Stihl VS Carlton bars

[Arrowhead]

Looks like I'm going with the Stihl ES. A local dealer and AS member made me a deal I couldn't refuse! Now the choice is full comp or skip or both.

I would go skip. You get better chip clearing and it does not work the saw as hard. If you have that 32 buried the skip may even be faster.

I don't know that full skip will clear chips any better, but I can't speak from personal experienc. I only ran full skip a couple times and the saw was having issues. I do know that your 441 has the balls to pull that b/c combo with authority. If you're concerned, go semi skip but I think you'll be happier with the smoothness of the full comp. Good choice on the ES bar btw.

Or square chisel semi-skip

There's nothing like a Stihl bar on a Stihl saw.

I agree. The problems with saw inbreeding are evident below...

Well what about this.

Man that is just plain wrong and you know it, AND it's on upside down...

 

[TommySaw]

Well what about this.

See why pay all that money when they can't even print the logo on the right way:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

You wouldn't believe how many people complain about their bar being upside down when they pick up their saws.

I don't mind it too much but it's a PITA cutting with the powerhead upside down:monkey:

 

[FATGUY]

every chain sharpening gets my bars rotated. Seems the chains stay sharper with the bars upside down.... could it be that upside down bars keep the chains sharper longer.....?:monkey:

Only kidding mate. The 20" bars I run on my 7900 were branded Husky until the paint wore off They were actually made by GB and were rebranded Pro Tops.

 

[mdavlee]

I have the 28" RW on it now. I just put it on there when I was enlarging the slot. I needed to see how far I had to go to get the chain on with the 8 pin.

That's what I got the last bailey's go round, a couple of 16s and a 20" for the 357, all GB. Enjoyed the last 2 weeks of tele from Melbourne, looking fine over yonder
