Thoughts on a new bar for my 562xp

Well if it's like cars and trucks each sticker adds at least 10hp right? Those bars are nice I remember seeing one that had a reddish orange anodized look to it but not sure what brand may have been custom job

 

Total super pro, has held up great.

 

Also he is running a sale with the discount code in this thread.

Service - Performance Outdoor Equipment, Dolmar, Echo, Jonsered dealer | Firewood Hoarders Club

 

Better decide before the end of the year. Thanks for the info and code

 

That is probably the best deal on a tsumara / total bars around and Nate is great to work with. Plus I think the total logo looks better then the tsumara lol

 

I wish they made them plain for us folks that don't care for the shiny look.

 

You just have to use them and the shinny will dull. I just polish mine so it stays shinny!

Thought I would add this photo it is not mine it is the chainsaw guy from Canada he sells tsumara bars and other things on ebay.

After looking at this I have no idea why the 562 is even sold with out the wrap handle and that bar looks pretty good on it as well.

 

Yeah when milling that clear coat can get hot enough to burn and start having sawdust stick to it

 

I'm not much for shiny stuff myself and the saw will only be shiny new for a bit so figured should have a shiny bar too. You know to impress the ladies.

I don't have a lot of use for the full wrap handle but they do look good and the bare metal look of the bars has been growing on me.

I have a 00 Frick to take care of milling duties

 

Yes, POE is a welcome addition. He finally made 0.050 bars available here. Thechainsawguy on Ebay is also excellent, looks like he stocks more Husq sizes and guages.

 

Very shiny saws here, very shiny , have theese saws cut or are only for pictures ?

 

Yes. The Tsumura bars are nearly new in my first picture. The winter picture is pretty old, when the 261 and 461 were almost new.

 

mdavlee what other options are you thinking quality is my main concern and know first hand more expensive doesn't always mean better

 

Total/Tsumura is the best bang for the buck. Cannon might be a touch tougher but is more expensive by a lot.

 

Thanks I'm going to send a message to the fellow carbine mentioned and order one just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything

 

Brand new 562XP (my first pro saw, replaced 445) with a 24" Tsumura Light and Tough. The balance on this setup is really, really nice!




I also have the 20" and 28" Tsumura L&Ts for this saw. I wasn't at all sure what size I'd want to run on this thing so I bought one of each, figuring that I'll sell whichever ones I don't use to get most of my money back.

 

williaty very nice, and welcome to the land of BTU's

 

Very nice setup there. I bought a 20" total pro which is the same as the Tsumura didn't opt for a lite version though. Purchased from fordf150 from his site he was great to deal with and mailed it out fast.
