I run 4 climbing saws all with different length bars. 14'' 12'' and 2 saws on a 10''.

 

My advice would be to try and run climbing saws on either the small Stihl 0.50 gauge or the even smaller 0.43 gauge chain and bar as it makes life so much easier.

After all that the 560xp on a 20'' bar gets sent up.

14" on the 200t - the stihl lite bar balances it perfectly & the extra reach does make a difference, both pruning & dismantling. It also means I can step straight up to a 20" for my next saw. I would actually like to try a 16" on one of my ported ones

 

Totally agree, a 200t can handle a 14 no problems and the super light bars are awesome. My 150 comes out for pruning and I have the 10 on that.
