880 Bars

[I Know Something]

As my client is getting closer to deciding weather or not to get a kit from me, he wants a 60 inch bar. We were both surprised at the price's of them. So, I'll ask you guys. Is there anything for a 880 at 59-60 inches that's not over $500? I have no idea. My local dealer is $500 for one. And the good 'ol interwebs show them up to and over $1k. I'm assuming (dear lord) that there is no "more affordable" options with this one.

And thanks in advance for any information.

Sounds like it might be cheaper to get a machine shop to make you one.

Hey Nutball. Can that be adapted to fit a 880? If so, how?

The bar stud holes would have to be upsized to fit the 880 14mm studs and either replace the bar sprocket with a .404 sprocket, or change the saw rim sprocket to a 3/8 pitch.

Here is a note for the granberg bars, even though the linked bar is a forester, but the mount hole info is why im posting the pic of the note. Hopefully that helps y’all decide which route to go

Maybe @davidwyby could weld on the correct tail.

eBay, I’d rather buy a good quality used bar than a cheap crap bar. Most of the cheap ones have no belly to them which is no bueno.
