Bar for 361?

[City Slicker]

My ms361 came with a Timbersports 20th Anniversy bar on it. The graphics on the bar looks really cool and thinking of taking it off and hang on my shop wall. Do I just order another Stihl bar or should I order a bar from my Bailey's catalog? So many bars are listed in there! I want to stick with a 20" bar. Any ideas?

I personally would stick with the Stihl.......It is gauranteed a quality piece ....

Bailey's has a good selection of bars that are 'moderately' priced, it does not have to be a Stihl bar. And as many on this site will agree, an 18" bar on the 361 is sweet for almost any use you may want.

Yup, get a 3003-000-8921 Stihl bar. Its the same bar you took off but without the logo..

Lil' help?

What's the ES bar ? Im confused?

What's the ES bar ? Im confused?

The ES is the step up from the "E." A bit heavier, but a tougher bar. It's solid, whereas the E is laminated. The ES also had a replacable tip. I don't believe you can get a 20" in the ES, which is why I recommended the standard E. To get the ES, you need to go to a 24".

ES is indeed available in 20". I believe it is available down to 16".

Sure? They've got a new 22", but I've not seen a 20".

 

[Peacock]

Sure?

Yep! :greenchainsaw:

 

[fishhuntcutwood]

Fair enough. I hadn't seen them, and didn't see them on Stihl's website.

ES 20 inch: We sell then on most of our 361's..

 

[fishhuntcutwood]

Well in that case, I recommend the 20" ES!
