RollematicE vs RollematicES

[blsnelling]

I've got a 24"/25" RollematicES bar. I'm interested in a lighter bar, so I'm considering a RollematicE. My bar weighs about 3lb 12oz. Does anyone have a 24" RollematicE that they could weigh for me?

I don't think they exist......

I got out my Stihl catalog and you are correct, of course What similiarly priced options does that leave me?

What about that light-weight Oregon bar, the PowerMatch Plus Reduced Weight bar? Do they offer that one in 24"?

I said "similiarly priced" I've priced those and they're like $150!!! I'd love to have one though. Who else maked a laminated bar?

Oh, I missed that part. I can see your point - $150 versus $35, quite a difference...

My dealer said he would sell me a 25" ES for $50 (knocked 7 off of the shelf price). Does this sound high?

 

[blsnelling]

No. I think they're more than that from my dealer.

ES bars are heavy good quality solid steel. You can buy a Pro-lite bar for this saw but I think they only go up to 20"

What about GB bars?

I use mostly Stihl E & ES bars. But have had good luck with the GB CN40 Titanium alloy but the paint comes off quickly if thats an issue for you. I also have two Cannon Super Bars but haven't used them enough to tell if there is any advantage and if so, if it was worth the extra cost.

Just found that there is a 24" Oregon Pro-Lite bar, part# 240SLHD025. Found one source at $38.

Are either the Cannon or GB bars laminated?

 

[blsnelling]

The POWER MATCH® Plus Reduced Weight Bar isn't available in 24". The 28", part# 280RWDD025, is $145.

Neither

Don't think so hard... They do... 3003 000 7831 - Stihl Laminated Lightweight Professional 25 inch bar. 3/8 0.050 11 tooth sprocket.

What about GB bars?

He wants a lighter bar, not a heavier one......

the pro tops are heavier than comparable bars. My 16" protop feels heavier than my 20 ES bar...... Never ran a TI bar though....

I could use a late Xmas present....


One of these days I'll try the GB TI bar that everyone raves about. just don't have a need for one now. Got a couple extras of various sizes hanging up now....The stihl ES bar on my 7900 is sexy and functional, and I don't have to worry about the tip blowing out or the rails wearing, like with other brands I know of...lol.
