I'm looking at chain and a bar for my Stihl 026. I'm planning on going with Stihl. Looking at the recommended options for the MS260, the book lists .325"/.063 and 3/8"-.050. I'm curious why the larger pitch chain has a smaller tang.

I started asking that same question many years ago. Never got a convincing answer. Gave up trying to understand it and accepted that "it just "is".

LOL!!!
Why are there 3 bases and a home plate instead of 4 bases in baseball?
LOL!!
Thank goodness, or Stihl would have continued to do all kinda goofy stuff to keep thier stuff exclusive and a PITA.
Stay safe!

.063 is 25% wider than .050. So would sprockets used with.063 chain last 25% longer than sprockets used with .050 chain
