Just a while ago, I looked at the STIHL web page for light bars. The e light and the es light are made different. Can someone tell me which one to get; I'm saving to get an MS 461 with 28" light bar for firewood bucking only.
If you get a 461R and add 28" ES Light bar upgrade it will run you $80 :msp_tongue:
Just a little intel on those ES lightweight bars- several timber faller buddies of mine have ditched them because when the ES lightweight bars are bent or pinched hard- they can't be fixed. This is due to the "honeycomb" type construction that makes it a lightweight bar. They've all gone to Sugi, Oregon, or Tsumara lightweight bars.
I've had good luck with one I bent pretty bad, thank goodness, it was brand new. I really like them, I have four now, 36s and 32s.
Of course the Stihl technical service rep just told them to buy new ones.
