Looking at the manual / specs on a 460R, it says recommended bar length is 15" to 24". The saw is has a 3/8" pitch standard profile loop. It goes on to say a 0.050 or 0.058 gauge drive links can be used with the corresponding bar.
I want to set up an Alaskan style mill but I it will need to be a bit longer then the recommended 24" max. I am thinking at least 36". I can find some bars and chains with the correct pitch and gauge but none that say they will work on a 460R.
Is there something I am missing? Or will these longer setups work on a 460R but just not recommended and therefore not listed as compatible? I know 70cc, 80cc or more would be much better for what I am trying to do but 62.5cc shuould be able to handle it if I don't run the saw like a sprint car, right? Or will it just not work?
Thanks in advance,
