Great info Richard. As a rule of thumb I generally try and use the shortest bar possible for the job required. I also find after a few hours of work the shorter bar helps with fatigue. I also believe that it's a small two stroke engine so keep that chain speed up. Sometimes I need a big bar....but then I use the bigger saw.... everyone is different but this works for me.
@@danwerkman I agree bud . Most of the time I use a 43cc or 50cc saw with a 15 or 16inch bar ..as they are light to work with but as you say if the wood gets bigger the so does the saw bud .
