What size bar do you run on a 60cc?

[Four Paws]

Hmmmm very interesting! I thought a 24" was going to put it to the test. Lol

32" for limbing

Exactly.

It is a PNW knot bumper bar for 60cc Husqvarna and Dolmar saws.

It would work well on some of those big conifers you get into, Josh.

One thing I don't get is max bar recommendation from any manufacture and almost everyone on this site cuts it down by 4" or more and worries about ruining saw by running max length ?
My first saw was a 290 20" bar and did anything I asked up to 40" red oak? maybe slower ? I'd probably still be running if I hadn't hurt my back ( not saw related ) and bought some saws on CL for something to do while I was off work found these sites fixing up and caught CAD. Damn you guys
Although I prefer this site over the others. FWIW

I still have some of those 32" K095's.

I'd take a 3/8 one. Pm me a price sir

 

[bryanr2]

Plan to test these 20's out tomorrow. Think they will be just fine.

Let's pray the 357 shows mercy and the 590 is humble in defeat. If it's the other way around, I don't want to hear about it.

Both will probably be slower than a 6100 from what I hear lol.

It should be very interesting.

Lemme see a pic of one of them bars, too. I might have a use for one...

MAN CARD: Buy an old quality NOS bar from Jon1212 that dates back to the days when MAC & Poulan saws were the loggers choice.
LOSE MAN CARD: Buy expensive Japanese RW shiney bar that you refuse to wear clear coat off for photographic reasons.

Bigger bars sell saws to people that don't know any better. Doesn't matter if it can pull it.

That's how we end up with the new plastic home-owner saws sporting a 20" 3/8 on a 50cc clamshell with a cat muffler (which has a pin hole for an outlet)

 

[Cut4fun]

I like a 16" to 20" 3/8 on my stock 60cc.

With those ultra rare K041 mounts not.

 

[Mastermind]

18" for me. The 60cc saw is my most favorite saw too.

I don't think they will be slower. Just use big test wood. No 16" Poplar.

 

[Deets066]

Here's the 34 super with 28" full comp.
Don't normally run a 28" on it, just messin around

Gonna try to find some16-20" range. Bout where a 60cc works best. Bigger than that you will probably grab a 70cc, and 50cc for smaller.

That's not bad. 34Super is basically a 036 right? Does it oil that bar?

 

[Deets066]

Yeah it's the same as a 36 pro

It oiled it, but I didn't make a lot of cuts with it

Really, quite impressed!

That's the strength of a 6100. You don't reach for the bigger saw as soon.
