Stihl 021 needs a bar and chain

[segs14]

Picked up a used 021 from craigslist it runs great and is in good condition but it did not have a bar and chain. How would a 16" bar run with some rsc chain. Or should i stick with some green chain.

It needs the 63 pm 55 chain, the 33rsc is the same pitch, but for a much larger saw.

Yes, the 33RSC is way too much for that saw!

I use a 16" bar on mine. Needs to be Picco. I think 16" is perfect. 12 and 14 I would think are too short. I just cut a bunch, 50 or more, 8-10-12 inch trees down in my back yard. Green chain, but sharp, with a touch up during the middle, probably didn't even need it, but it cut the trees down with no effort. Now for the hard part. Limbing and bucking... But I expect that to go well. I have plenty of sharp chains and files and plan to keep the bar out of the dirt.
