CD 480 bar

[Deciduous Dan]

Hi all i have just recently got a Husqvarna CD480, despite being quite an old girl she is lovely to fell with.

 

The saw came with a 20 inch bar which is in poor condition and a chain which looked like it had been cutting the floor more than the trees. having sharpened the chain up there is not much life left on it, and rather than getting a new chain for the old bar i was thinking of getting a slightly longer bar and chain as i only use the saw for the occasional big tree when i need something bigger than my 362 on a 18.

 

i am used to all the different bar mounts and am wondering if there is any current husqvarna which has a interchangeable bar with this saw?

 

as that will make it easier for me to order a new bar and chain

 

Thanks

Not sure to be honest but with 77cc and relatively low revving but high torque you should be able to use 24" maybe 30" ? Take the 20" bar you have and see if the mounts and oil feed hole line up with a modern bar .....

The info I have on your saw says its a K095 mount, so 90% of husky bars will fit

I am tempted by a 30 i had the 20 in a big dead oak the other day and it didn't seem to notice where as the 362 was not happy at all.

Having checked rob d's site, he lists the d009 bar mount, so once again, the husky bars will fit

hi Dan

have had a 480cd and was not happy with a 24 inch bar so stuck a 20 inch on it and it was as happy as a pig in muck

put the 24 inch bar on a jonsered 2071 and what a ruddy beast that is

480 is a old low reving lugging saw that will just keep going what ever you put in its way

hope that helps albert

Thanks Guys so i am now thinking of getting a 28 on the grounds that if the 480 doesn't like it it will fit a more modern saw when i can afford/justify one

Large Husky/D009 is correct - and a very common bar mount!
