Does the bar have a sprocket nose, if so what pitch is it?
You also need to know the bars gauge!

With odd bars I learnt to bite the bullet and take the bar with intended PH/saw to my local Stihl dealer and let them figure out the DL count.
That way I know the required DL count for any future chain purchases.

You got me excited about a 17-foot bar!

Having stood inside some 12-16' diameter trees, I figure it's possible something like it exists from way back.
