I picked up a good used 026 pro that is in need of a new bar and chain. it has a 18" bar with 325/063 chain.
Should I stick with the same set up or go with 3/8" like the rest of my saws. I really prefer the full chisel chains...the lo-pro and the like don't seem to last as long and need sharpened more frequently. I realize I will have to replace the sprocket to match if needed.
This is going to be my "in between" saw....I have a small 011 for limbs and small branches and a 038 super for the bigger stuff.
I'm not against dropping to a 16" bar on the 026 if it will help a 3/8 chain work better.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
