18 inch here.

20" on 3/8

 

Better than using a 046 up the tree, anything bigger and its the 066.

I find the 560 that I have sufficiently strong and grunty to run 18" bar .325 chain driven by an 8 pin . It is modded slightly though .

 

Do you have more than a muffler mod on your 560?

I don't know is the honest answer . I sent it to petemate ( on here ) with some money and he sent it back running stronger and louder ! He has cut and shut the muffler , that you can see , but I don't know if he has done anything else . I fitted the high top filter and cover from a 562 and thats all I can tell you other than since he did it ( late 2011 or early 2012 ) its been easy to start never cut out on me and totally reliable .

18" on mine. Saw is only 6 months old. Really excellent saw.

It's actually 7 for one reason only, PPE! 8t means you need class 2 trousers, 9 would be class 3, but trousers aren't made to that spec

 

 

No problem for stubby, the warranty run out on him decades ago. They just fit a new part when he gets broken.

Can you wear 3 pairs of class 1 trousers or a 2 and a 1 ? You'd be plenty warm

You could, but you wouldn't be able to move!

As I said I run my 560xp on an 18" bar.....and I carved my very first bear with it no problem...got a bit bored one afternoon and made it for my wife and our boys....

took me about half an hour to carve it....but took me and my cousin an hour and a half to carry the bloody thing to my truck

 

The boys loved it when I got it home.... its been tidied up a little and a few adjustments here and there....the finished bear now stands proudly in our back garden
