Either bar will do fine. IMO the question is if you want to run skip chain or not. IN that kind of wood and with that bar ength I would.

 

[atvguns]

the windsor bar comes with skip tooth that the only differance I could see other than brand

Out of those two I would get the second. You might want to get skip chain if you don't like sharpening a lot of cutters. I think windsor is better quality than oregon in the bar department.

I thought Oregon owned Windsor, one would think the quality would be near the same for both.

My bad, Blount International owns them.... http://www.blount.com/

So far the windsor bars I've seen and used seemed to be better rails. They seem to not show as much wear as oregon. I haven't used any newer ones so they may be the same now with the different tips.

I have yet to try a windsor bar, i do use a lot of Carleton bars and they seem to be pretty good but mind you i'm not a logger, just some yahoo who likes to chop down a few trees every once in a while. Maybe my next purchase will be a windsor bar just to see if they are any good.

This is the bar I would get, or one of those orange GB titanium bars.

Either will do fine for you.

I like the Windsor bars very well but the selfish side of me secretly hopes you will get the Oregon with the full comp chain and video it to show all of the "It's too heavy for a 64cc saw" naysayers here!!!LOL

I wish they shipped to Canada.

Maybe I'm missing something here - 30-36" tree will come down A-OK with a 20" bar hanging off a Dolmar/Makita. Unless you really want a new bar just to have one, you're good to go as is.

Either bar will work just fine, and as far as I know the steel in both bars is the same.
