Will this Bar work on my MS400??

[Splinter35]

Hello, I’m looking to get a new 20” bar for my 400 and want to make sure this will work. I have attached the pictures of the bar. I see that it’s not on the list that stihI put on the box but I wasn’t sure if that is because it’s a pro saw/bar issue. I appreciate all the help.

You wanting to run .325 on the 400?

3003 is right mount but not 325. I would figure you have 3/8 set up right?

I just didn’t want to pass up on the deal. I have several .325 chains. What do you mean when you ask about 3/8 set up?

That if you own a 400 I figured you would be running 3/8. All 3 parts. rim, chain. bar. All 3 have to be same.

That price is the norm on their laminated bars. Nothing special about them.

Basically if I buy that bar I could use it as long as I used a .325 chain.

and change out your rim sprocket to 325.

Long as your chain is 050 to match the bar.

I understand now. I appreciate it. I won’t get it. I’ll buy the 3/8 bar and chain.

I got the power head for 900 dollars thinking I could run my old .325 bar and chain on it. But now I understand.

Again I appreciate it.

They got new 400 with 20" at a stihl dealer here for 950 right now.

I think the ms400 is way too much power for .325 chain.
it will be slower than 3/8 pitch in cut

Not if your drive sprocket is 3/8 pitch. You would have to change that out.
