What size bar? Why did you order the Oregon bar? Is it better than stock or did you just want another? Thank You for the help! I think I'm going to order the 421 from Fordf150.Stock bar and 91VXL056G semi chisel. Got an Oregon Pro Lite bar en route. I really, really like this saw. I'm using nearly every day.
Sir, I think you are right about that stihl 201. I just cant shell out that much coin out at this time.If the op wants best (subjective term) and he is prepared to pay for it.....well the MS201 rear handle is very hard to beat power to weight wise. It a pro saw with perfect balance. Bolt up a reduced weight 14" B/C Stihl light bar and PS chain & you have in your hands about the best in the business. I know this as I have this setup. Very light and capable, mine is standard carb but the new ones are Mtronic.

A spare bar is nice and especially sense that has an inboard clutch you can easily remove the powerhead if you get the bar pinched again and use the spare to free in.16", I needed a spare in case I could not repair the pinch from the other day (I was able to repair it but I need a spare as I am using this saw literally every day, two tanks of gas today already).
I'm quite pleased with my 421 from @fordf150.
Thanks. No, as for now I just need it to use on my SXS out looking at properties.Congrats! He ships fast, too. Do you have a lot of wood to cut?

I ordered the carlton chain that he recommended and Im going to get the stihl picco chain as well. How do you like the oregon chain?Get the chain that he recommends just in case. You will like how easy it is to start.

I find a light 32cc saw and a 12" bar with a larger diameter tip sprocket is great for brush and trail clearing. The short bar and wide tip don't leave enough slack for the chain to get off the bar, so it never throws a chain. That's important when you have to walk a ways back a trail and leave the fuel and tools back. This one will easily cut anything with the bar buried, although they're getting pretty old now and a newer saw would probably be a better choice.

On the steep and rocky hills I'm cutting through the brush cutter would be slow and hitting rocks all the time. These woods are choked with briers, vines, shrubby things, etc. The various vines pull the autumn olives and other shrubs over, especially as branches from larger trees fall on them. To cut in a trail you have to carve your way through stuff from above, below and all sides. As I said up thread, I have never thrown a chain off the 12" McCulloch bar with the wide tip - I don't think it can come off. All my other saws/bars will throw chains.Sorry, won't do that, for reasons. Much prefer 21 cc brushcutter with 10" carbide-insert blade for the bigger stems and/or one of a bunch of smaller chainsaws with Granberg "Clip-N-Trim" attachment bolted onto bar. For the tall stuff, Clip-N-Trim thingie onto 16" bar on polesaw. I got tired of popping chains off bars. That Granberg thingie just simply prevents snags & pulls. For $20 fuggeddaboudit.
