Can I put an 18 inch bar on a 20 inch chainsaw?

Longer chain saws will cut through larger trees without your having to remove the chain saw from the trunk and cut inward from both sides to fell the tree. Changing the bar and chain on your 18-inch chain saw to a 20-inch size will enable easier cutting of larger trees and branches.

Can I put a shorter bar on my chainsaw?

Obviously, you don’t want to put a big bar on a small saw. But since most saws have longer bars than they really need, it’s hard to go wrong with a shorter one. You’ll get more power and it’s easier to keep the chain out of the dirt and out of contact with various obstacles if your bar is shorter.
