18" bar too big for MS 200t?

[StihlNick]

Picked these up last night for next to nothing. Both have 18" Picco bar and Semi-chisel chain. Have never seen an 18" on a climbing saw. Anyways just wondering what your thoughts are?? These had been sitting a while but I got them cleaned up and running great!!

I run a 16" with no issues. Would be nice to have a little more bar on some larger spars!

I wouldn't think that would balance well but I could see the extra reach being advantageous at times and also a bit more dangerous.

Nice score, btw! 200Ts in good condition for cheap are tough to find.

My Echo 330T has a 16" bar and I'm thinking about going to a 14.
