What Stihl for a 28 inch bar?

Sorry, your right. Its 063.

I edited it out and corrected it in your post just to keep the thread with correct info.

I dunno- A Westie Aussie, sounding like not too much experience with chainsawin', imports a 461 from Europe, is thinking about bolting a 28 inch bar to it, not sure if he should choose .404 or 3/8 chain, not sure on pitch versus gauge and needs to climb with the saw to so a take down from the top because there is nowhere for the entire tree to fall.
All I want is video!

In Aus Stihl's come with .063 gauge for all .325, 3/8 and .404 chains.
For an Ms461 with 28" bar I'd go 3/8, .063 semi chisel.
That's what I run on my 7900 and Ms661 in Aussie hardwood.
.404 would be too much for a 76cc saw.

We'll see! I'll send pictures of the saw when it arrives as a minimum.
