Stihl Light Bar

[Tree Sling'r]

Is this old news or new to you guys, I have not been on in awhile. It is 3oz (32in) lighter than the Oregon Reduced Weight bar, much sturdier and the tips last much longer.
BTW, I got rid of all those damn Huskies!

Nice find, and news to me! Might hafta buy a couple and see how they last.

New to me.........man I was thinking of you and it's the reason I just got
back on here.

Going to find your MS880 thread so I can find coil and carb part numbers
you used.



What lenghts do the light bars come in, if you know?

News to me. Looks like a VERY nice bar. What kind of price is on a 32"er?

088 coil and 084 carb. At least that's what I used.

088 coil and 084 carb. At least that's what I used.

Same here, I actaully cut logs for two weeks with the 880 and a 36" Oregon Reduced Weight bar, in big wood obviously. It was sweet.

Anyway I paid $144 for a 32". I think they are really hard to find though. Also comes in a 28" and a 36".

Can you tell what Stihl has done to make it lighter.
Also is it made in U.S.


Last Stihl bar I bought was a 41" for the 880 it was $98.
$142 seems high but don't get me wrong if I had to use
a saw every day I would fork out the money also.

Hell I may buy one for my wife's Christmas

Looks as if you used carb HT-7A, I wanted to have numbers as for the carb anyway, I think their were a few diff ones. As I will be looking at some used
carbs off of saws.

I didn't find the coil number, but does 1301A ring a bell to anyone?


Thanks,

You went back to steal camp and they made you wear the cream and orange thong again.:jawdrop:

Good to see ya sling

I used the HT-7A carb and 1124 400 1309 coil for an 088.

What happened to the 390 vs 660 thing? I thought you had gone all 390s and quit 660s.

This may be one of the most logically, smartest and best Quote of all times

Your not baiting are you TS?

Are they making this bar in mid and large mount?

 

[brages]

The Stihl site talks about "Light" Stihl bars, but only for Picco and Mini Picco...

News to me. Looks like a VERY nice bar. ....

:agree2:

They just had to do it, didn't they?

+1 Long time no see muchacho! Been dropping any more burning trees?!

 

[Outlaw5.0]

The Stihl website does show anything bigger than 16".

 

[Tree Sling'r]

No burning trees this year. Just green ones, and then boards for building.

This bar has an aluminum insert on only one side. I am not sure if they have large mount.

The 390 Husky is a good saw as long as it does not break down, it is not near as reliable as a 660 though. I have been using 460s, if I need anything bigger, I bust out the 880.

I never had a problem one with the 372s, but the 390s, were headaches.

Bookerdog, I wear that orange thong year round, but backwards. I am a SF Giants as well as a guy who runs Stihls so the orange serves more than one purpose.

 

[blsnelling]

What was breaking on the 390s? Inquiring minds want to know
