Re: Bar Length
« Reply #20 on: February 14, 2014, 09:29:02 am »
I've been cutting my firewood for nearly 20 years with an old Husky 154 with a 14" bar, 0.325, 0.058".  Just recently upgrading my understanding a little and thinking of getting a longer bar.  The manuals give 18" as the max length.  That might be OK for me,  but I'm just wondering what sets that limit.  Is it the oil pump?

Cheers,
Gregg
I would put a 16" on that one, but I am sure you can stretch it to 20" if you really need it. Balance and handling will of course suffer with a 20".
