I just picked up my first STIHL, the dealer says it's a Farm Boss 026, and has a 3.3 cubic inch engine. The power head has an 026 label, and looks like an 026, so I'm thinking the dealer is confused and just paired a Farm Boss bar with an 026 head. Does anyone know if there really is such a beast?
Also, it does not seem to have enough power to pull the chain (18 inch bar) through anything larger than about 6 inches (pine) without a lot of delay. The chain is supposed to be a .325.
Any comments? Should I make them order the apropriate 16 inch bar? If so, what chain do you all recommend? I cut firewood, mostly pine, for our home use, and stick to trees under 18inches in diameter.
Thanks!
