Hey to those who posted criticism over on Facebook, just because something is a gift, doesn't mean the receiver is obligated to talk it up. The great thing about folks like Buckin is this all is coming from the heart, agree or disagree, right or wrong. He's just telling what he see's, feel's, and interprets. Honest. Wish more were like that.

In all fairness a stock 288 was lazy! There were substantial gains in rattler’s build! Good job! 394’s were in a class of their own! A stock 288 didn’t come anywhere near them! This shows what ported saws can really do! Great vid!

I have a ported 460 Rancher 24" and am looking at going with a bigger bar on it. Dream of the day when my firewood gets me enough to go a bit bigger. My goal is to have a few strong saws that can hold 30"+ bars in the big wood without bogging. Most the trees I deal with are 18-26" but still running across a few maples that I drop for folks that push 46"+ at the butt so a reliable strong engine with say a 32" bar would make my life so much easier. My firewood cutting and tree cutting still in the hobby phase for now though so gotta play it smart.

That 394 sounds like it has a lot of work done to it. I have a low top 288xp with some mild port work and it runs good in hardwoods, but nothing like a worked over 390 or 394/395. The 390 is a 372’s bigger bruiser brother and with the right work runs better than the mythical 288xp or 395 without the extra weight. So what’s all done to the 394? It sounds too Barky for a muffler mod and some polishing.
