In 1977 an old working chum named Jim Furgusson sold me an old relic Homelite for $35.
It run, and it had a 60 in bar with half inch round chain, a 2 speed transmission and no muffler.
I fell only one tree with it. A 7 foot Monterey Cypress. Local traffic was stopped during the grand...
I used a 36" bar most of my career.
Although slower cutting at the stump I feel it saved my back from having to bend over as much to do the limbing, slashing and bucking.
Particularly bucking. I liked the extra inches for safety.
A 24 or 32 just killed my back.
