Larger bucking spikes for Stihl390

[Andy1234]

Hi all,
Just finished giving the new 390 a workout, and have some questions.
The factory spikes work ok, but are there larger spikes off of a larger saw that will fit? I noticed that there appear to be mounting recesses in the sprocket cover, so does anything interchange?
Thanks in advance.

You can make the larger dogs from a 440/460/660 fit. It'll take come metal work to get the outer one line up with the inner one, but the factory dogs are pretty soft metal. I fitted a set on my 361 pretty easily. I've now modded some aftermarket dogs to fit, and man, they're tough!

My dealer. Bailey's has some available. Don't know if they're the same ones, but the 5 point are significantly larger than the 4 point. They're big, even on a 460 and a 660.

Shown here on each of those saws, with the factory set for comparison-

They're the same set, but the 660 is sitting behind the 460 so perspective skews their size a bit.
