Rvalue, I know the feeling. We have got into real big stuff, have a 48in canon. It's helped us out a few time's. Wanted a 60 for the hell of it, look good on the wall anyway LOL! Afford yeah ouch, because for that long, canon is my choice. And Ca-ching!! As for lost anything being shipped, how can that be leagl when you pay? How the hell do they not even have to explain, just whoop's? wtf? iNSURANCE OR NOT i WOULD FLIP OUT. Not everything can be replaced.
Just a thought men, for a once a year job why not make a long bar from 3 shorter bars.
I have one made from 3 old 28'' oregon log falling bars, i made it years ago for my westford rail mill. Not sure if its 60'' or longer and i have not fell a tree with it but i sure could if i wanted to.That bar cost me nothing but time, cutting, beveling the sides then welding back together both sides and grind off both sides flat again.
I will find it at work next week and take a pic, for sure its not as pretty as a new cannon but will fall and cut up a big tree just the same and thats what you want any way.
I don't think i have ever seen a 60'' bar except a lucus slabbing bar made by GB for the lucus deticated slabber.
