Question on using a 20" bar

[singinwoodwackr]

I’m sure it did but it won’t oil the bar anymore…

I always likes the ms250
And they are great for firewood guys but liking a 20” bar is just unrealistic…in my opinion…

Bah…just pull out…rev it up to get oil flowing, cut a few more inches, rinse, repeat

Oh, yea…18” is pretty much max on that size saw regardless of mods.

Want a 20”, 3/8 50cc? Ms261…

I think a 3/8 72 driver bar sucks on 50cc saws, especially stock ones. That's more like 60cc.

For sure I still have a ms250 that I used the *s-word out of years ago, she always wore an 18”’and I don’t use it much anymore but I just may break her out soon and knock the dust off of her for old time sake lmao….

Hell I got a 026 and ms261sm and I only put 18” Bar on them…granted I got other saws so if I get into wood ove that, the 362, or 462 get broke out lol….

The 261 with 72dl, 20” works great foe limbing. Good reach, good cut speed.
Now, cutting 20”+ wood? Nope…too slow, imo. It will get through it, in time, as long as the chain is really sharp, but, will be slow.
20”+ wood on a regular basis? 70+cc is kind of a minimum, imo.
Ideally? 90cc but, I’m biased…

I have the 18" on it and it oils good
