Hey all. I recently purchased an ms660 and it came with a 28" bar, one very lightly used chain, and a brand new chain as well. Pretty sure it's standard 3/8" .050.
I have a 25" bar and a bunch of chains already so not much need for the 28". I am looking for a 36" bar and chain and possibly ripping chain if anyone has any. I could trade the 24" if someone would rather that, which would mean I have ripping chains up for grabs as well.
I know it's not ideal, but would love to run a 42" bar on the 660 so I could utilize all 36" of my alaskan mill. I read some guys run that size bar on theirs but I'm sure that's for soft wood and not ripping oak lol. Time is not an issue since this is a hobby so would just take it slow and let the saw rest if I were milling some bigger wood. Thoughts?
