What size bar do you run on a 60cc?

I know the feeling I got so many new old stock Oregon bars here various sizes all in there cases I should put them on eBay

So yesterday I spent some time filing the edges and sanding down a little surface rust on one of the bars that came with my 036Pro and have it looking real nice. Used the Valspar Ford Gray. I was excited because it's a 20" and I thought I had chains for it already.

I could see that the Stihl number was was pretty faint and after painting noticed that it had 6821 stamped on the tail. I'm guessing that I have a 3003 000 6821. So sadly it is .325 .063. I'm sure it would cut well, but I want to run 3/8" .050.

And yes the rim sprocket I took off the saw was 3/8. No chain was included when I picked it up.

Another useless bar

I have some 20" 3/8 .050 Stihl bars if interested.

20" L&T on my 562. If that's not enough, out comes the 681 with a 24" L&T.

Mostly 18. But not a huge difference between that and a 20. 20 is for 70cc.
The 385 would get a 24. Maybe a 20. With 8 pin.

20" for me on the 562. Gives the best sideways balance.

Ban brother! Where you been?

 

[johnny5ny]

mostly 18" but sometimes 20 and 24 on my 562
16 once and a while for fun

Just jumped the fence from the other site today. I don't even think about a saw above 75°.
Actually I was looking for Randy and found him here. Pretty cool site.

Now where's that Juan Fiddy?

Yep, same. Maybe 100 18"/20" hard nose gb bars myself. Never used, should eBay aswell.

18" on 036 Pro
20" on 262xp

20" 3/8 .50 husky/ Oregon on the 562 may run a 18" at some point. If it's bigger I got saws/bars for that too....

My 357xp pulls a 24" just fine. I don't typically use the full length of the bar, but I will bury it on occasion. If cutting only bigger wood, I will use a bigger saw.

Not sure if they’re still available or not, but it was a factory option.

I mainly cut fir and pine, so when/if I pick up a 562, it'll probably be 24".

20" Total Super with 3/8-0.050 RS on MS361 with mm gasket delete and timing advance.

24” or 28” light weight bar on my 2260 here

First time out today with a 357 with a 20'' tsumura lite & tuff , balance was excellent.
Then took out the 562 with the same bar,
That was not nearly as nice to use, tho it had more power.

I'm almost always cutting hardwood, sometimes tuff stuff like Hickory, White Oak and Chestnut Oak. My 60 cc saws wear 20" bars, as do my 70 cc saws. I put the 24, 28 and 36 inch bars on my 77cc and 92 cc saws, since I have plenty of them (about 1/2 dozen of each).

They pull the longer bars with much more authority.
