My old 044 died over the weekend and isn't worth resuscitating, so I'm looking to replace it. 95% of the cutting I do (firewood and occasional removal) I can handle with an 18" bar. Every so often I come across a big oak or locust that I pull out the 25" bar for.
So I'm thinking for that 95% an 026 would do the trick...but could it handle the 25" for that other 5%?
The alternative is an 036Pro, which I know could handle both, but costs $100 more. I want to stay with Stihl because of what I have invested in bars, and the dealer is right down the road.
Should I go with the 026 or the 036Pro?
