I have a ms028 that i use to cut firewood with about 15 cords a year. Clear brush etc. It cuts great with the 16inch bar but when i get into larger pieces and trees it really slows down. I see i can put a 20" bar and chain on. Would this be worth the price?

Is the saw slowing down or is progress slowing down do to the bar not reaching through the big pieces?

It slows down because the pieces are larger than the bar.

Your gonna be disappointed in an 028 with the 20" bar. If it slows down when you have a 16" bar buried a 20" will kill it that much more.

Was wondering for felling trees would a full skip chisel be the best chain for the job? I have the ms280 set up for 3/8 right now with a standard chisel chain.
I have run a semi skip but never a full skip. I pretty much rulled out a 20" bar so was wondering if anyone had any experience with a full skip chain on a ms280.
