What brand of bar would you recommend?Balance wise Id go with a 20". I run a 25" Stihl ES bar on mine but its a bit nose heavy.
Thank you for the replysOh and my 20" is a Techlite
20" Sugihara light is perfect on my 562. If I need a 24" bar, I grab my 372, and if I'm cutting smaller stuff I grab the 550xp with a 16"

If that is true, then I have to ask what size bar you run on your 550!? [emoji15]We have the same 3 saw plan! Just different bars.
My 550 came with a 18". I was surprised it pulled the 18" as well as it did. Currently it has a 16", the result of doing property lines last summer.
My 562 has a 16" bar but in the fall branded a 18".
My 572 has a 18" bar. I have tried a 16" as well.
Here in Nova Scotia the wood is not big, so I try to get away with as short as bar as possible, though never less then 16".
I have never had the privilege of trying a 288, but have heard great things.
572,? I assume it is a 372 or a 576 - unless you are one of the "test pilots"?
