Adding a longer bar??

[Project man]

Hello, I'm on 6+ acres of property and @ 4 acres are steep hill side terrain. I would like to remove some large trees to open up a view to the lake below us and then when I feel proficient enough, remove trees that will someday fall on to our utility line serving our home. Currently I have a Husky 450 rancher saw which works well except the chains need constant sharpening. I was wondering if anyone has replaced the standard bar on the saw and substituted a longer one for easier bucking and extended chain life? I'm new to this kind of logging and appreciate any advice and recommendations.... SH

Husqvarna and Oregon recommend a 20" bar max.
