84" that's huge!! Do you take it surfing at the weekend?!!

Seriously though is it purely for milling? It must flex a lot....must have to use a smaller bar to start cut if felling surely? Have you ever felled anything that needed it?

?

You couldn't use it for felling,
Totally useless outside of a mill frame.
Flexes like paper in the wind.
Biggest bar I've used for felling is the 48" stihl.
The tree was 8' diameter.

Yeah that's why I asked, 48 is the biggest I have ever used 84" must be huge. Very handy to mill big stuff with poor access I bet ?
