While cruising eBay for a Stihl 32" bar for an 066, I came across this ad:

I like the idea of having a lightweight saw for limbing, especially with a longer bar, but how effective could it really be? I've owned a couple MS250's, and neither seemed to be screamers even with 16" bars, so I couldn't imagine running one with a 32" bar (even if just for limbing). Plus, $545 for an MS250 seems a little steep, even with the longer bar.
It did get me thinking, though, about the feasibility of using a longer bar on smaller saws. And, I can see how it would take some stress off your back. Anyone have any success running this type of setup?
