Chain & Bar combination

[fen01]

Sorry to jump in, but I have a question. Need to replace a couple of bars and get some new chains. Looking at the chainsaw bars site (Rob that's yours isn't it)? There's a selection of bars, but what is the best and why. I've not been impressed by a few husqy ones and my Oregon on on my 660 hasn't lasted well.

 

So what makes a good bar? Is a stihl bar worth the extra money? Are the sugi/sugihara much better?

 

Rob stand by for and order.

 

Cheers

thanks for that guys.

Will defo at getting that part off ebay

 

The ebay link was just an example to show that the 261 and 291 might use the same sprocket.

 

Take both saws apart and see if the sprockets are inter changeable.

 

Personally I would go down the rim sprocket route so I could run 7x325,8x325 and 7x3/8.

Will do C.J, when finished with this Beech tree I am getting through. Then time to service and play around with the saws.

Thanks for the help.
