[Jimothy]

That pretty much says it all. Can anybody recommend an 18" bar and chain either semi-chisel or full-chisel?

Regards,

Try a search. I know there was a pretty extensive thread in the Chainsaw forum on this saw.

I always recomend the pro bars but no point in exceeding the saw value with an 18in TSB.

Carlton A2LM cuts good and is modestly priced through Baileys.

The bar is just a KO95 which is small husky and can be bought anywhere. A decent Oregon pro-lite bar and a full comp chain or two will suit any needs you have.

Semi-chisel = slower cutting but lasts longer between sharpenings
full chisel = clean wood for faster cutting.

The forester bars are OK and about the best deal for chain and bar combo
