Thanks so far guys,

Just got back from my Stihl dealer. Ended up picking up a 20" bar with RS chain.
Also picked up some RM full skip chain for my 24" bar.

He also advised that I could put a 28" on it if I wanted, and said the same thing, to run full skip with it. And he mentioned that the RS isn't as good for dirty wood as the RM is because it will dull out quicker.

Most of the spar is lyin on the ground, on a mountain side. I figure whether I stick with the 24" or move up to the 28", I'm still gonna have to hit it from both sides.

Any reason why the 28" would make the process better/easier?
