What bar and chain to buy for 357XP?

[blis]

They do here also, but only in 13", witch I don't use, even the 353 is notisably rear heavy with those.......

IMO 13" with 353 is fine, but it might be that im used to 242xp with 13" which is rear heavy too...

I like rear heavy better than nose heavy :hmm3grin2orange:
and 13" is a fast bar in small wood.

Agree with Troll that both 353/346 are rear heavy with a 13" bar, but I still use it
but a 15" bar gives a much better balance !!!

And the 357 that I is also a little rear heavy with a 15" bar but feels nice with 16"-18" I think

Well I use .325 NK bar's, 13" or 15" on my 2152, an 15" or 18" on my 2159

I'm not even gonna get into an arguement about bar length...:biggrinbounce2:

However, if you order an Oregon Powermatch bar from Bailey's for your Husqvarna, it will come painted gray with a big ugly blue "Husqvarna" painted on it.

Oregon Powermatch bars are good stuff IMO.

Imo the 353 is just as fast with 15" as with 13" - and the 16" is only two DL more than the 15".......:biggrinbounce2:


... it is more probable that it may make a difference with the 242xp......

But why carry the extra 2" when you dont need it? opcorn: opcorn:


you know, my dad has felled ~70cm pines with 13" bar

Gary I know you want an orange saw with a blue and gray bar, you just don't admit it :jester:

Look on this pic, here I will use a 13" on 2152 and a 15" on the 2159

 

[bwalker]

I have never seen a 13" bar.

Sure he did, but there is really no point doing it! :greenchainsaw:

Looks pretty silly, if you ask me........:bang: :bang: :bang:


The 13" bar that came with my 353 went off pretty fast, don't even know where it is, and I don't care.......

Jonsereds would look much better if the ditched that ugly black cover in favour of a red one....

HAHAHA!

Nah... now then... if the saw was orange and gray, with the goofy blue and gray bar... I might consider that!

Why should Jonsered "ditched that ugly black cover in favour of a red one"? They look great already.
Same as I mean that all STIHL should be "Pearlescent White"?
