Anyone know the real world weights of these?
Weights are in the link in post #2I dont know the actual weights, but I have a 25" ES, and I know 30% of weight off of it would sure be real nice.
Standard ES bars are heavy. Even a 20" ES bar will make a 362 or 440 nose heavy.
The longer the blade, the bigger the difference it'll make.
Really? Is this the only response I'm going to get, lol I was hoping to cause a riot!*facepalm*
The RW Stihl bars are lighter than Sugi or Tsumura.Thanks for the feedback. I'm kind of leaning toward a standard ES bar. Quite honestly, I already have Tsumura L&T or Sugi lightweights in 32", 25", 20" and 16". These are going to be used for 95+% of my cutting. I can get a 36" ES bar for $75 new at my local dealer. Tsumura L&T is pushing $180 even with the current very favorable USD to CAD exchange rate and a Stihl lightweight is around $130 locally. Thankfully, I don't absolutely NEED a 36" bar right now, so I can shop around.
Snicker .....snicker......he sayed “blade”.......you dirty boyThe longer the blade, the bigger the difference it'll make.
