What is that a 440 with a 42" bar? Will it even pull that bar?

Thin skin huh?

Skip or semi-skip chain?

Sure.

Roger, I think you have to pick 'Other' in the survey.

14" ms200t. I am pretty short and kept getting the heels of my not so cheap boots cut upwith a 16", so I switched. Been there ever since. If you do want to run 12, whoever said put it on a 192 is right, just be careful, they don't handle the impact abuse the 200 does!

Just thought I'd mention that I'm liking the 12" bar so far, saw runs better and it doesn't snag my rope or lanyard nearly as much.

I would hate to lose 4 inches.

just, if i might. unfortunately i have been at two different places this year where the only thing i brought that they retainded was the easyness of 14" bars

I have a 12, a couple of 14's one with a 16 for take downs. I prefer the 12 and use it 98% of the time, it stays out of the way, is easier to climb with in the tighter trees, fast to sharpen and the saw really spins with it on there.

I use a 14". Never tried a 12". When I used a 16" it did seem to hang up more than the 14". I am sure it would just take some getting used to. I would like to try a 12". Size doesn't matter anyway, it is how you use it. Right?
