Old Stihl were fat tips but since about 2015 Stihl has transitioned to the slender 11 tooth tips.
It’s difficult to even find the larger replacement tips anymore.
I <3 Big Tip Stihls: they are the best for Bore Cutting.

Just run an 8 pin
I’ve noticed the same. Its more apparent on other manufacturers as noted. I did see where most of the Echo 590/600/620 come with a 20” 70dl bars but there are some that came out of the box with OEM Echo bars that were 20” 72dl. There was a transition at some point although I don’t know which came first.

My dealer can still get the 13 tooth tip. I just ordered one this summer. I’ll try and find a part number ......
20" bar 3/8" 72DL should be standard in the industry. All this special stuff for each manufacturer is bull crap. Set a standard and have everyone use it.
and a 24" d176 is 81dl20" bar 3/8" 72DL should be standard in the industry. All this special stuff for each manufacturer is bull crap. Set a standard and have everyone use it.
Which one was 1st for 20”?

My 60" Cannon lists 185 dl's, adjuster hole is a bit big & archer chain was longish and after stretching had to bring is down to 184 which may have been possible at the beginning. Archer hasn't stretched more after original, yet.Gotta have something to do with the hole drilled for the chain adjuster. Must be slightly different.
