Black Guide Bar with Orange Writing

[Sambo]

Guys just a quick question: I was at the APF show and on quite a few of the trade stands there were saws geared up with guide bars that were all black with orange writing on them - just wanted to know who makes them - if for no other reason than that it's driving me round the bend trying to remember the name!!!!

 

Plus if anyone has any bars they use that are better than the usual Stihl/Husq/Oregon etc. I'd love to know!

were they on chainsaws? if not they might be harvester bars

[Tom D]

I've got a cannon carver that was black and orange.

[Lee Winger]

oh well I was nearly correct , they do indeed make harvester bars, i've never used Cannon bars

I'd be interested in how the compare to Oregon and Stihl?

[tree_beard]

cannon bars are black with cannon written in orange...

 

best bars in the world... second only to stihl es... and maybe a couple of tsumara bars...

 

 

they are pricey though, and a tad heavy when you get into 36"+ stuff, but top quality. dougie bennett is the uk distributer.. good bloke

 

 

 

fyi... cannon bars are also re-badged as woodland/woodsman pro sold by baileys (us forest+arb supplier)... still black and orange tho

a friend has one of these on his 88, he as trapped it several times to the point where you think it would be knackered, but it still looks as striaght as dye and cuts as good as when it was first used:thumbup1:

Cannon are good, but the worlds BEST bars are the Austrailian GB Titanium series.

I agree Ed- there orange with black writing. Never seen a bar take such abuse. Still fecking heavy when it's 5ft long on an 880 though !
