where in NE WI are you going to find enough White pine big enough to need a 36 in bar . You must be a bear of a man if you want to pack one around . I have a friend who has a 394 that I fixed . At nearly 30 pounds with a 20 in. bar . I run a 83 cc on my processer and it is all I want to lift it up and pin it on .

36" is a lot of bar. I do like a 385 or 390 with a 24" on it though. But then, I am somewhat large of body, and small of brain😁

I run a 390xp with a 36in bar on a Alaskan mill set up. The 390 handles the 36in bar well.
