Top handle bar lengths - what do you use?

12 or 14?

 

Been on a 14 always but now starting to wonder about getting a 12.

Loose a bit of weight, more power in the cut etc...

Thoughts on a postcard

Cheers

Just for clarity this is on the 200t/201t/540xp size of topper. Not the baby ones

12 for me , 14s just feel wrong ,sap power and burn saws out quicker.

12 is too short for dismantles (IMO)

I had 12 on my first 020, then 14 on the second, will stick with it for the foreseeable.

prefer the 12 " for top handles any bigger wood in the tree just get a back handle sent up much easier on the wrists etc.

Only ever used 14 on this sized saw, 10 on the new breed lightweight reduction saws

14 on my 200T....12 on my 160T but getting a 10 inch for it.

200T is the only topper that can handle a 14 "bar imo.

Ive seen a 16 on a 200T-gave me a giggle
