Ahhh. I see. Thank you sir.

I noticed it still has safety bumper links. Why?

'Reduced kickback bumpers'.

Nice!

Most stihl users need them.
Just got me a new 50dl 3/8 picco last night, full chisel with bumpers, they'll get ground off .

63PS doesn’t have the safety bumpers
63PS3 does.

So...the 3 at the end makes it reduced kick back chain?

That's what my STIHL dealer calls the 1/4 inch pitch chain!

Had to take what I could and I already have semi chains so... They have limited selection on the picco chains, but they do have a 462 and a 661 on the shelf .

I wonder if that dealer would have been able to sell me a rim sprocket [emoji848]

What did they do to the 362 cm this time?
Make it lighter? More power? Both?

Update to the newer slanted fin cylinder version of the MS 362 C-M (also with the new calibration function), I think. These changes were made in 2017, but the introduction could have been in Canada in 2018 (depending on how much old stock they had)

They said smart technologies .
Wow it's probably over a grand with a 20" setup .
Wonder what it is in freedom dollars.
I noticed the ms251 was 50 or so off when I was in the dealer Monday . They are a great firewooding saw, and with a sharp chain they keep right up with a new 261 if the chain isn't sharpened well.

You gonna be out protesting today Willard.

No need for a new saw at the moment chip.
Yes that Canadian $ price is pretty amazing isn't it.

I get that, I was struggling with that deal on the ms251 .
Sure is, I know I can get a with a 20" ES light for that msrp.

I am looking forward to trying this new chain as well as the new husky chain. It seems the manufactures are putting out some great chain the last couple yrs, the competition has really upped the game, and we are the beneficiaries. What bothers me is that the grinds I've seen on the new chains are not easily repeatable. I think most of us found we could touch a new chain up and see gains right away, I think it may be the other way around now, the new breed of chains are fast right out of the box and smooth as well.
