Big bars

I run a 50'' bar on my 090 and it eats up the wood and I'd like to see a pic of that monster of a bar:msp_scared:

Don't have any pics on this computer yet but it is in the thread 2101 top muscle saws page 49. Its on the 088 in that pic

only long bar video I have is my Homelite 770 running a 46 inch roller nose and .404 chain. My Husky 2100 is a stronger saw so it should run this set up better than the 770 did.

I ran a Husky 2100 with 32" and 42" bars in cedar which is relatively soft and with the 42" you had to feed it quite a bit slower. I would think 60" would really really slow the saw down and could only be used in soft woods, no way on oak. Now watch somebody prove me wrong.
It's kind of like an 84" bar on a 090, that much chain really takes it out of the saw. The next time I use that big bar it will be on a 137cc 090G not a regular 090.
The Husky 2100 is for sure a great saw, but it's only 6 cubes and has it's limits even if it could oil a mile long bar.

My 090 isn't a regular 090 either :msp_smile: it's ported and polished and the jug has been cut to bump up the compression to 162 psi. The last tree I ran it in was a 6' willow and I was impressed, 84" bar 404 full skip stihl square ground.
