Default Upsizing chainsaw bar and chain

on 7/25/2007 11:29 AM yddraig said the following:
Are there any problems when replacing a chainsaw bar say from 16
inches to 20 inches? I have a PoulanPro 3800 series and would like to
add a larger bar (occasionally) to cut larger logs. Poulan says that
the saw was not designed for a 20 inch bar (of course they do), am I
doing anything inherently risky by upsizing?


Thanks



Longer bar, longer cut, more HP needed. Will the HP of your Poulan
handle the extra work?
