GB bar ?

[Husky372]

i got a gb pro cut power tip bar is it any good? doesn't have replacable nose and is grey. i thought gb's were orange

The orange GB bars are the Titanium bars, which used to look like the bar on the right The exact name eludes me at the moment and paint is all rubbed off mine. Great bars. A small step down from that is the Pro-top bar w/ replaceable nose, kind of like your Stihl Rollomatic ES bars. Below those, is your Pro-Cut, which I believe is like the Rollomatic E bar. Then GB has a hard-nose bar.

thanks i knew it wasn't a good bar

 

[cbfarmall]

I didn't say it wasn't a good bar, just not as nice as the Pro-Tops in my picture.

no i know how would you rate it compard to one that comes with say a new husky 385

 

[cbfarmall]

Don't know Husky stuff. As you can see from my picture and my signature, I've got all Stihls and a little Homey.

 

[Husky372]

so how would you compare the 2 then rocky.

Give us more information.  GB makes laminated bars just like the laminated bars Oregon makes.  GB also makes a bar without the replaceable tip section that is not a laminated bar, and if that's what you've got it would be between them (laminated and solid-w/replaceable tip) in quality/value/whatever.  If your GB bar has a series of spot welds then it's the laminated bar.  No matter what, you should happily use it until it goes south.

the only info i have for this gb bar is what i allready posted it is a pro cut power tip with no replaceable nose other than that i dont know anything about it.

Did this bar come on your new 385?

 

[Husky372]

the gb came with the modified 385 i bought from hunter mostly new couple tanks of fuel

The GB bar you are talking about is a Laminated Bar from GB.
They are a decent bar and seem to hold up. It does not have the replaceble tip, and is not as good as the protop bars.
That bar will last alot longer than you think.

GB hard nose bar

i baught a GB hard nose bar from hunter a while back, a hi tech titanium CN40 i think. it seems to be a good bar, im not overly crazy about the hard nose bar, but comes in handy in the river bottoms.

thanks ruger

 

[Hunter]

The Cn-40 Ti bar is actually and enclosed Roller nose bar, not a Hardnode. That bar is a really good one. If you look close, you can see it.
Glad all works well.
Thanks
Hunter
