I recently purchase a lightly used Stihl 044 with a ES 20" bar. What this should work on 80% of my jobs I was wondering what bar lenth combo you would recommend for larger jobs. Most of the bigger trees locally are oak. I am thinking a 28" Stihl ES bar would be a great complement to the 20". Also what chain for this bar? Is a Stihl oilomatic chain any better than Oregan and 3/8 over .325? .50 verses other sizes. I just don't want to make a purchase and it being a leason learned and wanted to pull from the vast experiance here. Thanks
