What do you guys think of this engine size to bar size ratio chart

[2000ssm6]

I think this guy needs to get out and run a few more saws before he spews off at the mouth too much more!

in my strange little world, that's accurate

i've run a 42" bar on both my jonsereds 930 and husky 2100 no problem . . .other than an overbalanced feeling

I agree to the original chart. Especially the first part of it. The bigger saws can pull longer bars. Especially 80cc can have more than 20".

Standard here on for example a 346XP NE is 13" Narrow Kerf...
To have 15" I think you need to step up to a 357 ..

The good old 3cc/1" of bar rule seems to be much simpler to comprehend, and equally valid. No chart required, just some mental math.

Next time you come over to the states, you should go take a look at how saws are displayed at box stores and dealers. You'll laugh.

When I had my dealer order me a 13" NK bar for my 238, he admitted having never seen or heard of such a thing on any saw he had sold or repaired. The 238 came with a 16" bar from the factory, and the only other one I've ever seen in person had a 20" on it...

I agree. And if you aren't worried about speed and/or are only cutting soft wood (or dead wood), then 2.5cc/1" of bar is adequate.

The math:

3cc/1"
14" = 42cc
16" = 48cc
18" = 54cc

2.5cc/1"
14" = 35cc
16" = 40cc
18" = 45cc

I myself would like to go to the 3cc/1" eventually, but for right now I run what I have. Notice the only saw I have that I've put a bar on is 36cc and got a 12" bar though :greenchainsaw:

Bar length depends on how close the tree is that you are needing to hide behind while cutting a dicey blowdown.

My chart would show that.

1 foot away--28" or better

2 feet away--etc.

Now THAT'S the kind of approach I can subscribe too.......

True, but it really shouldn't be that way - .325NK doesn't do the NE346xp justice, it performs much better with LP or RSC chain.....:censored:
