You further validated my point..its not pro vs homeowner
Yellow has no anti-kickback stuff added green does. you can get semi chisel in both green RSC3= home owner or RSC= pro.

Both can be used commercially....i have a good friend that works for a small logging outfit out in montana..they run alot of semi chisel..it holds its edge alot longer in many conditions..i think its a misconception that " yellow chain " is pro and " green chain " is for homeowners..thats simply not the case..i personally like semi chisel for firewood cutting..it definately keeps its edge longer !

Do you know the difference between the yellow and green chains? It has nothing to do with the cutter shape, semi versus full chisel. The green chains have a humped tie strap reducing the chance of kickback, hence being pushed towards homeowners. The yellow chains do not have the kickback reducing tie straps, hence being pushed towards pros with exceptional cutting needs.
Actually, semi chisel also comes in green and yellow versions. The colors only separate some type of anti kickback feature (green) from a chain without any extra bumps or sails to aid in reducing a kickback (yellow).
Stihl has RSC and RMC, they're both "yellow" non-safety chain. They also have RSC3 and RMC3 which are "green" safety chain.
Ill make this easier..do all green chains have a humped tie strap to reduce kickback ?
No, there are different kinds of kickback reducing features, that are in different places.
And thats all i was saying ST..ive talked to people that are under the assumption just because its a green labeled chain its strictly for a homeowner..my buddy that cuts alot of dead hard wood out west loves semi.. wasnt tryin to start an arguement

You may not be trying to start an argument, however you are definitely adding to the confusion. Saying that your buddy loves semi can mean many things, none which have to do with green verses yellow. Does he love semi trucks, semi skip, semi chisel, PM, PM3, RM, RM3, RMH, or RMF stihl saw chain? Did you know that there are green and yellow stihl bars as well?
If you can start it! BTW, have you started it? I mean, like going out to the garage every couple of hours and starting it, flooding it, #####in' about this new POS that won't start? Is that in the new 261 manual, amybe some sort of new break-in ritual????? There was a thread about another new 261 and all the "issues" it was having, so I was just wonderin'.opcorn:

Can you explain what other features a Stihl green labeled chain has to reduce kickback tendency?
