    Couldn't resist! 24" 3/8" pitch .050" gauge. Lightweight Sugihara bar. $100 free shipping what a steal.

    Slapped it on my 034 Super and took off the 20" bar for now.

    Paired with an Oregon EXL chain (full chisel and beefy!) I can't wait to test it out.

    Stahl's sawmill and logging supplies. Just ordered a bunch loops and the bar. Best prices for Oregon loops I found.

    HLsupply's price is $35 more for the same bar.

    And that should do me good for now. 14" bar on the Makita, 16" on the 026, 18" on the 028, 20/24" on the 034 super, and 28" on the ms460.

    Bar looks great. I picked one up a couple years ago for my 660 but before I could put it to use I gave it to best friend for his 460 that replaced his 044 that was lost to a fire. Also have the 24"on my 562xp and like it.

    All the loops were in boxes specifically labeled for that chain - i.e. the retail version as opposed to say the dealer making loops from a roll......except for the 20" exl 3/8" .050" - that showed up in the coded plastic clamshell version of the packaging and labeled as "B72". I don't like those packages because once you open it you can't close it and it's fatter and oddly shaped too. I wonder why only that loop was like that.
