I have not used the 3700 yet. My 3400 does real well with the bow.
Theres a guy on Ebay that sells new bars.
Just Email the guy and tell him what your looking for.
Some times good used ones come up for sale also.

 

[Mr. Bow Saw]

Well I have two more saws to ad to my collection.

Mac Supper 55 A

Stihl 076

 

[Max_arbo]

thanks...good lesson, will keep it for future reference.

Of course I am partial to McCulloch's, and I really loved the 1-80 with the bow, the Super 55A is probably very close to the 1-80 in performance.

I have a 55 off e-bay that clearly has been used a lot, still had 175 PSI or better compression when I tested it. It is definitely a runner.

Keep up the great work Cliff.

Really have to ask you fellas are those saws not prone to serious kickback?I see on some of the bow bars they have a guard on top of the bow,is that for safety ie.if the saw comes back at you it prevents the chain from getting you?

Yes they can kick back if not used properly. Most injuries with a bow is actually on the upper leg.

I would be interested in a few 24 inch depending on cost.

I like the looks of the G70 Mac and the Poulan looks like one hell of stout machine,seems to say "Let's Get Her Done!"
