Ms 880

[gink595]

There is 2 choices with the 880, 404 and 3/8 could the 3/8 bar be the same?

The 3/8 will be the large mount bar pattern.

that sucks big time! wainting for the owner to call back guess I need to get a 32in. bar on it so I can start milling but I didnt see that as an option on the web site any thoughts on that?

 

[gink595]

What sizes are offered from Stihl with the 3/8 large mount? I think mine came with a 30" .404. Whats the next size up?

3/8 is what I want and 21, 30, 41,47, didnt see a 32iner thats the size I need for my mill

With an 880, I wouldn't use less than a 36" x 0.063" bar. You can get longer rails for your Alaskan mill.

Not only will you not be able to swap bars between the 880 and the 460, but you won't be able to share chains either. The 880 bar will be 0.063", and the drive link count will probably be different, even for the same length bar.

For example, a 36" bar for the 460 takes 114 links, while a 36" bar for the 880 takes 123 links.

Good luck, and have fun.

lol yep its all just now hitting me and thought about a 660 NOT just glad I was able to catch it 36 in. mill is on the way and with the big poplars I have to mill sould all work out now! I have the mini mill for edging will strap the 460 to that.

My Stihl saw chain chart says the 36" bar on the 880 has 104 drive links. The 41" has 123. Fewer drive links when you jump up to 404...
