The only things I don’t like is the stupid metal chain catcher, the coil wire behind the flywheel just makes it harder to get at and I’m not a fan of needing a clutch tool. Other than that they are awesome saws.

Can the stihl roller catch be adapted to these older spikes? Seems like all you would need are two holes.

I did notice noodling wet poplar (a softer wood) the dumb metal chain catcher has a tendency to clog the chips. Hardwoods it has no problems. I think a roller catch would resolve the issue and may try bolting a stihl one on the 6421 spikes since they already have the holes drilled...

Keep it classy kid and use a husky catcher. And yes I removed the factory catcher after this photo

And I have a Euro spike and would like if it would hang lower so i could install a roller catcher.

That chain catcher works on only 1 spike?

The roller catcher on the euro spike sets higher so itd probably plug quicker.

Ok. Thanks Dub

That was at least my thinking on it. I haven't tried setting it up yet.

Probably but it ain’t easy to drill the hardened metal. If I end up hating these spikes I’ll pm you about a trade.

The stihl roller is better for the 7900 as it inserts into the outer spike that is already pre drilled. But I guess I could try.

What would you go with Mason? The US spikes?

For the 6100? Yes. 7900 I like the 3 point.

RI Chevy · Oct 21, 2018

Looks like those US spikes could be easily made by someone who has access to a CNC CUTTER.
I guess any of those could be copied with some good flat stock metal.

I see you are missing a Dolly 6100 Wilhelm. You NEED one for your collection.
