The reason loggers run their chainsaw bars upside down is to prolong bar life.

Repurpose your old guide bars as machetes
What are you talking about??? Bars that have their chains hand filed don’t last as long…dumbest thing I ever heard and no evidence to support your made up theory. Hopefully no one believes the garbage you spew.
Thanks , I always did this but some guys said I WAS WRONG.
I don't know why I watched this video.
I don't even own a chainsaw.
Anyone who uses a chainsaw, should know to rotate the bar….
I believe the cat at 2:17 said, "I'll be right back".
This is coming from a guy who didn’t even know what the spiky things on the chainsaw were called.
thanks Cody I didn't know this
62 years old and I am still learning things. Thanks.
Any one knows this
Have you ever ran from a barberchair?
I know people that clear cut for a living, they do not flip when the file there bars each time they file their chains.
If you can't notice your oiler is plugged, you're eather blind, stupid or just don't care.
You have got to be kidding. WTF ? People actually ask that ? LOL. 60 and still tying in and riding the sway.
IM NOT GOING TO WASTE MY TIME…
4runner gang gang
Loggers set chokers an pull riggin bud
Like rotating the tires on a car.
I sand the logo off so nobody can tell the difference
hooktender , cutter pacific northwest , 30 years experience, yes flip your bar often , . what is not said here is , take a flat file and even out the rails if you run alot every week , clean gap every day , have a nice day ,
Great video.. learn something new everyday
How about talking safety equipment such as helmet with ear muffs and face guards,chaps,kevlar coat and gloves.Too many people get hurt because they didn't bother to learn about operating and maintaining equipment safely.Every saw I have bought comes with this information that you spent this time talking about.Nobody should operate any power equipment without reading the manufacturer provided manual.They want to prevent lawsuits so it is in every saw instruction box.
Good info especially for an amateur
It's 50% more cause that is the way it was designed….
Growing up in logging country I learned early on the bars are reversed to get a nice true edge. As the bars wears, it will tend to wear on one edge more than another causing the saw to walk and not cut straight. Another lesson learned is to dress the bar edges with a file to take the burs off. One more option for added longevity is to use a trueing tool to set the gap in the chain channel.
"Bars"… In Swedish they are called Swords.
Ty for clearing that up,makes perfect sense.
Finland's fine saw.
If the bar lasts twice as long, wouldn't that make it last 100% longer?.
The bar isn't actually upside down, but yeah, turn your bar over whenever you clean your bar.
Yes…clean your bar channel and take off any burrs with a flat file.
I clean my saw every two tanks of fuel, because I clean it frequently a clean only takes a couple of minutes.
There isn't a right side up or upside down, just because the logo is upside down doesn't have anything to do with the operation of the bar or chain.
It would be nice if Stihl designed their chainsaw with a special recess in the body of the engine where you can slide the wrench tool into. Like you said, the saw and the tool should always be together, why not have a slot where you can hold the tool within the saw itself.
You explained that well
If my maths serves me well. If you were to get twice as much life out of your bar from doing this, that should be a 100% increase of life, not 50%… unless the other side was to wear twice as fast then that would be 50% =)
Those are some great tips.
Not just logger everyone
2:20 Cat!!!!
Why taxi drivers change oil in their car
Because it doesn't matter and you should rotate the bar for every new chain to evenly wear the bar…. saved you 7 mins
I take multiple chains with me that I hand file at night in the shop in an extra bar clamped in the vise I don't got time to stop and mess around filing a chain
Also One other thing to note. Is if ur bar chain groove is wore out in there's a decent amount of side to side movement. It will be almost impossible to flush a big stump flat. In it'll cause the chain to pop off as well. Another Tip on why ur saw may cut crooked is, one side of the chains teeth are trying to take a bigger bite then the other causing it to pull to that side. Sharpening ur saw consistently is essential to a flush straight cut!
When you wear the "right" side out, you flip it over. Your video could have been 30 seconds long.
Great video. Suggestion can you show how to properly sharp a chain.
