I have recently buried 20" bar with 8 pin on my stock saw in dried red oak, no problems. I keep the 7 pin in case it is needed but thus far no. I don't have a larger bar but think I will get 32" when needed.

Does a 7 pin run the same chain and the 8 pin? Or are they different? What model Stihl bar is a 7 pin, assuming 3/8 and 20"?

Wild, after reading your poll here 20"/24".
A 24" bar will handle 26" or even 28" wood in a single pass with a little over bucking.
Right - actually a 20" bar can handle a 50" tree for felling, but not for normal bucking.......

No problem there, you can use the same bar and chain.

22" ES bars only come in .063 gauge and take 76DL. Part# 3003 000 9425. Now why they make this bar, must have been some anal feller not wanting a 20" or 25", LOL.

.063 only is an indication that it is primarily for the European market (at least not the US one), and/or maybe it is the result of a large "special order"......
Just guessing, really!

Just curious, but is it common to have over 600 views and only 75 votes?

except the "swiftly left" part.
I'm sitting here trying to figure out what I am missing.
What does a Mod see that I don't?

OK, I have gone and done it. I got me a big ol fat bottom girl. I went to Mount O.P.E. today and brought home a 441 with 20" sugi hara bar. I'll get a bigger bar later; I spent enough for one day. Pics to come shortly...
