I bought this bar a couple of months ago when it was on sale. Finally got around to putting it on yesterday. So far I like it. I'm not much of a video maker, but I did do a short review on it here...
Looking forward to bucking up those logs in the background when the rain stops. I'll get a better idea of how the bar performs. But so far, with just a few cuts on it, I like it.
I’ve been using two of those Sugi bars, a 20 inch and an 18 inch, for a couple years. I really like em. I have yet to dress either bar, and they have a lot of miles.
Is the Sugihara the same brand/company as Tsumura? They look similar and would like one for my Echo CS590 Timberwolf but the only one I can find is the Tsumura.
Different company. I was going to buy the Tsumara, but the driver count was less on the 28" bar than the Sugihara, and I have lots of chains that had the right driver count for the Sugihara. Plus, I talked to a couple of guys that were in the timber industry, and they liked they recommended the Sugihara. That sealed the deal. I doubt you would go wrong with either. The reviews are great on both.
Sugiharas are generally a Stihl mount pattern . They come with adaptor rings for various other makes of saw . Tsumura makes bars for various makes of saws . Both companies make an excellent product . Also , look for Total brand bars . They are Tsumura bars and sometimes can be had for a better price .
I'm looking to replace my current 24" bar on my 372. I think I'm interested in one. Any recommendations of a distributor for them at a decent price. I'l stick with 24 since I have a ton of chains. I like the balance too
Where ever there's a sale. Woodcuttersgarage is where I got my 2. Steve's a good guy to deal with. I've seen 'em as the deal of the day on ope too. Today the Husky branded bars are on there: OEM Husqvarna 272XP, 372XP, 395XP, 562XP, 572XP 24'' Bar, HT380-84 Dl 3/8'', .050'' https://www.woodcuttersgaragellc.com/
372 is large mount, K095 is small mount (for smaller saws). You don't want the K095. Leave him a note when you order stating it's for a 372 for added insurance.
HLSupply is where I got 3 of mine. Watch their “deal of the day” plus seems like they have a good sale around every holiday.
