Bars too big for a saw

[Deets066]

Better yet a 20” bar on the 2100 with a velocity stack and exposed foam air filter so everyone can see it easily

Recent experiences influence...

After cutting some dry hard euc I don’t want to sharpen any more teeth than I have to.

And then after digging into a tangled filthy dirty pile of salt cedar, I don’t want more bar sticking out the other side into more dirt or dirty wood, etc.

...and after burying 28” in hard yellow pine with the 2166 back to back to rippin that euc with 20” on Randy’s 6100, I prefer the mo powa feel...so current plan is match the bar to the wood and run the bar with plenty of engine for that length.

Another idea I had, maybe a bit out of the box. What if to reduce drag on a full comp chain one didn’t file the depth gauges on every other cutter after a few sharpenings?

I like having enough bar that I don’t have to bend like crazy limbing, but I do prefer matching the bar to the wood when felling and bucking. Makes it easier to watch the bar tip and not end up in the dirt. That said I run a 14” on my climbing saw, 18” on my MS250 for limbing and chunking as needed. I have a 20”, a 28” and a 34” setup for my 462 as needed. The 34 wears full skip and only comes out for big sticks. Before I sold my 880 I ran a 41” on it for stumping and big stuff, but that saws to heavy and unwieldy to use unless absolutely needed.

I personally go no bigger than 18" on a 50cc saw. If I need bigger, I go up to 60cc saw.

What I got out of this is that I need a 60cc saw.

Rather stay conservative on all rakers which will generate thinner chips but help keep chain speed up.

Sometimes it's good to live life on the wild side. Try different things. Take an extra swipe off rakers. Cut fasta. Lol

If the saw will handle it , sure!
I have ran very aggressive chains on my PS-7900 with just an 20" B&C.

Hopefully this weekend the 395 will get 8pin and 24”

How do you like that cannon on the 026? It's a 24" .325?
