Do you think some of the smaller saws are over worked with larger bars? There not made for heavy usage.
Yes we have plenty of trees that big in the north east, not the majority but not uncommon either.Which straw are you clutching at with that one?
I can bolt a 42 inch .404 combo on a 2100CD, run it in sandy dirty Pine and overwork that saw, fly over and cut 36" clean PNW Fir with it and with a sharp chain it would be like a hot knife through butter, hop over to the East Coast and sink it into some 36"hardwood (is there any that big left?) and overwork it because of a blocked oil delivery hole.
All depends on how sharp the chain is, how experienced the cutter is and what you are cutting grown where as to how under worked or over worked a certain combination of CC's over bar length will be.
When I started cutting firewood my 2.0 craftsman with a 12” had problems cutting 24” maple. About 41 years ago I got acwake up call. I went back and got the craftsman 18”/3.75 saw again another disappointment. After that I was going to buy the biggest saw I could get my hands on a Husqvarna pro 2100/99 cc. I destroyed everything in sight. I did buy a husky 240sg pro saw too. With no one to ask I learned on my own. When I met my dealer he taught me a lot.Yes we have plenty of trees that big in the north east, not the majority but not uncommon either.
And i agree with everything else. The operator dictated what's enough or too little for the job. 14" bars cut 26" trees in the right hands.
