It's only ONE chain! skip lunch one day (or brown bad it).. and buy one.

Call stihl with your dealer and have them ship you a loop.

Yep, a great cook - I'd take that bread everyday!

as for bad/bag - They won't let me edit my typos anymore, so you'll all have to put up with my failing eyesite and fat fingers.:help: :help:

+1 I tried a loop of 23RS on my 488, it was by far the best I have used!

Rapid Super is the gold standard...

I think so to,,,, but will run Carlton with out blinking

To me, it seems that the more often you touch it up, the better it keeps?

Example, it seems that if i run a file a couple - 3 times, each couple tanks full of fuel that can get a longer chain life then cutting till the saw slows down then sharpening 8 - 10 strokes.

Looks like if I want RS skip I would need to buy another
bar.......No such thing as Stihl .375 pitch .063 ga. RS skip, round ground chain. All my bars are .063.

Is it that, in this area 95% (guessing) of the trees are hard wood
Stihl dealers have only .063 ga. in .375 pitch.....Only reason that
I can think of for this, Hardwood pulls harder, so beef up drivers
and that should make drive & nose sprockets hold up better.
Or is their other reasons for .063 ga drivers?

Skip chain will go great on your 32" bar, especially in green trees, it clears the chips a lot easier. Talk to Bailey's and tell them what you want, and they can probably fix you up with a good loop of Woodsmen Pro or if you are lucky some old hard steel Carlton chain.

that's cheap in my book for stihl chain. I'm used to seeing 28.60 for a 20" 3/8

RS isnt but RSC has replaced it in 3/8"
