Looking to lighten my Dolkita 6400

[Adirondackstihl]

Not seeing a 20" version of this nor an affordable version compared to the lightweight Sugihara, is the Stihl really worth the money over the Sughara should i find a 20" ES Light?

Just an example and I hope this answers your question.....
A 28" ES Light weighs less than a 20" standard Rollomatic ES

Impressive but I'd like to stick w/ 20".

Impressive but I'd like to stick w/ 20".

Understood
But most lightweight Japanese bars that are labeled as such, are far from it.
But they sure look cool and sell like hot cakes.

I'm at the other corner of VA. The muffler mod isn't too bad to do. Some heat and some time and they're decatted

I never tried the Stihl or Oregon lightweight bars but they sound nice.

The Japanese lightweight bars are really nice though. They last a long time and might not be as light but they are a good quality bar.

The tsumura probably last longer but the stihl and oregon are lighter. I actually sold all my tsumura and kept the oregon. I did order some stihl ones 2 weeks ago

Stihl 20" ES light bars are available. I recently had my local dealer ordered me one up. I think it was about $90 and it sure feels nice on the 036. I can get you a part number tomorrow if you need it.

Yes and thank you.

Blasphemy, a Stihl bar on a Dolmar?!?
Jk

You need a D009 mount. That Stihl 3003 is not going to fit unless you get an adapter. @Homelite410 makes an awesome one.

Another lightweight bar option is to use laminated bars. A stihl E bar, for instance, would be about the same weight as a lightweight ES or a reduced weight Oregon. Obviously they're of inferior quality, but the price is much lower too. An 18" laminated bar would be a cheap lightweight setup on your 6400, and would handle most bucking tasks. Swap out for a 20-24" only when needed.

start lifting weights then it won't feel as heavy.

 

[mdavlee]

A nice 562, 036, or other lightweight 55-60cc might be a better option to drop 2 lbs of powerhead weight.

 

[Backtroller]

Exactly, then send it off to a porter and you'll have your 70cc saw in a light package.

 

[jk14]

Yes and thank you.

3003 0000 2221 = 20" 3/8 .050 ES light bar

Link to another thread with some weight comparisons, that I did when I decided to bite the bullet on a few ES lights.

Wow. Didn't know that's how you got that scar you showed in the other thread.

Man that is awful. You are lucky to be alive. Bet you had some words for that guy who shot you....

Sued his homeowner insurance. The staph-E infection, bone grafts, and DVT sucked.
