Oregon Bars for Husky 455 and 36

[RobR45]

I have a Husky Rancher 455 with a 20 inch stock bar and a Husky 36 with a 16 inch bar. I just purchased a couple of chains for both saws. I received great information on the type of chains to purchase from all of you guys on the site. Thanks. Both of the bars on each of the saws are pretty beat up, and I am looking to purchase good quality replacement bars. Since I got the Oregon chains, I thought that Oregon bars would be a good choice for the saws. What is the general consensus regarding these bars? I know that there are different models of Oregon bars, and preference on these? Thanks in advance for all your help.

Oregon, Windsor, GB, and Tsumara are the best bar choices. Any of them will give you good performance and reliability. I have all of the above choices except the GB (I think) in varying combinations and like them.

Definitely get a sprocket nose bar. Laminate bars are a good way to go if you want to save some money.

Most "original" Husky bars sold in the US are rebadged Oregons.

The one on the 36 probably some "91" bar, and a Pro-Lite on the 455, if it is not an RSN.
