Husqvarna 596687493 Chainsaw Bar 28 Inch 3/8 .050

Product Description

The HUSQVARNA 596687493 is a genuine OEM chainsaw guide bar designed as a direct replacement for professional-grade Husqvarna chainsaw models. This 28-inch bar is machined from steel and built to maintain accurate chain alignment during heavy cutting operations. It is spec'd for 3/8-inch pitch chain with a .050-inch gauge, two critical measurements that must match the drive sprocket and chain to ensure safe, efficient operation. Licensed arborists, tree service crews, and experienced chainsaw operators are the primary installers of this component.

This bar is suited for demanding cutting applications including forestry work, large-diameter felling, and extended bucking operations where bar length and durability are essential. The 28-inch length provides extended reach for larger timber. Compatible models include the Husqvarna 445 and Husqvarna 450 Rancher, along with other select Husqvarna models that accept a 28-inch bar in 3/8 pitch and .050 gauge. Always verify bar mount pattern and nose sprocket pitch before installation.

Installation Notes

Bar replacement should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with chainsaw safety procedures. Power down the saw, engage the chain brake, and disconnect the spark plug before removing the bar.
