I had thought the new Husky 562 was a small mount. I now hear it is not. So which do you guys think will be more popular 20 inch light bar in Husky small or large mount?
Thanks, Dave.
Thanks, Dave.

I would say small mount alot of guys like Tsumara on 346's and 550's and i know guys like running the Husky Techlite bars in 20" and its only large mount. Just my 2 pennies.
Ok, just had a thought...Husky small mount light bars in 20, then get Stihl light bars in 20 and they will fit the large mount Husky with an adapter and a little filing.

Dave the small mount light for husky in say 16" and 18" would probably sell good. The stihl mount would work in 20" and 24" in the light weight to give people other options besides sugihara which the supply is sometimes not there when you want them.

New Sizes
So near the end of October I should have a few new sizes in. Tsumura lightweight 24 and 28 for the Husky large mount and light 20 inch bars in Husky small mount. Thats all for now, been some delays, but the 24 and 28 light should be nice for the Husky 562's 372 etc. Light 20 for the Husky 550, Dolmar 5100 etc.

No it isn't...unless you consider Ohio area more special than the rest of the midwest.
I have quite a few in my stable. Couple of .063's, too.

....and for the 560xp, 555, 2260 and 2258 - provided the mounts are pure K095 ones and not combination K095/K041 ones (like the small Sugihara mount).
What gauge on the small mount 20". 3/8 or .325? What gauge in the large mount 24"?
All the Husky bars will be .058. The 20 inch will come with .325 on them, then I can swap them over to 3/8th if that is wanted.
Thanks, Dave.
I can use a 20, and just mill the groove to .063".

What dl count will that result in?
Yeah. Should be.

Maybe, if it starts as an 80dl .325 bar, but hardly if it starts out as a 78dl one (that Husky specified until recently) - unless the length difference is in the tips, and not in the bar bodies.
I know there has been issues with the dl count with "retipping" other brands of bars with another pitch, so why not in this case?

I will look and let you know, thanks, Dave.

When at it, check that the bar mount is a pure K095 mount as well, without an opening between the adjuster holes and rails. If there is an opening there (K041), they likely won't work on the small mount Husky 5xx saws, with the "captive" bar nuts.
