STIHL ES VS SUGIHARA LIGHTWEIGHT CHAINSAW BARS

[weedkilla]

Recently it was suggested that the cannon super bar was lighter than a sugihara, and the cannon super mini was lighter again. Can't recall the thread, nor if actual weights were posted.

Some bar weights are here - http://www.arboristsite.com/communi...h-does-that-chainsaw-bar-weigh-thread.246412/

The Oregon ProLite 18" 3/8' .050 should be lighter than a Sugi. I have a couple 18" ProLites and like em.

The Tsumura Husky small mount 20 inch was lighter than the Oregon Pro Lite of the same size. I will have 16 and 18 in soon to weigh.

Is what I hear. I'd like to try a 18" .325 .058 Tsumura.

I can't yet speak to the Sugi's durability, but the quality and workmanship is top-notch

I love the balance and feel of a Sugi

I've had two Sugi's for over 3 years and they have held up very well. No wear on the rails yet.

I bought my first about 4-5yr ago and just recently filed the edges (wasn't bad and I'm not fulltime, but they get run hard while I'm cutting firewood). I think Sugi's are every bit as durable as a Stihl.

Sounds like a 562xp with a 20 techlite would be an awesome setup

It obviously is, and it is a very popular combination!

Actually, the Techlite bars primarily were made for that saw, according to Husky statements over here.

I wish Stihl made a 20" ES Light. Because their 28" ES light has to be equal to or lighter than a standard 20" ES.

It's ridiculous how light the 28" Light is.

I'm going to buy a lite 28". What's the weight of an ES compared to a Sugi 28" lite?

 

[sawfun]

28" Techlite weighs about the same as a 28" Stihl lightweight bar. A Sugihara is likely to weigh close to a Tsumura and will also likely be a bit lighter than a standard Stihl bar, although probably not that much different in the shorter lengths.

Please clarify for the duupid. A techlite is a Tsumara? So the Stihl lite 28" is about the same weight as a Sugi lite 28"?

 

[weedkilla]

There are some 28" weights here-

Stihl ES light, husky techlite, and oregon reduced weight are all under 3lbs on 28".

Not even lose. This is digital scale with my 24" Sugihara 2lb 14oz . My 18" stihl es weighs 2lb 13oz

Thats impressive!!!

 

[watsonr]

The 28" Sugi weighs 3 lb 4 oz, 24" at 2lb 12.8 the 20" at 2.78 and the 18" at 2.04

The Tsumura is a solid bar.

The 28" Sugi weighs 3 lb 4 oz

The 28" Sugi weighs 3 lb 4 oz

Can u weigh a 24 sugi randy to make sure my scales r correct?

 

[watsonr]

your off an ounce it's 2 12.8... not bad for a fish scale.
