How well will a 3/8 20” bar & chain work on one?
16" max bar length for me running .325 ... even maxed out, my oiler struggles if I run this saw into anything where I have to bury the full bar length in wet wood for some time. Saw oils fine in anything under 14".
Must be real cold up there or there’s an issue with your Oiler.
Mine is great @ 20” of .325” here in Georgia.

Why push a small saw that hard? Use a bigger saw, if a 16-inch, .325 is not enough. That size of saw is a great small wood and limbing saw, but anything past a 16-inch and you are pushing it past what it was designed for. Your money, your saw, but I have larger saws for heavier stuff.
That seems like sound advice.it really depends on what you're cutting... out here on the west coast with our "soft" woods, 20 inch is the standard bar for an ms261. but i know guys who cut alot of hardwood back east don't like to go above 16-18 inch
I don’t do much cutting, but like the feel, balance and response of a 16” .325 on My 260Im in the south east and 3/8 20" is the standard for the 261. Pulls it just fine in hardwood. Lol at people recommending 16" for a 261. Guess they dont do too much cutting or they have a robotic back.
