OREGON INTRODUCES ENDURAMAX, THE NEWEST ADDITION TO THEIR TIMBER HARVESTER CATEGORY
EnduraMax™ bars are versatile and fit a wide range of harvesting equipment.
The improved bar nose has longer wear life and is more durable in nose pinch situations. The optional Jet-Fit bar-mount system minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity. Jet-fit’s slotted motor-mount design fits harvester equipment outfitted with automatic chain tensioners and easily slides in and out of the bar clamp, saving up to 20 minutes when the operator needs to change the bar.
There is minimised rail wear, chipping, and spreading with Oregon’s specialized 3/8″ thick high-grade alloy steel. This material allows the bars to hold their original form and resist bending even during heavy use. With slower wear these 60% longer lasting bars reduce the cost of operation. The new EnduraMax bars can be used on the same saw systems as the existing ¾” legacy bars.
All Oregon harvester guide bars are designed and built with the following features and benefits.
- High-Grade Steel: Featured on the 3/4″ Pitch Solid Harvester RSN guide bar and double-ended guide bars for minimized rail wear, chipping, and spreading with Oregon’s specialized 3/8″ thick high-grade alloy steel. New Enduramax Harvester bars are equipped with high-grade AR500 steel.
- LubriTec: This increases the life of the harvester guide bar and saw chain. The dam allows the chain drive links and oil to have closer contact, significantly reducing oil waste.
- Induction Hardening: On the traditional 3/4″ bars – Increase the longevity of the guide bar with precision heat-treated rails. The induction hardening process offers good resistance to wear and chipping.
- Precision Groove: Maintain chain cutting stability and minimize wear. The straight and square-milled grooves are designed for consistency.
