So I'm getting on in years and haven't the strength my mind tells me I have.
But....
I've got a fresh load of logs in the front yard, and a bunch of standing hemlock that need to lay down. A couple of them are good sized. Bigger around than my 18 inch bars will pass through.
Also I'm sick and tired of bending down so low to buck on the ground.
I'm thinking to get a longer bar! 'never had anything but 18" except on top handles.
I'm tending to 24"bar on the Husky 346xp . only a 50cc saw. But, I am in no hurry.
What I'm wondering, is if the longer bar becomes unyieldy to the point where not bending so much is not appreciated? Standing 6 inches back from the pile sound attractive until I want the dogs to bite. ;-)
