ArborMax or ArborPro bar?

[SmokinPiney]

It's time for a new bar/chain for the cs56. Im lookin to up it from an 18" to 20" bar and was lookin at the different bar/chain combo's at bailey's. I usually just buy the oregon kits from the big box stores but baileys has some great prices.

What's your opinions on the arbormax and arborpro bars?? Thanks...

I bought a 16" x 0.050" ArborPro bar and chain for my Husqvarna 51 and ran a tank of gas through it on Saturday morning. It performed well but I did notice that it said "made in Taiwan" on it when I received it. If that matters to you, you may want to move up to the ArborMax as I see in the catalog that they are made in the USA.
My only complaint from Saturday concerns the yellowjackets that got me twice before I knew they were there.

I put a 16" ArborMax with a Woodland Pro chain on my 350 and have no complaints.

Thanks for the replies fellas. I called baileys up today and spoke with a rep who pointed me in the right direction. Ordered up a 20" ArborMax and 2 full chisel chains for the ol girl. Time to let the chips fly!
