I am like that favorite Instagram channel You follow, showing You what turns You on - but I ain't charging You a dime!

You are very welcome!

common I m living about 30-60 min away from you. But beech, oak, ash and poplar are often big enough that bucking with 36 bar is a lot easier with that.

Well your mileage may vary and I don't mind anyone wanting a 36" or even longer B&C.
I for one have never seen any need for such long bars and their shortcomings IMHO overcome
their usefulness. But then again I wouldn't argue...

Long bar shortcomings.
Not what "she said"! LOL


I find 20" to cover most of what I cut.
The exception is my own log pile where 24+" are required, and when cutting really small diameter stuff in which case I increasingly utilize mid sized PH's and 16" bars.
It all depends what You use Your saws for, there is no ONE setup to cover all the bases.

I run 20" bars on my 50 cc & 57 cc Husky 345 & 357 . My 5105H has a 20 " & 7900 I run 24 " & 28 " depending on what I am felling or bucking . I routinely run a 36" on my P-51 on larger pine / for cutting applications .

 

[blades]

64xx 24" down, 79xx 28" 0n up to 36", 084 42" and 60" ( .404)

60-80cc stock or ported and 20 inch bars my favorite combo 24 inch rarely, for occasional big stuff 90cc class ported and 36 or 42 inch bar

This is *B-S..... A black coloured body is the best to radiate heat off. The very reason why piston-aircraft-engines always were painted black!
