Stupid? Maybe you'd like to rephrase that? I'll bet you would. But if you decide not to, be sure and let us know.
And, for what it's worth, I limb almost everything I cut with a 36" bar. Most of the guys I work with use the same thing. We have neither the time nor the inclination to carry more than one saw at a time while we're working. There might be a couple of extra saws in the pickup but that's often a mile away. We use what we have.
So, you'll have to forgive us when we snicker at people who consider a 28" bar to be a big bar. And you'll just have to get used to the idea that when a person talks about how heavy a 24" bar is we tend to laugh out loud. And you'll have to excuse those of us who make our living with a saw if we don't carry five or six different sizes at once just to have a saw for every occasion.
It's not a hobby for most of us, it's how we put food on the table. And, just like you, we go with what works.
Stupid? I don't think so. But like I said, if you want to continue regarding us as stupid that's your decision entirely. We'll consider the source and give your opinion of us the attention it deserves. I think most of us already have.
Hi Bob, I think T is cutting this one with a 14" bar.
