I have an old 024 and an 026 that I don't run as much as my 036 saws. They all currently wear 18" bars and run .325 chain. I don't run the 024 much at all in part because the 18" bar is already on the long side for the saw when bucking firewood. I'm kicking around the idea of putting a 24" bar on it with 3/8" chain and just using it for limbing (3" and under). The light weight of the power head plus the extra 6" of reach seems like it would make for a convieniant combination IF the little 45cc saw is able to pull it and oil it. Any thoughts? Will the little saw oil and pull that long of a bar well enough to limb, or would it be faster to hack through them with an axe (ie leave the 024 at home and use the 026 with it's 18" bar).
The other option is to put a 24" bar on the 50cc 026, but I do use it to buck smaller limbs that won't need to be split. I could delegate all of the bucking chores to the 60cc saws, and if I need to I can always take a few minutes to put the 18" bar and .325 rim and chain back on it.
What say ye Internet?
