The guide bar and the chain play an important role in the operation of a saw unit as they centralise the cutting movements of the machine. There are various guide bars and chains on the market for manual tree harvesting. Cuoq Forest Diffusion introduces here the different models of guide bars and chains for harvesters proposed on its site at attractive prices.

Harvester guide bars and chains

The harvester guide bar is an important part of a well-functioning saw unit for forestry operations.
The guide bar holds and guides the chain to ensure accurate cuts in the wood.
Heavier than the other parts of the chainsaw, the guide bar is used to control the correct rotation of the chain during operation.
This device offers the possibility of more efficient manual harvesting.
The guide bar is also a support for the chain. It is important to choose the right guide bar for successful harvesting.
Several aspects must be taken into account in order to make the right choice: the length of the guide bar, the gauge, the attachment of the guide, etc.

Why change the guide bar or chain on your harvester head?

The guide bar and chain are wear parts of the harvester. Over time, the guide bar can reduce the performance of chainsaws. It can happen that the guide bar is no longer able to hold the chain of the machine correctly. This would make it very dangerous to use the harvester during a manual harvesting operation. This is why it is important to replace the guide bar on the harvester head after a certain period of use.

Cuoq Forest Diffusion sells two main brands of guide bars at unbeatable prices:
Iggesund Forest and Oregon. The condition of a guide bar should be checked regularly to ensure the safety of the user. We recommend that you change the guide bar when you notice deformations or small dents on its surface.

It is also necessary to buy a new guide bar for the harvester head if the current one is bent. The harvester chain should also be changed when the guide bar is replaced. This prevents premature deterioration of the new guide bar as the unit is used for tree harvesting.

Guide bar and chain accessories for harvester heads

The guide and the chain usually come with a set of accessories (saw sprockets, rollers, repair kit).

Saw sprocket

This is a sprocket made of strong metal. The saw sprocket is placed on the motor shaft outside the frame under the removable cover. Its role is to be rotated by the machine’s drive shaft.
The wheel transmits the rotational movement to the chainsaw chain by means of teeth shaped on its outer ring.

Wheel

This is an important element of the harvester in forestry operations. The wheel is located on the end of the guide bar. This is what guides the chain correctly. For optimal operation of the chain saw, you should remember to check that all the small teeth on the wheel are in place.

Repair kit

This is a very practical chain repair tool. This kit makes it easy to repair the chainsaw chain in a shop or during a forestry operation. Repair links can be used for cutting, adjusting and riveting rivets.
