How short is too short????

[pgg]

you find the ones who've done the courses rather than learning on the job

are the one's who've usually had a whole truckload of clueless PC crap brainwashed

into their heads from paper-shuffling rulebook thumpers who likely never did step foot outside of

their office cubicles

[paccity]

your right tramp.LOL. a friend shopped that the real pic is the 36er. i posted the second pic a while ago and waited to see if anyone caught it. i have a 42 and 50 cannon for it just don't get used much. just havin some fun.

 

[tramp bushler]

I wish I had had a 50" for my 2100s I sure could have used it . . The 42" worked good . Butthere were several times I had to block out to get a buck off .

That nearly sounds like swearing

Smallest I run on my ported 361 is a 20" B&C. Thats for climbing as well. It normally wears a 28" B&C, or when I need it too a 30". Is that too long?

 

[tramp bushler]

Not at all . We used to run 32" bars on the 041 , and 038 . For chaseing on the landimg . A 28" fit them better but was hard on the back if you had alot of limbing to do .

I'm just an old chunk of coal, no, I mean a home owner-firewood cutter. Dead fall and blow downs with the occasional "big one" on the fence row kinda guy. Trees average 18 to 30+ inches.
20" B&C is most common on power heads in the 50-60cc range, and they seem to work.
My 2171 is one of the "bigger" saws in the circles I run in with a 20"-24' b&c and i throw the 28" B&C when needed.
I like the hi speed/fast cutting the 20" provides when bucking because lets face it,,who wants to stand around all day waiting on an under powered tool to get the job done. I enjoy cutting fire wood but it's still a chore. A job to be done and gotten over with so a guy can get home and enjoy the fruits of his labor,,and pop the cap on a cold and frosty.
Hell, I couldn't even handle, wouldn't want to handle some of these monster saws you guys use. I borrowed an 066 with 36" B&C a few years ago to drop a ?4ft dia.?,, the tree hit the ground, no where close to where I was aiming and the weight/size of that out fit put me in muscle failure!!LOL(it was a wide open pasture and I let every one know this is well out side of any thing I ought to be doing) I'll Never try that again!!!

I'll drink a toast to you guys out there knocking down the BIG timber, on steep terrain with monster big saws.

I think you small bar guys look at this completely wrong.

The longer the bar the more you can slay at the same time!!!! :msp_w00t:

Hey tramp... maybe they just have a case of micro bar so therefore envious of your big bar! :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[tramp bushler]

actually today I ran an 18" bar on my little 50 cc Jonsred . 20" on my 372 . I was climbing and topping this small stuff around a guys house. . I didn:t want a longer bar. But then I was reachin the saw up not bending over.

Definatly need to get a new floating rim clutch drum for the Jred. it has a wore out bar and paddle wheel drum. in 325 no less. gonna go to 3/8 7 tooth. 20" . 72 CK. .
saw isn't a screamer, but it does ok.

Generalizing like that is hopeless, and just shows your ignorance....:msp_rolleyes:

spelling mistake Troll: it is spelled a-r-r-o-g-a-n-c-e.

 

[tramp bushler]

no its spelled, H-I-G-H-L-Y. I-N-T-E-L-L-E-G-E-N-T.
.
. Or not fitting into the norm of turning off my brain when I pick up a power saw.
