One of the standout features of the 385XP is its impressive engine performance. The chainsaw is equipped with a 70.7 cc, 4.2 horsepower X-Torq engine, which not only delivers high power output but also ensures lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions, making it environmentally friendly without sacrificing performance.
