They're your best bet, big selection and good service. Plenty of bars to choosefrom, including genuine Stihls. Apparently Canon bars are the best, but also the most expensive. Don't think a lightweight bar with gain you much on a 20".

 

I have an Oregon PowerMatch on one saw and it's good, very nicely made and the Oregon 75EXL full chisel chain which tears through at some speed.

 

461 pulling a 20 will be an animal. ?

I like the Sugihara light weight pro bars . Very hard . Don't need dressing so often .

Have you used the Tsumura bars? Like the look of them more than Sugiharas and they get good reviews too.

no I have not ....oh I did have one a long time ago but it was not like these modern ones . Had Windsor and canon as well .

I was looking into this earlier in the year and had used the sugihara and the tsumara bars over the last years so tried the cannon ones on my bigger saws. they are still running and running fine, I shelled out for the more pricey option (titanium) but when lugging the big fellas about it definitely helps quite a lot. I will not be going back to the older bars anytime soon I can't really say but I do prefer the cannon. I have no complaints about the bars or the service or anything as yet with these guys. I also purchased from chainsawbars.co.uk and they do know their stuff.

Sugihara light bar can’t be beat apart from cost but if your running a longer bar they help with the balance of the saw a lot
