinking chaps. Lol
Yes,...... we do!
I really enjoyed the the 592xp i demoed . But still love the 395
Yup, they are both nice!
When Kenny works he attacks it ! Lol Good man. Chris are you and Kenny going beaver trapping this year? Sure did enjoy last year’s video’s
Thanks, we are beaver trapping right now!!!
I am guessing Ken gave his rakers a couple extra strokes to make the chain bite deeper. Smart.
Yes, his chain was sharp too, mine was not.
Great video it sounds like the 592 revs higher
Yes, she screams!
You need to get your brother a golf ball handle for that file. Take a golf ball and drill a hole in it. I think it is a 3/8 , drill maybe a quarter of the way through it. Take a nut. 1/4 or5/16. Place it on the hole and squeeze it in with your shop vice
He probably would not use it, he is that way.
Looks like both of them are good cutting saws
yes they are!
Like the comparison. Nice saws there gentleman
Thanks But it was a Ken-parison.
@@InTheWoodyard you are right. I do apologize to the pun gods lol
G’morning Chris ! Hello Kenny. 2 great saws. Nicely done. GoodNightIrene.
Thanks Corey!
Great show as usual!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mike you make it look so easy
Thanks for watching Jack!
What's the difference between the 5 series and the 3 series?
The main thing is auto tune.
you two are awesome team....
Thanks for watching!
I would be quite happy owning either saw.
Yes, they both cut!
Imagine if Ken knew how to sharpen a saw!!! lol Cuts like butter!
Yes, he knows how!
I can’t lie watching that sharpening was hard to watch, especially the rakers 😂
Kenny is getting the gullet... lol Bucking Billy Ray
Yup, he has been doing that for about 40 years now.
Good question, and is one highly debated. With a brand new saw is it best to run it for a tank or two in smaller wood of say 12in or less before letting it rip in the big wood? Some people think you need to idle a saw for a full tank first, which is bonkers.
Just heat cycle a couple times and go for it 👍😏
I was told by the deal, to just cut!
Yup!
Another good video thanks friend
Thanks David!
Both very good
Yup!
The 3 or 4 pounds of difference is the only Dif I see, so I will tick with my 395xp, although the hopped up or walkerized could lead me the other way. Thank you for the REAL DEMO,
Thanks!!
These saws compare to the 661 in the Stihl lineup right?
Yes same class the stihl feels a little lighter but the 395 to me has more power, and 5 more cc I believe. I ran a 661 for a couple days and I like my 395 better. But I’m a husky guy 🤷🏼♂️
Yes, pretty much.
Yup!
My friend has a 661 Stihl. It’s a good sore, but the 395 is noticeably stronger and has far more torque. I haven’t ran my new 592 against the 661, but I imagine it would be the same thing. Also I noticed that when my saw was hot, it started right up and his was tricky. The 661 is still a great saw
I’m a hand filer as well but I’ve never hit the rakers. What does that do exactly? GNI 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
They are the depth gauge for the tooth. As important as sharpening the chain.
It adjusts the depth of your cut, it makes a bigggggg difference.
Yup!
The 395 is like a Mack truck, and the 592 is like a Peterbuilt. Both are powerful saws. If yours was sharper there probably wouldn’t have been any real difference. The 395 sounds like it has more low end torque and doesn’t hit the revs like the 592.
I was thinking the same thing, might have been the chains with the 395 having to grunt a little more off the bottom. But the 592 does sound like it gets a little more top end 👍
I agree!
Yup!
Kenny is an animal!! 🤣💪💪 WOOOOO! sounds like Scheib!! 🤘🍻🍻 on another note, did i see some hare tracks around the base of that 2nd tree as Kenny was cutting it down?
Probably, there are a lot of squirrels and rabbits there.
Great video Chris. Always fun when Ken is on the scene 😀. Do you ever run a skip tooth chain? After trying my first skip tooth, I've never bought another type for my larger saws since. Have a blessed day!
people just don’t get it with the skip tooth chains, i much rather sharp half as many less teeth!
I have not Ken has and he did not like it much.
I need to give one a try!
On bars 28in length or less full-comp chain cuts faster. Now in the 32in and up bar length, especially in softwoods, skip-tooth chain helps keep the cut clear of the chips n noodles better. Not sure on how skip-tooth affects cleaning of the cut using a 32in or longer bar in hardwoods.
Remember, each cutter on a skip-tooth chain will wear faster than the cutters on a full-comp chain as the cutters on a skip-tooth have more work to do.
Good morning
Hello Bill!
Really nice saws but my needs and wants bell keeps going off .
Yes, I understand!
Semper Fi guys good show
Thanks Tom!
Saw your dad in the background, hope he’s doing well!
That was my other brother.
The Woooooooo! Must be kennys trademark, or he's a big Rick flare fan. 🤣😂👍
He has done that for his whole life!

Dan I was going to say that you probably lifted Tony's spirit when you called him your new best friend. After all Chris did dump him for another!!!! Lol great job Tony!!! You guys have a wonderful day!
WOW...........😆😆😆 I Wish I had TONY for a New Best Friend !
HAAAAA!
You can he is a great guy!
Gmorning Chris, nice saw! I think the new channel should be all the bloopers and out takes that are not quite rated PG for the general audience. I'm sure you have enough content for a few videos. 😆
Great idea!
👍👍
Thanks Bill!
👍
Thanks!
