I am looking for a lightweight 36”bar (and if you have a loop or two of chain that would be great) For a Stihl 661.

I pushed the wrong button and it posted. I will entertain any lightweight bar. I can get a new Sugi for .63 3003 Mount for $140.00 and I’m leaning that way but as much as I like Sugi bars I’d like to try a Stihl ES light.
Let me know what ya got, I need it for a job early December. Thanks, Rye.

My vote goes to the Tsumara lightweight bars. Dave @thechainsawguy can get one headed your way for a reasonable price. Not cheap exactly, but they're very high quality. My neighbor redbull660 has done extensive testing on a lot of bars and this is what he says is best. Actually, it's worth PMing him, perhaps he has one he's used to run some tests and will pass on.
Yeah I have a Total 28” on her now. It won’t get a ton of use so I’m just looking for cost effective light one. Thanks for the suggestion.
I have both the NEW Tsumura light 36 inch and I have a new Stihl ES Light bar in 36, both are $150 US shipped to you and also $35 more for the chain included. So $185 US$ total shipped to you.
Thanks
Dave

This.
Pm sent, I have a Total and a Sugi. I’m hardheaded so I want a Stihl ES Light to compare, that way I have all 3.
Truth be told I should just buy a cheap hard nosed bar, it’s really only going to be used for stump bases near the ground. Here in Va REAL big trees are not the norm in my area.
Well now I’m even more perplexed, the Stihl is an .050 and the Tsumura is a .63. The Stihl is about 5.5 oz lighter but one would think a 36” would need to be a .63 or it would flex a lot correct? Now I’m leaning Tsumura.
My Stihl bar would be a 063 just like my Tsumura would be.
Going Tsumura. Thanks to all. Rye.
