13" bar for 201t?

[James905]

I'm on the hunt for a 13" bar for my 201t. Any one know of one that will fit?

 

I love the 12" setup at it cuts like a demon! But it is just a tad short, the 14" I personally think looses a lot of power, really changes the gearing but obviously handy for the bigger timber when your almost considering a bigger saw up the tree... For me id rather just get the 550xp up.

 

So my thoughts are how perfect would a 13" setup be! Geared well with almost the power of a 12" and giving you that bit more reach before a bigger saw.

Left field suggestion, can you send the 201 to Spud and get it back capable of running a 14" bar?

Just write 13” on a 12” bar with a permanent marker.

It will cut really well, you won’t notice the difference anyway, but you’ll feel better.

14 inch bar is no bother on a 201.

Thats not a stock saw though is it.

So its not really a true depiction of an unmodded saw pulling a 14

Ours pull 14s too and they can bog a bit in the bigger stuff.

I like the 12 inch bar on the 201

Actually it’s one of the first 201s with the flywheel upgrade, not modded per se.

 

imo anything less than 14” on a 201 is a waste of power.

 

Everything will bog, depending on the pressure you apply, the wood you’re cutting and chain sharpness.

I bought a couple of 201tc`s and went with 12" bars, was listening to the chimps trying to kill them the other day and thought 12" was pretty much the limit.

Totally disagree mick.

I can only comment on my experience with the 201 and imo 12" is the better bar choice.

Obviously your experience differs
