Know before you buy
This bar uses a K095 mount pattern, which is common among several brands including Husqvarna, Poulan, and specific Stihl models. You should verify that your current chainsaw uses the K095 mount and requires a .325-inch pitch and .058-inch gauge before purchasing.
Laminated bars are constructed from multiple layers of steel, which makes them lightweight and cost-effective for general use. While they are highly durable for tasks like firewood cutting, they are typically designed for standard maintenance rather than heavy-duty, professional logging.
No, this product is the guide bar only. You will need to purchase a chain separately that matches the .325-inch pitch, .058-inch gauge, and 66 drive link count specifications.
The sprocket nose features a small wheel at the tip of the bar that helps the chain move smoothly around the end. This reduces friction and heat during operation, which helps extend the life of both your chain and the bar itself.
While this 16-inch bar is excellent for firewood and limbing, it is primarily intended for smaller to medium-sized tasks. For felling large trees, you would typically require a longer bar and a more powerful chainsaw setup.
