    I'm looking to pick up a 28" light weight bar for my 2095. Just looking for opinions on the two listed.

    I’ve got several sugiharas. Mostly because I think they look so good. The first one I bought was 28” and it weighs almost exactly the same as a 24” standard Husqvarna on my meat scale.

    Good morning, I would say that tsumura and sugihara have about the same performance. But the cannon bars is the top of the crown. So is the Price.

    Yah cannon is a bit pricey for me as a firewood hack. The light weight bar is more of a want then a need. I could get along fine with a standard bar but I would like to try one of the others.

    Both are nice bars. I would be happy with either one.

    While I haven’t owned the Tsumura lw, I think the two brands are tit for tat. Pick which one you like the look of and be proud of it. Lol.

    Does anyone know about how much a Stihl Light costs relative to these bars? More, less? Anyone know a source for Stihl Light other than a local dealer? i can never find one lately.

    Tsumura is the least expensive. Followed by Stihl Light, and then Sugi. Stihl is the lightest of the 3

    I have done that often, like every day, lol, and I have not found any decent deal. Really, only thing is some stuff on ebay that is overpriced packages with chains, scabbards, etc.

    I have a 32" TsuMura and a 25" Stihl light weight and like both. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Tsumura 24" light for my 357 because it will use the same chains as the 25" on my Stihl. I cut firewood at 22" and it's a pain to noodle with the 20" that's on the Husky now.

    Archerplus has good prices on the Tsumura bars.
