Okay.....so I now have a 28" Stihl Light ES guide bar on my new MS-461R.
When I bought the saw, the dealer gave me an extra 28" chain for it. I now have the OEM Rollomatic ES bar as an extra and don't need it.
I don't need two 28" b/c's. So.....I'm now thinking that I want a shorter b/c for it. I'll try and use the NIB chain and the take-off bar as trading material to a dealer. I know that I'll probably need to kick in some $$'s as part of the deal, even though I'm going to a shorter b/c. I'm okay with that, not worried about it.
But, help me decide on an appropriate (shorter) bar length for the saw in question. Maybe something as short as 24"? Me....I'm thinking that would be a good length.
TIA!