The 395 seems to be way out of stock while you still can find the 592 here in germany
I would ask you is that because they might phase the 395XP out like some countries did the 3120XP or because they are concentrated on replacing the 395XP with the 592XP? I have both and prefer the 592XP do to the side tensioner and when sharp seems to out cut the 395XP and wears me out less. Both amazing saws.
I raced to the local dealer and bought one of their 395's. Not a good way to be a "consumer" but it's how things are these days. Leaf blowers are even hard to get.
Yes, that sounds about right here too.
You might be right!
Yup, you are right!
Kenny makes saws look fast. He just touched the saw to the tree and he was on to the next cut.
Yup, that is production cutting!
I like my saws to have a little white on them but I must say both your saws ran good. Can we still be friends 😁🍻
Yes we can!
I got confused today watching back 40 firewood this afternoon / it was WTF this isn't In The Woodyard channel. Tony showing off cutting skills and toys. Looks like Tony has a new best friend 🤣
Tony is a traitor going to the left side of the state like that, he should be ashamed! HAAAA!
Chris is the new channel going to be called
“I’m in Chains”?
Nope, you will see!
I like big saws and I cannot lie.
Me too!
They are really the exact same. Everywhere you look at comparison... same! Both Orange!
Yup and they cut!
Noticeably higher rpms on the 592.
Yes, I think so.to bad it was not sharp.
Love 2 see your dad xx
Yup, us too!
some might say cutting up two 16" trees with a pair of 90+ cc saws is overkill. Lol.
Yup, but that was the only tree we had available that day, we will do more soon!
El Cheapo bro should go get a Holzfforma G395XP for $350.
Nice job guys Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
395xp 😀
Yup, they are both nice saws.
I like y0u guys saws i have a 460 rancher
That is a good saw!
@@InTheWoodyard i like y0ur chainsaws better th0 m0re p0wer!
Not sure, but the 592 bark seems worse than the bite.
No, it cuts great, I just got it and only had a couple tanks through it at the time.
Ok, Thanks
Perfect example of how to not sharpen or run saws lol!!
Yup, we are just learning, we have only cut and sold 500-600 face cords a year EACH for the last 30 years or so and hand cut timber for every weekend for extra work for about as long, some day we will learn.
@@InTheWoodyard well well your expert then my bad lol!! Just your on the biggest platform and been doing it for 30 years each and still just go through motions winging it!!
592 definitely sounds like it revs harder.
Yup, it is faster!
@@InTheWoodyard I got to check one out today ,2500$ here in Australia.I was pleasantly surprised at how light they where and it was a standard bar on it.absolutely screams compared to 395 ,be interesting to see if it’s up to the task like a 395 to rip Ozzie hard wood fence posts.thanks for the reply.
I think of they are both real close I'll take the one that's 5 lbs lighter!! GNI
Yes me too!
The old by knows how O sharpen a chain
yup!
The only difference I could tell was an audible difference. The 592 is a little higher pitched but they both seem to cut great
I would agree with that!
I for get Newyork or california gas chain saws spliters weed wackers are ILLEGAL
@Happycamper- Coruptifornia, but not yet a few years, I’ll be out of here by then. Maybe that BIG quake will hit and it will finally break off and fall into the Pacific!
Good for you Mike, get out and don't look back!
California, soon!
LMAO..........Hey Chris, I told you that you should have given Tony that New hat from Eastonmade. Now TONY has a New Best Friend Dan @ Back 40 🤣🤣Hey Chris guess who is at Dan's place cutting down trees. Check out Dan's video today !😆 You are now TONY's Old new best friend ! Great Job Tony !
Tony is a traitor!!!!!!
@@InTheWoodyard 🤣😄😆😅😂😄😁🤣🤣🤣
Hi chris your brother saw is shaped it cut fast
Yes his saw was sharp mine was not!
God Chuck use the gauge
If you NEED to yup, if you know how to know....you don't.
I think 395 is faster.❤
I think the opposite???
Skip tooth chains are great for big wood faster to sharpen. But for cutting limbs they grab to much wood almost like it is trying to rip it apart instead of sawing it.
That is what I have heard!
Got them both the 395 is hard to start
I would agree with that!
There is a technique for the 395. It was a small learning curve for me. I have both saws as well. If you don’t follow the protocol on the 395, it will be a kittle harder to start. I live in Georgia and I got literally the first 592 XP sold in Georgia. A lot of people I know, including video chainsaw star cotton top have had issues with the 592 starting. There is a protocol with those as well with the auto tune. No matter who makes them and however you look at it, two cycle engines can be temperamental and moody. Auto tune or not. I’m originally from the Northeast, the hot humid southern weather has its advantages and drawbacks on these engines, sodas the cold New England weather. I look forward to doing more work with each of these saws side-by-side. I have a 32 inch X - tough light bar on the 395 and I have a 28 inch X - tough light bar on the 592. The balance point of each side with these bars is insane. I do a lot of plunge cutting so having a super balanced saw, especially with these heavy saws, is wonderful and really saves your back at the end of the day.
I don't know why you would want to have a dull chain on your saw around your brother Kenny.
I was not dull, it was just not sharp.
Good morning Chris and Kenny!!😀😀
I just like both of the saws even though I'm a Stihl guy. LOL!!
Take care my friends!!😀😀❤
Logger Al
Thanks Al!
Ese amigo no sabe afilar la cadena es un novato no es motoserrista profesional
Sorry, I only know English.

thanks!
