I've spent lots of time looking for long chainsaw bars to fit my 070 and haven't found many options.
Seems that most manufacturers stop at 42" or so.
I'd like to find a 36-38" bar, a 48-58" bar, and a 72"+ bar
I'm aware that the 070 and 090 need either a special bar or custom drilled holes for the adjuster and oiler. Pretty much it looks like I need to find a bar for a Stihl 088/MS880 and drill the bar but am at a wall at price.
I looked into Granberg (GB) and Cannon but they're both a bit pricey for how much I plan to use my mill with a long bar.
Cannon has a 72" bar for $625.00
Granberg has a 72" bar for $754.99
Forester has a 72" bar for $340.87 (3/8" (fine with me) willing to modify to fit the big saws, but needs to be in stock lol)
I looked into a few manufacturers overseas which can sell a bar for $250 or so but shipping and import fees are borne by the customer with no estimation on how much that would cost and therefore leaving me wary of purchasing those bars.
What do US big saw users find are the best options?
For the Short bar, I found NeoTec has what I need
Neotec has a 36" bar for $135.99
