I would be interested in doing a class with other members. As I said, most in NY are at least 2 or 3 hours from me. There isn't much commercial logging in the NYC metro area.

That would seem to me to be much too long of a bar for that size saw. It would be better to sharpen your cutting skills and use what you have already. btw, I have only a 16" bar on mine.

AGREED.
Master felling techniques and you'll never need bigger than a 20" bar.
Learn about "release" teqniques. Take a Game of logging course. Not only will you become a wizard with a saw but it could save your life too.

Many yard birds out there that a 20 inch would be a teaspoon! lol (Not usally enough solid wood to pull off a lot of plunge cutting)

Eye've dumped plenty of 50"+ yard birds with a 20".
My saws haven't seen a +20" bar in at least 16 years.
" Shave the bells and bore the notch "! If'n U no what eye mean!
