ms200t bar length

[Burnham]

14 inch on mine, but over here on this side of the big water it's not uncommon to see a 16 inch bar on a 200T. I find the 14 gives neutral balance at the top handle...12 is ass heavy and 16 is nose heavy. Not by much, but I feel it.

[John Shutler]

14 all the way.like matty said its what you lernt with, but also alot to do with what the people around you use

[Bodean]

16 inch bar,

you wanna get something done with it dontcha?

[vduben]

yes it is ...ive heard about your crap sharpening ,jokin dude i was just playin with the first comments made .

I got a 12 on my spare saw wich cuts nice but ive always used a 14... mine dont feel underpwered with out it in fact it amazes me how fast it does cut any way the matter of 2"s each to your own i spose ,i was brought up with 14" bars and thats what ill stick with saw just dont seem to balace right without ,for me that is.......

ditto, i was given a 14 and told it was a mans saw:icon14:

hehehe

always used 14 always will, and if you have a 14'' you can get alot more done than a puney 12''

i use 12" seem to get the job done ok

[jpbeaver]

ive got a 14" on my main 200t and a 16" on my other which i use for conifers alot. have a few 12" bars knocking around somewhere.

[skyhuck]

14" for me plenty of power i find,change 200 every 12 months though, as they soon start to loose some grunt

[rumination]

I've always liked a 16" on my 200T.

[Stumper]

Leon, That is because you are a man of superior intellect and discriminating taste. 16 inch bars on climbing saws for me...except I do have a 14 on the little Echo CS3000.

[Marc]

14" light bar for me, started climbing with 12" I personally don't see any difference between the 2. Only difference is with a 14" you can maybe make 2 more cuts before changing up to a bigger saw.

2" is hardly a big difference.

 

I was chogging down a Beech with a narrow taper the other day, I kept with the 200t as long as I could, then switched to a 361, man I wish I did it sooner, it was far more productive and effcient in my opinion.

 

I may go back to a 12"
