Holzfforma g395 Why Size Matters? Holzfforma g395 HTSS Felling Maple & One Year Review

- Couple of thing demonstrated here.
1) Just sometimes a big displacement saw, even a heavy one makes the job easier.
2) Health matters It's really hard to focus and do that extra 10 percent to get stuff right when in pain.
3) That g395 is proving to be a work ready saw.... time in the woods is piling up , money coming in as a result and it's not showing anything but that run time makes it run better.
What I did to that saw:
1) Put a Lil' Red Barn Popup Piston in to replace the stock piston that had no taper, therefore rattled. BAD. Newer versions don't, mine was one of if not the first one to cross that lake.
2) OEM full wrap kit
3) OEM muffler bolts, a MUST do thing, the ones on it were really soft
4) HTSS muffler mod to keep the exhaust & chips out of my face.
5) No base gasket, three bond 1184 build. Net compression then we 160lbs.
6) OEM decomp.
THOSE were the changes and that saw hasn't missed a beat since.
Funny thing. A few years ago I watched your video with a 395 and I bought one. I am glad I bought it and use it quite a bit every year. Thanks for your time and effort using different saws so people like me can make a decision on what to buy
I went with a wemars 6220. The 62cc was good for me. I did buy a 28" bar I use sometimes though. :)
I love the 395xp in my opinion it’s the best saw they have ever built besides the 372.
The 572 works hard to cut big hardwood timber. The 592 allows me to "chase cut". Size does matter.
I think its been just a fantastic autumn so far! Maybe a little more rain down here would be good.
I'm waiting for my blue 395 to show up soon too.😊
Another fine day in the woods well done walt
Thanks to you, I NEED a G395! I like my 372 clones (especially the blue one), but 94cc of growl sounds even better than 71cc of howl :). By the way, I agree with you on the clones not being for everyone. I am still debugging an NH872 (neotec 372xp clone), and I am sure it will be a decent saw when I get it right, but the only reason I have it was because the first guy who bought it couldn't get it to run right....and a normal person would have given up messing with it. On the other hand, I got the G372 with a scored piston and cylinder (straight gas is my guess), put a nikasil top end on it, and it runs like a 372 ought to -- very stark difference. I bet if I bought one more of each, though, it might very well be the other way around :).
As usual, love the video Walt, thanks for sharing. Hope the ankle and all gets better soon.
I thought for sure the wedge banger was going to be a hatchet on the one tree haha ! Great video ! Enjoy seeing the hardwood and your on the fly adapting of techniques
You and me both!
Sometimes a bigger hammer is the best tool for the job.
I have a gap face with a vertical back wall (I have vert plunged the back wall before on my channel) converts the hinge to bending vs. tension and compression and eliminates pull...in eucalyptus at least. ;-)
Morning my friend...Have a nice day
You fell that third tree to fit between the saplings like a glove. I have built seven or eight clone saws after watching your videos, and for quite a few years now the 660's in particular are still putting wood in the truck relatively trouble free, they have more than paid for themselves, and they are still running strong.
I have a g372 that runs great I had bought a g395 that I never could get to fire. I got tired of messing with it. I honestly think it's a hit or miss with these saws. With that said anything can be improved and made more reliable with a little attention. I enjoyed this vid watching that 395 work flawlessly.
you need to dig out the jonsered change saw love seeing them saaws
Nice 😊 mate!! 🤠👌👌💯💪💪
If I remember right you haven't did anything to the g395 or did you put in a oil pump maybe that was the 288 that 395 has really worked out for you how about bringing out cyclops out to play in that big wood to just see how it compares now that you have gave it some time off maybe see fuel wise how it does and hand feel vibration I bought my 660s because you had so much fun using them so far bar studs replace and chain adjusters didn't require replacement just some fine tuning I remember now you had a rattle and needed a piston now you mention it on the video I was commenting as I was watching
It was the saw with a piston that had no taper from crown to skirt....they need around a .007 smaller dia. at the crown. So I put in a popup piston from Lil' red barn. Did a muffler mod, and the muffler bolts were soft so I replaced them with OEM. And put an OEM full wrap kit on it. Other than those things....nothin that I remember. The 288 was the bad oil pump and frustrating finicky carb.
Yer different but got it. Cheers
Scratching my head on the 572xp fuel consumption - that saw and the 562xpg I just bought seem to use almost Nothing for fuel - sure you don’t have a leak in the tank / lines … I just bucked up about a face cord this morning with the 562xpg (heated - oh yah ! Idk 🤷 how I lived without it 😂) and not even 1/2 tank used … in my limited experience with the farmertec clones it seemed they used MORE fuel. Hmmm 🤔
Me too...at first. Realized after a while on the editor, there is actually more running hours on the 572, prolly 10 to 15 percent more run time per tank. Combination of things from operator , tree's , and chain that ended up putting it back on the truck. Fighting around those root flare & me having a couple of physical issues made it hard to "finesse" the smaller saw. Was able to "ham hand" my way through even from more awkward positions & a heavier saw with the blue one. It just cut when I pulled the trigger. Also bucking spike was easier to "wedge" in and that made a difference too especially on the "odd" angles & un even trees & bark. Just a lot of stuff added up to make it easier for me with the blue saw. Conversely if I were to try and measure fuel usage per say something like cutting cookies. The 572 would win hands down. This opens up a discussion similar to the old dirt bike days, some work better than others in a given situation, power wasn't as important as power delivery. An I was logging the g395 way more last year than the 572. Because of the time spent, it was simply a mindless thing to run it vs,. having to think my way thru with the 572... that's all I have. But it surprised me. Going to try the 585 and 575 next job. I just want to get this one dome so will have no more vid's and will stick with the 395 until a load is sold.
@@afleetcommand gotcha ! Is the 585xp stock or modded ? I hear mumbling about low compression on those 2 saws (585xp and 592xp) , testing 130-135 psi or “abnormally low” according to some … I ran a 585xp bone stock and it pulled like a Belgian drafthorse ! Do you know anything about the 562xp “dished or scalloped” piston - a guy claims there is another cylinder with a smaller combustion chamber and that’s why they went with the dished piston - I can see the 2 piston choices available, standard and dished but nothing about another cylinder ???
Yup the 562 now has a dished piston as they decided to detune it to take the heat out vs. what we do to accomplish the same thing w/o a power loss. They took a fool proof and cheap way out. Drop the compression takes pressure off everything. I've been running my 562's with 160-165 since the 2014 time frame with no issues after the muffler mods, and cut covers. I haven't checked the compression on the 585 , it seems more than 130, that would make it tougher to get to idle and start. Mine starts easy and idles. I like it just the way it is stock. No plans to hack it. AND beginning to appreciate coming out of the woods w/o my ears bashed in from the open mufflers on my HTSS saws....I will leave it stock as well. Quiet and smooth power is what I need right now.

Power to walk? Would ya just take ya fuel
Ty for vids.
Anyone got info on my 1st build. 545 husqvarna cylinder piston kit ? Maybe hiway brand
Take a stool with you or cut some furniture, first. I do either. Age catches up with all of us. My knees are shot, my ankles are not much better, the result of being a Jock most of my life.
How much does the fiber pull cost you in this one?
Not just the pull but those tall stumps cost me more than I want to admit. I ASSUMED most were tapped. Some were, but I dropped a few that weren't and should have been cut for veneer :( I'll prolly do a few right at ground level next and cut the root flares after they are down.
@@afleetcommand thank you. I’ve learned a lot from you!
Too bad you dont have a log skidder. haha
