Large bar wanted for Partner p100?

[Johnleddo]

I'm looking for a large bar preferably 42" that will fit a Partner P100 saw .404 or 3/8, if you have one lying about that you would like to sell please let me know. Cheers, John

[Johnleddo]

just to clarify its a 3/8 bar that I'm looking for;)

[Johnleddo]

I think an Oregon 423rndd009 should fit?

[Al Smith]

FWIW it's the same bar mount style as 372-281-2100 Husqvarna if that helps any .

[Johnleddo]

Thanks Al the more possible options the better;)

 

I've done some looking to day and I think any of the following should do the job

 

Forester HV4263125W

Husqvarna HT-383-125

Oregon 423RNDD009

Stens HV42-63PA

Windsor 42EM63STA

 

Or any other that meets this spec 42" 3/8, .063, 125-DL

 

I'm not fussy, no brand snobbery here just need a bar!

Cheers

John

On a 42" bar 3/8" chain it's 135 drive lengths .For .404 it's 123 .

 

A 42" is a lot of bar now .What in the world are you going to cut ?

[Johnleddo]

Thanks Al for clarifying that. I'm hoping to mount it into a 36" Alaskan mill & I'm looking for a longer bar so I can get the full 36" cut out of it. That said I don't know about these saws and if it'll be powerful enough for that, do you know much about them?

 

I've read somewhere that they are about 6.1hp which is the same as my ms460 so I just hope it's got a load more torque.

 

Thanks again

John

Ms 460 struggles milling with a 25" bar ! Iv got a 48" on an 090 and it's still a bit slow

[Johnleddo]

I thought the 460 wouldn't make a good mill saw so I've got hold of this P-100 which is 100cc but fairly old so I'm hoping it'll have some more torque. It's only going to be used occasionally so I don't mind if it's not lightening quick.

Chainsaw milling is not fast no matter what you're using for power .

 

You have the right idea because in that application there is no substitite for displacement .

 

I've used an 048 Stihl which is the same displacement as an 046 and it struggles at milling .Also both a Homelite 2100 and a Mac 125 which both have ample power but it's still a slow process .
