Husqvarna techlite bar

MacLaren · Aug 19, 2010

I just ordered a 20" from madsens yesterday for $87, if I like it I will get the 28" also, which at this time is the only two models made. I think the 28" was $114. Does anyone have any experience with either model. I sure do like the 20" bar at only 2 pounds. They are very Sharp looking too imo.

I have only seen pics of them so far, looking forward to reports on them!

It is the first laminated RSN bar I have ever heard of.

Holy cow thats expensive! I can get a 20" Oregon Pro-lite bar from baileys for $37 and that can't be much more heavy.

I was thinking the same thing. For that price you can get a cannon.

Ah, come on guys. Let's give em a chance. Lord knows we spend too much in cad anyway. Right? :cheers:

Well, I'm interested. Fixin to order a few light weight bars, 16" 18" and 20".

How does the techlite compare in weight to the Oregon prolite? Anybody know?

mdavlee · Aug 19, 2010

They're still cheaper than an oregon rw bar on the 28". I will take a look at hillbillys next week hopefully. I would like to see how they look compared to the oregon.

The Cannons hardly are lightweights! :greenchainsaw:

Baileys list a 20" Pro-Lite at 2lbs shipping weight, I guess I just stay with those!

Weight is the main reason I mostly use laminated bars.

I remember husqv saying 2 pounds. They mentioned the same weight for a 20" as a 16" bar

Yes, I know - but Husky Norway knows nothing about them, at least they said so when I asked. This is not as strange as it sounds, as that is the sales organization, while the factory relates directly to the mother company in Sweden - a different "branch" so to speak.....

Yes, but the 16" bar they referred to is the solid body Power Match, not the laminated Pro-Lite.

Exactly. That's what I meant. BTW, I ordered yesterday, they said should be to me by tomorrow, so I hope to post picks of the bar and report back with how it feels in the wood also.

Thanks man! Pro-Lite are the bars I'm lookin at. 16" for the 346 and 18" for the 357, was thinking 20, but I already have a good 20", though not a light weight.

What do you think about running .325 chain on a 357? I'm thinking 3/8" would be better but I don't know. The 346 is staying with .325, it works too good to change

.325 LP/LPX or RSC may be faster on the 357xp, with an 8-pin rim - but what is better depends on some other factors as well. Small differences in cutting speed doesn't mean much in practical use.

Aw shucks, I'm just gonna slaper on my my brand new
372xpw and let her eat! Hell, if I really like it ill put it on my brand new 395xp and really give her a spin. At any rate should make for some pretty pictures tomorrow. :givebeer:
