The longest bar

[little possum]

Thats a beaut to Ric.

And I thought that was a 2100 but wasnt sure. Yet to run across any of those over here. Did find a West coast 288 that will probably be hanging with a 28-32"

What exactly is a mechanical pond bar and does it work any different than a regular bar? You rock!Steve

the pond-deck bar is used in mills and is a stationary mount with hydulic drive motor and rams to raise and lower.

they also can drop in the water to cut floaters

some of the pond bars I had were plumbed for lube lines

they run 3/4 pitch .122 gauge chain

Old thread bump.

 

[2dogs]

I've gone from a 660/36" to an 090/60" as my longest bar combo. Good thread bump.

 

[sawfun9]

my 090 gets a 60, the Mac 125 gets a 50, and the Husky 2100 wears 42. I run 36 incher's for the 880 and 066. There's enough stumps in maple and oak to justify them, if I choose. Those big bars are an awful lot of work at times. I've found I 'd rather buck with a long bar than use a short one from both sides. If you don't make the two small bar cuts line up perfectly then you have more work, trying to match the cuts up. One big cut is just a neater job.

I have a 72" bar for my mac 1-86, but I've never used it. I've used my 084 for milling with a 48" bar.

 

[Isna]

At work: 36" on a 660. At home: 24" on a 440/460 BB MM. Best combo ever in my opinion. Also have a 32" on a 1947 PPK but that's just for show... Still looking for a 880 with a 48" bar (we have plenty of big Poplar around here).

There's a McCulloch 1-86 and a 72" bar for it within 3 hours of my house???:msp_confused:


Did you get the McCulloch 300 that was listed on your local CL a while ago? There was a guy in the Santa Cruz area who had one (that was missing the muffller cover). He answered my CL want ad ages ago, but I never made the drive for various reasons. He finaly got tired of waiting and listed it. A 1-86 and a long bar like that would be much more worth the drive!

The 125 in my avitar is wearing a 60". It has only been used for stumping. It requires two people to carry it around in the woods. I bought a 36"er for the Mac last fall and I like it a lot more. I also have a 36" in Stihl mount for the 064BB.

 

[dave k]

I have a couple of 60"'s for my 090's then 48, 42 etc and a handfull of 36's for 090's and for 660's
A Canadian member had a 84" made by Cannon for a milling job using a 3120 and I remember the post when he did the job about the third slab in he hit stone ! no problem he changed the chain went down a fair bit thought he would be in the clear, he hit it again !!

 

[Frank Boyer]

I've had the 1-86 for a few years. I got it as a non runner. It is a loud old beast!
