Stihl Bar And Chain Chart
Stihl Bar And Chain Chart - I would hope a powerhead can wear out a few bars. I have also used tractor supply's oil and its even tackier and thicker than the stihl orange. Ms260 series saws use the larger mount. The chart on the stihl site shows the same chain for the elite bar as is used for the standard bar. I am buying an elite to use on an arbor saw, whichever one i end up with. The ms 26x series is the smallest stihl professional saw that can use 3/8 and the 3003 bar mount. I didn't think stihl made a.325 bar on.050 guage?
From what i read it sounds like the ms 290 is a.325 inch pitch by.063 gauge. The ms 250 series saws (025, 230, etc.) use a small mount stihl bar. I primarily use a 24 bar on my ms440 with regular stihl chisel chain when cutting oak, ash, and various bottom ground softwoods (cottonwood ect.) saw handles the 24 very well and seems to be the best all around setup for power and balance. Pretty much match the first four digits and have the correct chain and drive sprocket for the bar nose sprocket (assuming it has one) and drive link thickness.

Currently it's running a 20 inch bar and i wanted to go down to a 18 inch bar. Ms260 series saws use the larger mount. The 3005 bars have a smaller slot for the bar stud or studs. You can buy this saw with either the.058, or the.050 gauge chains. I have used ace branded oil from ace hardware and noticed it is very close in tackiness/viscosity as the stihl orange.
3/8 and you will find alot of timed cuts with each chain. The 3005 bars have a smaller slot for the bar stud or studs. Pretty much match the first four digits and have the correct chain and drive sprocket for the bar nose sprocket (assuming it has one) and drive link thickness. In the case of learning about them, the stihl chart shows the same standard bars for the in tree saws as it does for the ms 241 cm, but it doesn’t show the elite for the 241. So you can neither use that bar with a smaller stihl saw, nor get a 20 bar for a smaller saw from stihl.
What you see regarding pricing is most likely a stihl product thing. The ms 26x series is the smallest stihl professional saw that can use 3/8 and the 3003 bar mount. My new bar is stihl p/n 3003 812 6821 (20 farm boss bar.063 ga., 81 drive links,.325 pitch my chain is the stihl rapid super 26 rs 81 i ran the chain and bar on the saw today and ran great. Pretty much match the first four digits and have the correct chain and drive sprocket for the bar nose sprocket (assuming it has one) and drive link thickness.
Years Back, When We Switched From 16 Ms250 Saws (.325 Pitch, 0.063 Gauge Chains) To 16 Ms261 Saws With The Same Chain , I Had To Spin Up The Loops From 62 Drive Links To 67 Drive Links.
