Plan from the start was to buy my ms 261 c-m with the 20in bar and purchase a shorter bar later on. Well the time has come. What are your personal preference to a 16in or 18in bar and chain combo.
I just wanted the 20in bar to cut down the oaks I had to their gone now I need my shorter chain for firewood
I’m sure if it comes with a 20 it will be just fine if he feels like it can’t then he should get a bigger saw and why would someone want to cut from 2 sides bucking..... waste of time20" oak on a 50cc? From both sides with a 13" bar like a logger would do it that's just fine.
You're asking me or the OP?What’s the average size of wood your cutting?
Yes Are you cutting anything bigger than 20?So just keep the 20in bar for my firewood?
Yes Are you cutting anything bigger than 20?

I would recommend a different newer bigger sawAt 20" beech wood I would recommend a 038.
Why do you want a shorter bar the weight difference wouldn’t be much at allI was asking just because I found a Oregon pro lite bar and chain combo that says it'll fit my stihl perfectly and it's not bad priced
I would recommend a different newer bigger saw
Iv used one for 30 min then went back to my other saw but I liked itYou have a lot of experience with the 038?
