Tsumura/Total bars

[Ronaldo]

Friend of mine said our local Husqvarna/ Jonsered dealer told him that Total bars would no longer be available as they have gone out of business or have quit offering them.......or something along those lines.
I am not sure if it would be Total or Tsumura that has gone out of business or if any of this is even true?????
Any one heard anything on this?

Somebody posted about the total bars not being available. I can't remember who, I'm fairly certain it was a dealer. Don't quote me and hopefully somebody else can think of that thread???

Just to clarify the confusion: Tsumura of Japan is not going out of business. They are still manufacturing chainsaw bars and brushcutter discs and selling them under their own name.

What happened is a US company called Tilton, which owns the name Total, is either going out of business or going through a rough patch: you'll find as many versions as you want. This means until the dust has settled down Total bars will be limited to the existing stock: you can still buy "grey import" Tsumura products (which are exactly the same thing as Total bar the name) outside mainstream channels.

Hope this helped you out.

Total & Cannon bars have always been either very difficult or "unobtainium" in France although " Sugi & Tsumura" are available as quoted in post3 it's the US distribution that's having problems

Seems like Tilton has been having issues for as long as I have been sawing. May be some company will just step up and distribute the bars through the Tsunarma brand. Those bars sell themselves and may be that Total name will just passed on.

I might add 'thechainsawguy' is great to deal with.
I received my bars quickly and they were exactly what I was looking for.

That's funny I just placed an order with the 'thechainsawguy' myself a few hours ago. He is a good guy to deal with and we are lucky to have a Canadian dealer for the Tsumura bars.

Are they making Sugi's for Husky yet? I had one with those stupid spacers and it didn't matter what color they said worked for Dolmar, they didn't work well. I got rid of them to guys that had Stihls.

Speaking of Canon bars.

Any word on their lightweight bars yet?

Bill Challenger (owner of cannon) told me he had something no one else had thought of on the lites... can't wait for Cannon lites to hit the market!
