[QUOTE="BigOakAdot, post: 5502123, member: 110284"] I definitely wouldn't get over a 36" bar and you can easily find ripping chain by calling baileys. Fairly inexpensive compared to getting it from a dealer. I've milled almost 30" diameter logs with my 660, but found out an aux oiler is very necessary to keep the chain sharper for more passes. Definitely take it slow though because you could burn it up. Sharpen the chain at least after 2 passes. Also, I added foam pipe insulators to the bars of the mill to help with the vibrations on my hands. Obviously gloves will help with this also. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
