Ok, here we go again (Stihl 011AVT)

[jeffpack1957]

I've decided I want to have a spare chain for my main 3 saws (Jonsered 2041, Stihl MS310, and Stihl 011AVT)

On the 011, theres this "Picco" marking on the bar, and near as I can tell, a picco chain is a different beast for cutting versus a full chisel?
So I see Picco chains (Micro) (55link) and full/semi chisel chains. Am I to assume the smaller saw requires a picco/Micro chain?

Its a 16in bar on the Stihl if that matters.


Is there a Rapid Micro, instead of the Picco Micro?

I'm way confused now

3/8 lo-pro or 1/4" pitch? .043 or .050? 3005 bar?
Pics?

3005 008 4813 bar 3/8 Picco (that seems to be different from a regular 3/8?) .050 chain

Stihl states the "recommended" chain 63PMC3-55 which I havent a clue if thats what's actually on it.

Plain o'le 3/8 lo-pro like Oregon 91 will work as long as it is .050g
008 or 000?
Here's a standard 16: 3005 bar, 55dl
Old model?

You want a 63PM semi- or 63PS full- picco/ lo pro chains Those chains with the 3 suffix have the stupid safety bumpers most experienced users avoid.

3/8 picco/lo pro IS NOT the same as regular 3/8", drivers are different and require different drive/bar sprockets to match the chain.

Note the "C" suffix on Stihl chains are supposedly lower vibration "comfort" chains.

as far as I can tell, this will work?

So I found these 2 chains in my dad's stash

But the rakers are way different. I'm gonna guess one of those is that 3 designation and the other isn't

63 PS3 and 63 PS3 picco chisel without and with the safety bumpers. Both should fit your bar

Stamped 6 on cutter = picco

Stamped 3 on driver = 0.050 gauge
