Hi all, new to OPE & need help. I have a exhaust ported 261 c-m that I want to change bar to 25"Rollormatic Light ES. My Stihl supplier won't support that understandably. Fyi, I also have a 16" Echo 3450 & want to move to a 3/8p, 0.050ga chain (semi-skip?) on the 261 so that 1 set of files for both. At 71 I have hopefully bought my last saw but want the option of the 25" bar. Feasible ?? Besides the bar any suggestions on a chain/sprocket combo?
I have quite a bit of clearing to do and a longer bar makes limbing & bucking easier for me (I can bend my knees better than mu back . I'm way better with steel than I am with wood even tho I've been using chain saws since I was a youngster. BTW this is my 1st Stihl & I love it these 1st 3 years. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!
