What bar-sizes do you consider optimal for your climbing saws? Like, if you could only have 2?

[QUOTE="The Singing Arborist, post: 7362207, member: 154240"] I've got two echo top handles: the 355t and the 2511t. For the 355, I have the 14" and haven't run a larger or smaller bar on it yet, despite having it for 3 years now. Now that you bring it up, I may try my 2511's 12" bar on it to see how it goes. I don't think a 16" bar would be great on that saw unless I port it. I use this one for my removals and it gets the job done until the wood gets to 14" and larger. At that point I call for a bigger saw. For removals here in Utah, that means I'm nearing the bottom of the tree anyway. For the 2511, I have the 12" bar. It handles that one very well. I haven't wanted to try the 1/4" chain on this guy, mainly because I don't want to have to sharpen that chain. I haven't tried the 14" bar on it, but I'm certain that saw wouldn't like it. I would be up for tying out a 10" bar if they have one. Use this saw for trimming, smaller removals, and other small, on ground clearing duties. [/QUOTE]
