Will a Stihl 362 take a 25" bar and chain?

Will it? There is a 25" bar on eBay and it says it will go on a 360. But will my 362 be able to drive it? Cost £53. A lot cheaper than the new Sugihara bars. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Stihl-25-63cm-Chainsaw-Guide-Bar-MS661-661-3003-000-5231-Tracked-Post-/291111138007?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item43c79372d7 Also,…

Also, if I changed spool for a smaller chain would that do? Less pressure on the engine etc.

The engine is 59cc and is able to drive my 20" 3/8 chain no problem.

Thanks Guys.

In conifers, maybe. Ported, yes. But for every day use, you would have to be patient and keep the chain sharp.
