Nowadays living in an era with too many choices and there are times those choices make us forget the reality
I believe that factories are getting more nad more their clientele into PERCEPTION so they live somewhat in fear to try anything different
In my pictures you can see my Masterminded 151T with a 14" 1/4 cause Stihl in my country doesn't import a 16 or more bar for their own reasons
1/4 is a chain more into agriculture for clean cut the fruit trees and we as arborists we tried to implement into treework. However the 3/8 1.3 is the ultimate chain to go top to bottom on a tree or at least 2/3 of it while in the air.
And decades back Stihl had again the .325 as their small narrow chain which i have a bar i never used
Now Oregon advertised.325 1.1 nano which for me is a big NO, let alone the set in my country comes with double racker chain (safety) which I believe is the outmost stupidity. Product for professional should have "safety" homeowner features
So most of time i go as big as possible cause i love speed and power but during work i need durability and duration
Guys don't be afraid to try
