stihl chains

[david miller]

this might be a stupid ? but we got some new 14" 3/8 picco these have a 52 drive count and not 50 like the old ones there like 1/2" bigger than the stihl E bar but I cant find the chain on stihls chart do these chain use a different bar

Funny that...I just got sent a 200t and I run 14", they sent a chain (no bar) and it was 52 drive links...I guessed it was for a 16" bar?
It certainly won't fit with the 14", tensioner won't push the bar out far enough.

The 14" small mount (3005) Picco bars are barely 13" in reality, and need a 50dl chain. Some other brands sell 14" bars that take 52dl I believe, but not with the Stihl mount.

Stihl chain

I have a 015 that I converted to 3/8-50 that takes 50 DLs.
Stihl have a different preset & side plate than Oregon.
I had to go to my Stealership to have my 52DL chain shortened.
Maybe I could have used my Oregon/Cannon preset or reused the Stilhs.
I played it safe. don't want a chain coming apart while running.
