Sure, but what sort of rating and bar length of a chainsaw are most people using? Is everyone doing like 24 inch bar and 90cc and just ripping though them as fast as possible?
 
It's always been a variety of different size saws. You don't need a huge bar......but previous years there has been some huge saw n bar wood. That gets cut up pretty quick. I'd guess 16-20" bar would be optimal. Feel free to run what you bring. :cool:

Most of the work is done with sub 75cc saws with 20" bars. Alex and I did a lot of bucking last year with a 562 and 357 both with 20" bars. It's not a sprint, we'll be doing it all day so plan accordingly. 4 people max are cutting at a time with the bucking trailer setup, that fed enough wood for 5 splitters with 2-3 people crew on each.

There is usually some large chunks that take 36"+ bars. Doug has a couple of big ported saws with big bars that get most of the work done. I'll bring a ported 395 with 37" and 42".
 
Mr Gott would u like me to bring 394 and u bring ur 36" bar to play with it some more?
