You’re the only dude who just cuts to the chase and weighs the bars …..and actually brought all of them out of the same length. Thanks

The tsumura and cannon are the strongest, and best bang for your buck. Coming from a production faller.

The steel in the Tsumura bars is amazing.

I have a 36" Tsumura bar on my modded G660 and I've put it through hell over the last couple years. A few times I was sure it was bent or twisted. (I clean up a lot of big cottonwood blowdowns and they can be a bit unpredictable) It's still dead straight, shows virtually no wear and seems stronger than an all steel bar. They must be made of an exceptions steel. Thinking about a 28 for lighter work because the light 36 still doesn't balance well, being just a bit tip heavy (but you don't notice it once in the wood). Good video, thanks!

I like your new video you did a really good jop today have a good thanksgiving too you guys buddy

THANK YOU!! I NEEDED THIS!

Just a suggestion. Turn the bars horizontally with the lightest bar closest to the camera and the heaviest bar farthest away. Write the weight on a yellow sticky note with a black marker. Then it's easy to see weights and names all at one time.

Thanks for the informative video!

I called my local stihl dealership said ES LIght is on back order no when to tell when they will be in stock. Glad you were able to get your hands on one great video thanks for the post

Great Video!!!! thank you for taking the time to help us decide!! Have you looked into the Husqvarna light weight bar yet??

Awesome info!

I love my Forester platinum bars I run a 24" on my 372 And I run Archer brand bars on other saws

Great video

Good Video! The Oregon and Cannon looks the same. I really tough it would weight the same.

I run a Stihl ms500i with a Stihl light 32’’ bar very nice bar👍

I have been wanting to try an Oregon power cut bar in 28” but they are hard to find since they stopped production on them!

Teheran two things wrong with light bars is they will bend and abrade out much easier than solid steel bars. I try to run Stihl Rollamatic E bars on most of my saws. I also run a lot of Oregon Power Cut bars. Both of these bars are solid steel bars. If you are always cutting in an anti Celtic environment where bars don’t get pinched and there is no dirt or sand around then laminated bars are for you but if you are cutting where bars can get pinched by big lumber and there is lots of sand around then laminated bars are not for you. To me, bars and chains are disposable items. I buy them to last and laminated bars do not last as long as solid steel bars. I also like Stihl RS or Oregon LGX type chains. I am 76 but I am not a weenie.

Thanks

I'll add the Husqvarna Techlite 28" brand new bar at 2lb 10.5 oz in the husqvarna D009 large mount. What mount are these bars (assuming Stihl 3003)? I have been running a 20" Stihl Lightweight bar for 5 or 6 tanks of fuel and the last time I inspected it one rail had bowed out a bit and I had to compress it back into shape in my vise, love the bar, not sure of the longevity.

Since this guy couldn't be bothered to do the obvious (but had oodles of time to put merchandise links in the description) here are the 28" bar weights summarized: Husqvarna Standard: 3 lbs 12.25 oz Stihl Rollomatic ES: 3lbs 14.25 oz Windsor Speedtip: 3bs 13.75 oz Stihl ES Lightbar: 2lbs 11.50 oz Oregon Powercut: 2lbs 11.75 oz Sugihara: 3lbs 2 oz Tsumara: 2lbs 14.25 oz Cannon: 3lbs .75 oz

Tsumura is best value for money and only sugihara is just a bit better.

The Sthil ES Light is a nice bar got one on my 441C and it balances the saw very nicely

The forester platinum bar weighs as much as the ultra light cannon??

Dang I was hoping you were going to test the stihl light 04

Suigihara then Tsumura in my oppinion are the best longetivity wise but Cannon,Stihl,and Oregon are good too you really cant go wrong with either but for the money im sticking with Suigi,or Tsumura

Does Windsor still exist and make speed tip bars?

Nice video, enjoyed the series! I'm trying to decide on which 28" light bar to get? Which one did you like overall the best? Happy Thanksgiving!

You forgot the husqvarna x- tough light bar 😢

Anyone have a link to where I can find a Tusumara LW 25" bar for a Stihl MS 462 RCM please? Hard to find. Can the tip on the Sugi bar be greased ?

Do you have a recommendation to pair a 20" bar to my 462CM? I have a 32" ES light bar, and a rollomatic 25", but I'm looking for a shorter lightweight bar. I looked on the Oregon site, but it didn't look like they recommended a bar for the size of the 462 as far as cc/ displacement. I'm sure they would work fine, but didn't know if the power would be a potential safety issue? Thanks for the videos.

Does anyone still run non sproket tip bars. I got one year fulltime on clearfelling in NZ using a Tsumara hard nose bar with Oregon chain. THE windsor speed tip was also good if you didnt grease the tip. Just seemed to attract the sand if you did grease it.

Husqvarna tech lite?

It is pretty nice that you can walk in to a Stihl dealer and get a nice light weight bar now.

So which 28 inch bar should i get for my stihl 441. The Stihl ES Lite or the oregon power cut reduced weight bar.

Wow😂 screwed that up

Hey man, kind of random but how's that C300 running? I'm trying to keep mine goin strong, I was wondering if you ever walnut blasted/carbon cleaned it or anything.....It's direct injection so it seems like it would need it at some point, but I also heard it's not as much intake buildup as VWs or Bimmers.

I know this Is an older video but I have been seeing a lot of these raptor bars showing up. Are they any good?

Japanese steel 🏅🏅🏅

Wish i was smart enough to use topology optimization software to design a sketonized titanium bar. Anyone unfamiliar, do yourself a favor and look it up. Between cost, weight and cool factor, someone has to do this. Where my CAD guys at?

He for got panther bars

Hey mate, we can provide winter-resistant gloves with touchscreen fingers and splashproof for free, we hope to get your test and feedback. Thank you.

I have all these bars in one size or another. Except the Cannon. The Tsmaura 4 rivet tips do not last with pro use. The Sugi bar might be the best steel. But they are heavier than other light weight s. The Oregon bars work well but seem too floppy in 32 and 36in lengths. At this time my favorite ones are the Stihl light weight ones. Don't bend one though...

Better keep that Windsor nice, don't think they make it anymore.

I dont think a pound an a half is really gonna bother me too much for the price 😅

most of the 'pros' running 28 or 32 light bars and skip chain. less cutters to sharpen.

The Stihl light bars are too flexible. It often starts fluttering when back chaining. I prefer the Tsumura or Sugihara, haven't tried the others

1000$ on that table

No question. Cannon wins.

Christ, my dying wish is for Yanks to be able to pronounce Husqvarna. One day.
