New bar for my 562xp

[DR Shaw]

Anyone tried a 28" bar on a 562xp? I've been thinking about getting one, but not sure that the little 60cc engine will be enough to perform decently. Also, any bar suggestion? I've only had the stock 18" bar on it, but I'm curious how Foresters are

I have 20" on mine. It rips. I'd go carlton or oregon. Not the best bars, but not crap either.

Stay 18-20.. just sayin

The Doctor's in the House! I think it's probably D.R. but welcome anyway.

A 24 is the max I would go. I have a few 365's that can pull a 28 just fine but are a lot happier with a 24.

+1 On the shorter bar. I run a 20" on mine and it screws. The heated grips make my day too. The 562, definitely a good choice in saws.
