Oregon vs. Husqvarn replacement bar

[M1sterM]

My bar on my Husqvarna 359 is getting pretty worn, and maybe just a bit tweaked. I've been wanting to get a new bar, and keep my old as a back-up (in case I stick the saw). I jut bought an Oregon Power Match (solid, not laminated, and with a replaceable sprocket nose). I haven't used it yet, but am curious as to what people prefer. I.e. would you have bought an OEM replacement (either the Farm Tough laminated bar, or the HT solid bar with replaceable sprocket), or an Oregon (or other company) replacement?

Thanks!

Aren't Husqvarna bars Oregon bars with different paint? I always thought so.

Yes, Oregon makes the bars and chain for Husqvarna.

Lams WILL NOT hold up to bending. The solid bars can be put in a press and bent back to get a little more life out of it. You did good!
