Long bar options

[300zx_tt]

hey all, having some trouble finding the right bar for my 880. I bought it New with a 41” to mill my small/medium logs with, a 25” just to have and cut occasionally with. I’m looking for a 60-66” (72” seems a bit overkill for what I encounter realistically) bar exclusively to mill with.

- I know cannon makes a superbar that’s 60”
- stihl makes what they call a 59/60” but from what I’ve seen with them they have a lot of flex which isn’t great for milling
- gb makes long bars but I haven’t looked into them much.


Anybody have any experience with any of these?

A 72” seems nice just Incase I need it but Chain is more expensive and a 72” is just unwieldy imo

I can't imagine any bar that long that wouldn't have some flexibility to it

Gregg at left coast supplies can give you the lowdown on the GB bars.

Cannon will definitely be the best, but you'd better be sitting down when you see the price.

Definitive Dave is making his yearly cannon order right now. PM him or search the listings

The 60” stihl bar are exceptionally flaxible, even my 41” has more flex than the 42” Oregon bar I had in the past... from what I’ve seen price wise the cannon bar is only $100 more

For $100 more, just go with the Cannon.

There’s a guy on eBay selling the 60” Cannon SuperBar for $399 + $50 for the ride. I’m debating wether I should get a 60” or a 72” the same guy on eBay has the 72” for $465 + $60 to ship. $75 difference, not sure if the extra capacity is worth the hassle of a 6” bar
