    Thanks everyone, it's very balanced with the 28" lite bar. Eye balling a few 36" bars just haven't chosen one yet.

    Haven't even fired it up, hoping to do the muffler mod then run it.

    Kinda looks like this one.
    20151111_160528.jpg

    I just picked it up yesterday as well. I only put a 20" on it, as I don't have a 20". I'll be scouting which tree to cut after work today, but I got a good idea that the 20" will come off and my 28" Sugi will go on it. I wanted the 20" so I can limb with it, to get it broken in so I can send it off for port work. I only started it a few times, to make sure my hour meter I installed on it was working. I almost don't want to get it dirty, it's so purty!! :D

    Congrats on the new saw! My advice though, wait until the "break-in" period is over before deciding on the MM. Somewhere around tank 6-7, it will find a whole new gear. I think the m-tronics detunes the saw for break in.

    I'm really liking my Tsumura 36".

    Where did you get your Tsumura bar? I'm thinking about a 36" as well.

    I got it from AS member "thechainsawguy", through his ebay store. It was a great price too, due to strong US dollar. I think he shipped it from CAN west coast, so delivery took a little over a week - had to clear customs etc.

    Did you have to do anything to the bar to get it to oil right? I have a Sugi bar I had to modify so that it would oil the chain properly. I wasn't the happiest having to do that with a $100+ bar, brand new!

    I did find his ebay store page, thanks!

    Never had to do anything to the Tsumura to get them to oil.

    No mods needed to the bar, though I pushed in the pin on the oiler in the saw to get a little more.
