Hmmm. 52 Inch Bar & Chain, unbelieable Price

[Dub11]

If this was on a mill would anyone se a problem with it?

Wouldn't the mill stiffen it up some?

Are foresters any good? Milled or laminated? Hardness? As cheap as an oregon 42" is $190 sounds good.

I bought a 42” forester last year off eBay for 89$ new. It looks identical to @hseII s Oregon. Best choice no but for 89 bucks it will do, no more than I use one.

I do need a bigger bar just haven’t been able to put out the 3-400$ for one. 59” rollomatic was around 369 last I checked and the 52 was only slightly cheaper. When I was looking at cannons they were more money yet. I’ll get one eventually after I hopefully get some of my slabs sold.

The Stihl are too Floppy.

Go with the Cannons, the belly really stiffens them right up. I know it’s a pile of money, but it’s worth it.

Reach out to my brother, the most reliable, @definitivedave, & see what he can do on a Cannon for you.

190 seems dirt cheap, however that’s a monster bar for a saw of 90ccs

It is? A 395 will pull a 60” bar without too many issues.

I have 394s an run strong 395s. I wouldnt mill with a 60" on them. Cross cutting ok... clutch won't hold milling.

I know they’re floppier but didn’t know if it would belly that much bolted in the mill, my 41” is plenty long to do any tree cutting i need to.

I’d like to see a 395 mailing 60in and the chain still oiled by the time it gets back to the saw.

There’s still places that run bars like that other then on a mill.

Usually.404 pitch chain on a 120cc saw though. And lots of them have a manual oil overrides

Don't you just need a gigantic driver and an MS180?

Best answer.

Best answer.

3 tooth sprocket and low profile hyper skip chain.

Mine oils a 50" great in very pitchy Doug Fir and would love to try a 60" and 72" as i believe it has the power to do so, though it is ported.

The modified oiler in my 2188 might do a 4-6ft bar ok. It'll slobber over a 32"

I don't know if Forester makes the platinum bars that long but I honestly believe they are every bit as good as the major Japanese bars out. I have 3 years on 1 28" and over 2 years on a 24" and 20"
I can't ask for a better bar for the money. The chain they sell has some catching up to do to be competitive in the market tho. Also when I quote years that's not sitting on a shelf or nail on the wall. I run about 20 cords a year firewood plus random stuff.

So if my math is right you’re talking maybe 3 to 4 trucks of export fir so maybe a days worth of cutting timber.
