    It’s the only way I’ve used it. I know it can pull more, but 16 feels like the perfect balance to me. One saw per bar size. 400 will get an 18”

    Came with a 20" which i mostly use. Had tried the 16" from my 290 last year before i sold it and liked it a lot more. Got my 024 back from my friend who fixed it and took the bar from that last night. Did very well cutting dead BL today. 16" bar may stay!

    Chud when you getting a 400i? I’m really curious to how it compares in weight and maneuverability to the 261. As soon as I sell a few more loads I’m either getting a 400i or 261. Lean toward the 400i as long as it’s not to heavy to limb/trim

    Ok, but from what I hear from a dealer it may be next spring before I can get one. buZZsaw BRAD will probably get one next week.

    I got the saw check, but I bought the 371 instead. I had to use some of the $ for a med bill, so I couldn’t drop all 1400 on a saw.

    The best I can tell, someone threw a chain and got rid of it. It didn’t look like it had been in much wood.
