Do you like this chain better than the stihl chain?

I need some new chains for my Stihl polesaw. It’s a ht131 chain size is 3/8 p .043 with 44 drive lengths (12 inch bar). I want to get the most aggressive chain I can find and appreciate any recommendations. All I can find at the local Stihl store is Stihl picco super 3 (PS3). Thank you.

No longer need one

thanks again. I order a bar file this morning to get rid of the edges

Thanks for the help I really appreciate all of the responses. i had forgotten about putting pressure on the tip while tightening the chain. I never did it with my 365 and did not run into issues. Thanks again to everyone. saved me buying a new bar.

yes. I put the new chain on and get the chain snug. I then tighten the bar nuts and crank the saw and run the chain for 2-3 seconds. I then loosen the bar nuts and tighten the chain to where I can pull it off the bottom of the bar just a tad but it will still spin freely. I then tighten...

I have probably been running a loose chain for the entire time I have owned this saw. I did not realize the 2 types is tensioners made that much of a difference. Thanks for all your help.

I put a brand new sprocket on the saw last week before I used it. here is another picture of the back of the bar. It looks like one side of the groove has been worn by a loose chain.

I have to check the tension on this saw more than my other but it never needs a bunch of adjustment. Just a 1/4 turn or so

Thanks guys. I have had this saw and bar for 3 years. It started throwing chains after I cut down a big oak on my farm that had wire and other pieces of metal that had grown into the tree at different points in time. I flip the bar every tine I change the chain. The sprocket on the front is...

I am looking for a new 24 inch cannon bar for my husky 372. 84 dL 3/8 .50 thanks

Thanks. I will get a new one. I never had it in concrete but have caught some barbed wire fence While using it on my farm.

I have this 24 inch sugihara bar on my 372. I have thrown several chains lately so I replaced the sprocket and bought some new chains. I used it today and threw another one. Is this bar my problem? chain is Oregon 3/8 .50 84 drive lengths I have a 365 that never throws chains. both saws have...

I have to keep the wife happy especially when hunting season is almost here.

Bought her a ego. Pretty cool. 530 com at 8lbs. Variable speed so you can conserve the battery. $200 at Lowe’s.

My dewalt stuff is all the older 18 volt. I wanted to get her something nice that would last.

My wife wants a battery powered blower and I need some advice on which one to get. the Stihl 57 looks nice but there are a lot of complaints about short run time. many thoughts are appreciated

My 372 came with the plastic one

I ran into this last year when replacing the pump on my 365. I am 99% sure they are the same part now. The old one did not have the 3 settings. The new oem pump had the 3 settings and an extra screw hole. I cut the extra screw hole( looked like an ear) off and it works fine. My 3 year old 372...

I think he got side tracked and forgot I asked about hedge trimmers
