Hey guys I am using a HD makita 6401 that I picked up recently and have cut up about 5 cords so far and loving the extra power. I am definatly more of a weekend warrior type when it comes to chainsaws, use it a bunch for the season then I may not pick it up again until next year.
What is a good replacement bar to put on? Th current bar is still OK but it has had its fair share of abuse, I took a file and cleaned it up good enough for this years cutting but it would be nice to pick up another 20" and keep this as a backup. How are the OEM dolmar/makita bars vs aftermarket? I also need a good chain. I am using the chains they gave with the saw but they are just throw away chains that seem to dull easily, and I know do not let them touch dirt and don't push the saw for chain life and keep the oiler running good. right not I am running a 3/8 .050 72.
Thanks,
Wolfjon
