The bar wrench in the kit is actually the 084 full wrap wrench - they resurrected it for the 361 3/4 wrap.
The MSRP out here is $124 for the entire kit.
A 9 pin .325 sprocket is actually almost the same diameter as an 8 pin 3/8" so they create about the same "gear ratio" in terms of chain speed. I usually run a 7 with a 20" bar, but it can pull an 8 if you use a light touch. With anything shorter, it's an 8 (3/8) or a 9 (.325). I have had excellent results with a 9 pin and a 16" bar with .325 chain.
Serial -
so is the general rule with a 16/18" bar to use a 8t rim?? What kind of wood are you cutting
up there on the east coast?? I had them put a 18" bar on when I bought my saw - but I
think they may have forgot 2 change out my rim - or didnot know it all ??
....
Troll - do you CUT MUCH real hard wood up there??
Does adding the double doggs make it more of a pain to change the bar and chain?
I dunno, comparing the stock rim to the Oregon one, the Oregon one was not finished as well, and it had the hairline crack in it. I will have to get some more rims down at the Stihl shop in Cottage Grove where I get my RM loops made. They seem to have an old cashe of rims and chain there.
No the RM is slower you got the good one. Thats the same chain I have.Is Rm chain faster cutting than RSC?
The chain that I am using now is marked 33RSC 3/8 pitch .050 gauge.
RM is slower, but it holds an edge longer. So good here is entirely dependant on the conditions that you cut in. I use RM most of the time becasue I tend to cut in cruddy conditions. Slash piles, thinning and limbing close to the ground, bucking up downed logs. Faster cutting chain is not always better. You need clean wood for running full chisel (RS) type chain.
