    I posted a pic the other day of the Total Super bar I put on the MS440. Here is a pic of the new 18" SUGI on the Husky 555, and a pic of both together. :) :saw::saw:

    Sugi and Tsumura bars are just harder than than the rest. Very tough bars.

    I have a 362XP with a small mount Sugihara bar, the bars are great but I find that the light bar on a heavier saw sort of puts the thing out of balance toward your throttle hand.

    Weight first and foremost.

    But also, they are not painted to show the quality of the steel.

    The rails will last longer between dressing and spread less.

    They are supposed to be a harder wearing bar. Meaning that they take longer to wear down the rails. I like that there are lightweight versions in shorter lengths too which the OEMs have yet to really catch on to.
