Logging in Vermont.

[Joe Vachon]

What would be the typical chainsaw bar size the loggers in Vermont use?

Depends if we're talking pedal tractor logging or not. But seriously, I'm not from VT so I'm not qualified to answer. Welcome to the forum.

When I work in the northeast, I use 28" bars on 70cc saws. Mainly because it's what I have (and not in the "must" sense, in the possessive) to use. There isn't a lot of big wood in the northeast, but there is a relative abundance of hardwood. 28 might honestly be a bit much. I would guess 24 would be ideal, but every sawyer has their own preferred setup.

average length is short like 20-24". I run a 32" and my buddy from south vermont runs a 26". I know someone from south vermont that uses an 18" on a 90 cc saw cutting pulp and chordwood, that saw screams. Whats the goal of this question?
