I’m very new here (as a member), but I have learned so much from this group of high caliber individuals that I couldn’t resist signing up.
Question. Does a ported Stihl 201t really make a substantial difference? Can I run a longer bar? 18-20”?
I’m in a lot of trees and have been thinking about converting to a panther bar with 1/4 pitch sprocket conversion. But if porting a 201 can make a legitimate difference then I would gladly stay with 3/8 and be able to run a longer bar for “huskier” trees. I feel like there is no way a 1/4 could have the durability of 3/8. But I could be wrong.
I’m ready to learn. Learn me up.
