Lightweight bar options for Husky

[NC Cutter]

I did some searching around and it doesn't look like Husky offers the popular Techlite bar any longer. I'm seeing a Pro-lite by both Husqvarna and Oregon, I assume the same bar. Any other quality light weight bars in 20" for Husky 372?

Prolite bars aren't really any lighter than standard bars. The narrow profile makes them lighter but not by much. Sugi light weight and in a few months the tsumara light and tough should be available

Pro-Lite as offered by Oregon is a POS.

You want a replaceable-tip bar ...

Tell us whut you're going to be putting this new bar on ...

EDIT: I see this is going on a 372. Sugihara has options ...

Thanks guys. Where exactly would I find a Tsumara bar? I seriously doubt my little Husky dealer carries them.

The tsumara light weight bars won't be available till this fall sometime. Sugi light weight bars are available from several of the site sponsors.

The tsumara light bars are available on eBay out of Canada I guess. I meant readily available from US based dealers

They are THAT bad if your comparing them to tsumara/total or sugi bars but if you factor in the price they really aren't that bad. Pro lite bars are $25-45 compared to a tsumara light/sugi light at what $75-100? Not really a fair comparison. You get exactly what you pay for and at the pro lite price they are an ok bar

Thechainsawguy is a sponsor here who sells them in the U.S. no prob.

Are you going to be a tsumura dealer?

Yessir that's him. It'll be nice to have some U.S. Dealers soon.

For time being they are only going to import 20, 24, 28 large husky and medium Stihl mount. As soon as they become available I will have them. Didn't hear if they were going to brand them Total or Tsumara though.

So I was only half wrong lol.

updated sponsors for light weight bars.
Sugi lite= weedeaterman.com
Tsumara lite= thechainsawguy

Check out the HEV thread in the sponsor forum they may have a local dealer listed there if you want to try finding somewhere to walk in and buy in person

Any news on the Cannon light weight ?

Pro-lite are servivable bars, but do of course not last as long as the best RSN bars.

I agree that they aren't very light, but it depends on the profile/tip size.
