Stihl Light Bar

[Work Saw Collector]

I'm sorry I don't understand what you want pics of? Maybe the smiley face throws it off. But yes I will take pics of bars and give the weights and maybe even deflection from tip to mount.

I just like pics of anything new. :rockn:

I ordered one yesterday. At the time they told me the PN wasn't even in the system. Today, they said they actually got a price, but that it was on BO. I wonder how long that will be, lol.

I have yet to run mine, but two local fallers got to demo some at the first part of the year and are still running them. That is really good. The first thing they did add, was that they felt like a real bar, not flimsy like the Oregon RWs.

That is really good to hear. I want some 28" bars for the modded 441's we are running, should make for a nice light package.

The stihl light would be a good match on that 880.

That does sound like a nicely balanced piece of business.

I bet Stihl will never offer it for the big mount, 084,088,880

You can turn it into a big mount.

I wish they would make a 24/25" light.

They are already light, LOL.

Right now they are front heavy with the 28" .... which I like, but if the bar will knock around a pound off, it would be worth it in the hilly stuff for sure. Right now we're on flat bottom ground and it doesn't really make much difference what you carry around, 441 or 660 with 28" bar isn't so bad on flat ground, but hilly stuff sure makes a difference.

The main thing is, will they handle the abuse. I have handled a saw with the Oregon RW 28" bar and it was nice and lighter, but they sure seem like they could/would bend easy. So I never bought into them, that and I'm quite racist against Oregon anything at this point, LOL.

If some loggers have tried these and they are still using them, surely they can stand up to some abuse.

Later,

That's good news. I tried the Oregon RW bar. It didn't do too well.

I modified the studs of the 880. It will fit small mount.

 

[056kid]

I would get one if I was working. . .

the reduced weights are pretty easy to tweak. Then again a good old solid 32'' isent really that heavy

They do...kind of...


The 3003 000 4030 25" bar is a narrow profile bar with a 10T nose. It is even lo-kickback rated. I have one on my 660 and I like it fairly well. It is the bar on the saw in my MS 660 superstock thread.

This may be dumb of me, did you mod the bottom of studs to get the oil
hole to line up. or does it oil the side or top of chain?


Have you heard about this, 880 has had some changes!

I modded the oil holes on the bar also, it gets plenty.

I would still like to know if it's made at Stihl USA, Germany or maybe even
contracted out.

Mine is marked Germany just like the pic. 28" and $134.00.

Anybody on the east coast have any luck finding any of these bars?

Put an email into my dealer, but he is on vacation, will let you know how getting some 28"ers, goes.

I'm in Western Kentucky,
