Bar sizing .. for husky 395

[prolinep]

Alright,

 

So looking at getting a husqvarna 395p, but off the shelf they only offer a bar up to 28" ... if i want to go for an oregon bar and chain whats my options. ?? on the site they offer a 3/8" .058 husqvarna bar to fit the 395xp

 

The closest oregon bar but to go bigger is 3/8" 0.63 36" would this work on the saw if i get the chain to match? or will it not line up ?

Hi

 

Surely all you need to do is change the rim to an 0.063" to match the chain for the larger bar?

Drive sprockets are pitch specific so chain gauge makes no odds.

 

395 bar combo wise, buy whichever gauge bar you want and buy chain to match, no problem

I would go .404 pitch if you want 36" ......In fact I have a little used Oregon Power Match 36" .404 pitch .063" gauge bar that could be for sale if you want it . PM me . I could meet you half way . I am near Chichester .

Strange they don't do a 30" or 36" in 3/8, but as Stubby says just go .404 .063 and change the sprocket - less cutters to sharpen too!

i have a 395xp with 36" bar and 3/8 pitch is oregeon and cuts fine , kept 3/8 so can change to smaller bar when needed without having to change sprocket.

Same as Aiden ..36" Sugi lite bar is a lot stronger than the power match I had on before.

28" bar on mine

Hi Matty, can I ask how the sugi is stronger?

[MattyF]

The Sugi steel does not burr up as quick it's possibly slightly heavier in weight but then it just is a bit more heavy duty even though it's the lite version !I've had no issues with the sprocket ,the Oregon seized quite a few times and ended up a slack unpredictably Mess...

Plus it looks better for posing pics

yep i find the sugi's don't seem to burr up even if the oiler is playing up !
