20" is too much for that saw, 18", probably pushing it. A 16" would be about right if you don't push it too hard. I guess you could always lock the chain brake and use it as a cross cut.

if u been running it 2 yrs and still like it.
i wont say no more. but i still dont think its gonna do much with a 24 inch bar.
then again i didnt think that saw would be running at 2 yrs ,thats why i took mine back. a whole lot of a tools quality
is determined by the user knowing his tool . so more power to u. an good luck.

Well I feel like cutting to the chase here. As posted earlier it will not run a 24" effectively and you should be glad you got 25 trees and 2 years out of a $100 box store saw. The way I see it that is $4 a tree not too bad. As for the 24" experts please correct me if I am wrong but I doubt any company is building long bars for Poulans. I believe your only hope would be NOS or unless they are uni-mount or fit some of the Huskys. I have a new 20" that will fit that saw and I would love to send it to someone for $17.
Just my random observations,

how big a saw?
I'd say you are about 20cc's short of pulling a 24" bar with your Poulan. The old 4000 Poulan @ 65 cc's was almost enough and does okay if the chain is sharp, it was nearly unstoppable with an 18" bar. You'd be better off getting a bigger saw than trying to wamp the $hit out of the poulan you have. More cc's is your best option.
