How about Douglass-fir.

I guess I need to find a longer bar.:monkey:

Yes indeed. You could never cut a tree unless your bar is at least as long as it is wide. Besides, I could never handle anything bigger than my third leg! :blush:

Yup to compensate for big wood.
Something people with short bars like to say.
This is how I use my 046:
28" windsor bar, full skip square ground chain, 44" maple.
The guys in Michigan had the same theory. "Longer bar, less bending". But when standing in a fence row in southwest Missouri, anything over 20" just makes more hardware to hold over your head... This, is the best site I've ever stumbled across by the way...
That's funny because 28" seems short to me.
but 30" is about the comfortable limit in Box.
How about Douglass-fir.
Yeah, you can't do that with that short bar. lol :hmm3grin2orange:
i dont see the other 13ish feet of bar lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n6ccZWvdRE&feature=related video of a member on here, also i know your joking jred lol
also yes we have hardwoods here not alot, but we have/ use to have cottonwoods thatll dwarf almost anything those eastern hardwood boys have
Whats the definition of a short bar. Bar length relative to saw, relative to tree size, relative to man hood.
Is a 41" bar overly long for 60" wood? 28 for 44" 32 for 45".
When you are standing next to an oak/maple/ash/birch/elm/popple waiting to be limbed and bucked, up to your nutz in snow (literally), you'll know why 20" is the most common logging bar around here.
Snow and ice change the game. You aren't walking to gracefully on ice covered timber with broad limbs, most limbing is standing on the ground.
Less cost, Less weight, less teeth to sharpen, less chance of throwing a chain, less chain to stick in the snow and hit rocks/dirt/ice with(hot chain can temper in the snow and ice), less bar and chain smaller area needs to be stamped down around the base of the tree to drop it (falling cuts are made low), cut fast in northern hardwoods coupled with a 70cc saw. I am out of breath.
In short, weather conditions/terrain/type and size of timber dictate the bar you'll use.
I sincerely hope you're talking about chainsaws and a certain species of Australian Eucalypt Rick or you need to get yourself checked
looking at chainsaw forum seems like 20 inch is longest a lot run ,around here loggers all run 28 32 or 36 ,i run 28 ,seems like would have to bend over to cut the wood more with short bar with my 28 can stand up and cut firewood and easier on the back seems with longer bar ,any input on the short ones here ?
