Can't find the bar specs online.
What's the largest size I can run with the Stihl 09?

You mean 009?
I think around 12" is ok.
Bigger tends to run them hot. Here it was sold as consumer grade saw.

I have no specs to post for you, but trust me 14" b/c is perfect if used as an arb saw.
I used to carve with a 09 back in the early 80's and loved the solid non anti vibe handles which gave me very precise ergonomics with pencil tip detail, I used a 12" dime tip carver bar.
Still makes a decent little pruning saw even though no anti vibe

How saws are considered is not same every were, it is regional.
009 was not popular here in south Sweden at all by pro's. Some used 020's but not many.
In the area I live 020's are thought to be just the same and was never very popular ntil the 020 Super came with heated handles.
Then eyes were opened and 020 got a bit more sales.
The last version of the metal 020 was 020 BIG. After that it went plastic and got named 200.

If you only have the use of one hand they seem pretty good. I know a guy that had a stroke, and I've seen him cutting with one.

I hated that saw back in the early 90's. I liked my Poulan SA25!

The average Joe can one hand the 09, just don't go over 14"b/c.
I remember the little guy puts out good power.

I've got an 011 in the shed which is about the same .I think it's got a 14" on it . It might take the same bar mount as a 200T .If I get some time today I'll check it out .

Yep same size .I was surprised to find a 16" on the 011 .I never really paid much attention to it .It runs okay, I assumed it was a clam shell but it's removable cylinder .Might be okay for bucket work but as a climber maybe not so good .From just lifting the both it seemed about the same weight as the 200T.
