Tsumura Bars for Stihl

Tsumura offers a number of guide bar models for Stihl chainsaws in the Medium (3003) and Large (3002) Stihl bar mounts. Although fewer than those for Husqvarna, the Tsumura models are a valuable addition to the extensive original Stihl bar selection. Tsumura bars are equal or higher quality than Stihl originals (depending on the model) and often have better online availability.

The tables in this post list the Stihl-compatible Tsumura bar models that I could find available online. The bars are listed below by mount, pitch and gauge and the Stihl saw models that take each are shortly indicated. I have also included a link to Amazon (affiliate) to the bar, compatible Oregon chains and a bar&chain combo whenever possible. (Workshoppist.com is an Amazon Associate.

The Tsumura Stihl selection is quite limited and no bars are offered for Stihl Small mount (3005) saws. For more options, please check my Stihl bar data page and an earlier post on Oregon bars for Stihl.

3/8″ pitch (3003)

The D025 mount 3/8″ pitch Tsumura bars fit most medium-to-high-power Stihl gas saws with model number 300 or larger (MS 311, 391, 362, 462, 660, 661, 500i), the largest electric model (MSE 250), and old models in the range 029…066.

These bars are available in .050″ and .063″ gauge and in lengths from 16″ up to 36″. (See original Stihl bars, Oregon bars)

NB. Though compatible, the longest bars in the tables may be too heavy for your saw to run – please check my bar length vs. cc guidelines.
