Will a stock 3120 or 880 pull a 84 inch bar?

I was looking at bars on Baileys website and see that they offer a 84" bar.
Just wondering if anyone has ever had any experience with a bar of that size.

Steve the Kiwi runs one with twin 3120s.

probbly. a 50 inch is a pain to lug around so why wound you need a bar that long ?

 

[056kid]

to cut 200" trees of course!!!!!

I was looking at the 20" woodland pro bars, and just saw that they had a 84" available, and was just wondering if the current big saws are capable of pulling such a bar?

My 3120 pulls a 60" with no problem. I couldn't quite see an 84" bar though. :jawdrop:

well, if you can't find trees big enough you can ride to work on the thing. four foot bar! sweet.

What in God's name would you be cutting with an 84" bar, thats 7 feet

 

[blsnelling]

Buy one and try it. The saw will only set you back about $1600 and the bar about half that much. $2500 and you could find out

Guess you could clear a 7 foot swath through the woods. Or, mount it on the front of your vehicle and use it for crowd control.:greenchainsaw:

There's nothing around here that would take a bar that big, but if a 3120/880 won't pull it the mfg. sure wasted a lot of metal.

Hell, it sould make for one lazy limbing bar. Standing up and walking the log, you could clear both sides!

I bet that's the bar that that guy in Canada used to cut down his 2,000,000 trees with.

One of the markets theses days for the really long bars are the burl cutters. Want a perfect slab for harvesting, little waste as possible. Right tree pays for the bar....Green burl also cuts pretty easily.

What exactly does a burl cutter cut?

Not to be a smart mouth but they cut burls and crotches. I have tried to attach a very bad pic.
