My condolences to your other wee saws.
I'm thinking it may be time to thin the sub 50cc herd.
My condolences to your other wee saws.
See what a real STIHL dealer will do (and what they have in stock)?They did not have PS3 in stock so they swapped the PM to PS
I feel the opposite. It simply means you are making the saw move less wood and so can do the same work with a smaller, lighter saw. Less waste.To me it really is simple, I don't want any saws where 3/8" lo-pro/picco is the prime choice if chain - that basically means that the saw is too small/weak for my use. I don't want to be bothered with filing those tiny cutters either.
I suppose you are not interested in the battery chainsaws.To me it really is simple, I don't want any saws where 3/8" lo-pro/picco is the prime choice if chain - that basically means that the saw is too small/weak for my use. I don't want to be bothered with filing those tiny cutters either.
A far as I know, it was.....
I can see how 1/4 inch chain is rare as the 3/8lp is lighter and "stretches less" Wasn't 3/8lp derived from 1/4 inch parts or designs.
Same thing at Northern.Holy moly the chain prices are high at Lowes!
I understood the "Normal for Norway" correct me if I'm wrong was small diameter wood & short bars? 16" /18" if this is so a good o pro chain would be as fast in the cut & the less weight would be an advantage But as said before "Each to his own" I guess it depends on the quantity of wood cutTo me it really is simple, I don't want any saws where 3/8" lo-pro/picco is the prime choice if chain - that basically means that the saw is too small/weak for my use.

Yeah getting into the chain making hobby might be a bad idea for me.Same thing at Northern.
Menards has the best retail prices on Oregon chain among Midwest home center type stores. They carry a variety of chains, but not much in .063, or STIHL specific loop sizes.
(I think that you need to ask Santa for a spinner breaker set - get a good one).

Right. The fleet supply up by the cabin usually has all common DL counts in Oregon as well as the Stihl specific loops in Stihl brand. They have pretty much everything but not much 3/8-.063 or .404 which isn't a problem for me.To buy chains to fit Stihl specific chain length, you usually have to go to a Stihl dealer because they are the only saws that use that dl count. I usually get Stihl chain at a dealer that can spin loops so dl count is not a problem.
If you buy a cheap plastic homeowner saw with a Stihl name on it you sure don't want to ruin all that "quality" by putting a box store chain on it!I've been at Lowes, Fleet Farm, and Walmart in the last few days. It's interesting they don't stock the Stihl specific loops (44, 50, 55 DL), only the 56,52,45 etc used on the cheaper saws.
