husky small bar mount

[cornish wood burner]

Could someone tell me if a 22 or24 inch bar is available with a husky small mount? I am just cutting firewood for myself but have some 40 to 48inch softwood to cut into rings. The saw I hope to use has 58cc. Very light touch would be needed I guess.

Which saw is it (and what pitch are you running)?

Sorry pitch is .325 The saw came with a rubbish bar which I have worn out but starts and runs fine. I would rather strain this one rather than my husky 450

OK, so it won't like it much! The longest bar I can find that fits is 20" for the Husky 560. This is on .325" pitch as standard.

My 450 has an 18 inch bar so it might save some wedge work

Many thanks Ian

You want an Oregon 248RNBK095 but you may have to import it.

What is availiable varies between different markets/areas, and 24" bars for the small Husky mount does exist, as do 3/8" bars of different lengths. They are not common in Europe though.

 

The real question is what is sensible to use on the saw in question.....

Same here regarding 20", and that is the longest I want even on that very strong 60cc saw.

 

I had to order from the other side of the Atlantic, to get a suitable 20" bar in 3/8".

 

It is a pity that the SugiHara light bars aren't availiable (listed) in 3/8" in the UK - I ended up with buying a Tsumura light&tough from Canada.

Thanks for your help and info guys. I think plan A is out the window.The Deko has suprised me though.It came with a 20 inch bar and while it will not win any races it just keeps plodding on, even with the bar buried on every cut. I might invest in another 20 inch bar and see if it will finish the remaining 45 ft of 4 ft dia pine.
