First, BBR don't hardly ever cut hardwoods im not even aure if he knows what the word oak means. Second,  thats too much bar even on a heavily ported 357/9. 24" is already pushing it and you sure as heck ain't chasing the back cut with either saw using the entire bar. Ported 359 was my go to saw for years, before I got the 562xp, and the 359 wore a 18 or 20" bar. Wouldn't dream of throwing a 24 let alone a 32" bar on it and asking it to pull it reliably and have the saw last for long.
