I'm a short bar, light saw guy when I can be. There is enough time for futzing with heavier powerheads and bars.

I started out with a 20" bar on 70cc saws and later went to 24" to increase reach/lessen bending.

I get 95% of all my trees here in CT with 24".

I'd rather fell a large diameter tree with a quarter cut and a 24"bar than bust out a 28" or 32" or 42" bar.

I've been thinking I might outfit my ms362 with a 24". 261 already has a 20".

If you do, get the light bar for sure. I don't like the 25" ES at all on the 362. Makes it way too nose heavy. Even a light bar probably won't balance great, but it'll be better than the ES.

@Bermy So for 6’/2m DBH…36”? I have up to 3120 60”, but chance of nails 😬😬😬 I felled some 5’ DBH with the 3120 42” and it kicked my butt…partly poor chain choice. .404 semi chis full comp.

My 36” LW Oregon feels better than 32” Stihl on my 288…stihl bar needs to go on a carbon fiber diet.

I don't cut trees that size, 40-43" dia has been my max for work so far. All I had then was a 360 with 20"
Double cut the face, bore the centre, fan it, then walk the back cut around.
Even now my 462 only has 20" on it.
Talk about power/weight ratio, for me it's height/strength ratio 😁

:^D

Haha!! You found an oldie
I got punked when I had to demonstrate chain ID and sharpening in a train the trainer course lol 😂

I love that old photo. I'll bet the saw, bar, and chain weigh fairly close to that of our friend Fiona.

Maybe put your chin strap on before you watch this.

That was basically insane.

Especially given that everyone seemed to driving safely just prior

That wheel had a grudge. Hit the car twice.

The vid drives home the importance of seat belt use

 

[davidwyby]

That was basically insane.

Especially given that everyone seemed to driving safely just prior

Half ton truck suspension and hardware doesn’t hold up well to oversize wheels and tires sticking out like that, and/or someone forgot to tighten the lug nuts.

 

[Burnham]

WOW!

From two very short glances at the end, it seems that the brake disk is still in the rim.

 

[flushcut]

Ball joint failure is my guess.

Mad ladder skillz

Same planet

 

[lxskllr]

O.o WTH's going on there? Looks like a mine cave in, but sounds like a soccer match.

 

[davidwyby]

He IS felling some wood…and hisself

 

[cory]
