|  Bar sizes on your saws
Just wondering what size bars you guys run on what size saws - and further to that what sort of work do you usually use these for? For example: me *260 with a 16in bar usually on palms and ground work *440 with 16/20in bar usually 16 on palms and 20 on med sized urban work. *660 with 20in when firewooding or 25 on stumps/bigger trees occasionally stretch to a 36in on the biggest of our work (rarely) |

338 XPT-16 inch aloft Stihl (I have a range of bars 16, 18, 20, 25, and 36) 361 anything from 16 ~ 20 Firewood, felling < 2ft DBH Euc's, Blocking down 460 anything from 16 ~ 25 Firewood, felling < 4ft DBH (occasionally use to run 36 at a pinch before the 660) 660 anything from 20 ~ 36 Firewood (not so much), felling 2ft DBH+ I am in the market for an 880 with a 42 or larger, I have enough big timber to fell to warrant easing the pressure on the smaller saw and simplifying the task. Currently all (with exception of the climbing saw) run 3/8 .050 to keep things simple and cheaper (chain by the roll). I believe the 880 will be running 404 thou. Regards Tony | |

Did you run your Special stock? Just wondering how it compared to your 357XP. Much difference between the two? | |

I do have a 2165, which is the same as a 365 and it'll out cut the 357xp in larger wood. But the 357 is faster in smaller wood. They are fairly close though. Both great saws. | |
