Husqvarna original bars

The Husqvarna 545 takes all Husqvarna guide bars with the Small mount, .325″ pitch and .050″ or .058″ gauge. The compatible original bars are listed in the two tables below. Recommended bar lengths are 13″ to 20″, compatible bars outside this range greyed out.

There are quite a few models, but in practice the narrow-kerf HLN-250 or X-Force bars with a SP33G Pixel chain are the best match for the 3.4 hp power of the 545.

Oregon bars

Oregon makes a large number of Husqvarna 545 -compatible guide bars in the K095 mount, .325″ pitch and both in .050″ and .058″ gauges. These bars are listed in the two tables below.

The narrow-kerf SpeedCut™ and AdvanceCut™ (MLB) bars (.050″) are the lightest to run and recommended for the 545 in general use. In intensive use, the replaceable-nose PowerCut™ models provide the longest service life.
