cutting oak with 88, which bar?

[treeman82]

Got a removal planned for this coming week, red oak. I measured the tree today just for ####s and giggles, 56" DBH. I have 2 bars for my 880, and am unsure on which one to use as both have their strengths and weaknesses. 41" bar or 59" bar. Any thoughts? Just have to make 1 cut so the crane can lift the stump out.

If it was me, 41 and walk it' just my 02. I always like the smallest bar I can get away with, just for balance and speed.

Its about impossible to get a straight cut with a long flobbley bar.
