[QUOTE="Chainsaw Jim, post: 5818901, member: 122776"] You should get the longest bar available for your saw. Shorter bars equal more torque and chain speed in wood and it's easier for you to bump the tip into something that will kick it back. A longer bar won't get away from you as quick, and its extra weight will help keep the saw pointed in the right direction but will also introduce your lower legs and feet to the danger zone. [/QUOTE]
