Was wondering if anyone else has experienced abnormal wear on newer bars?
I recently picked up another 22" for the 2186 and have only put two tanks on the bar.... and it's already looking like I have 5 years worth of hard running on it!
Just checking....

Oregon is a crapshoot for rail hardness.

We had a run of bad power match bars as well as about a dozen sprocket failures. Oregon rep came out to one of our job sites to make sure WE weren't the problem. Burned up a brand new tip in one tank. Rep was at a loss...

Wow good to know this Adam.
Thanks for bringing it up Scott.

Whew, it isn't just me then....not that I'd wish problems on anyone else.
Guess I'll need to re-think bar selection once this one is completely toast. Is there anyway to 'harden rails' for the do it yourself fella? Heat treatment perhaps?
