.404 chain swap

[Squareground3691]

But if it came on saws from Stihl on Husky right off shelf it would still be common

Just a matter of choice or needs ,

Nowadays living in an era with too many choices and there are times those choices make us forget the reality
I believe that factories are getting more nad more their clientele into PERCEPTION so they live somewhat in fear to try anything different

In my pictures you can see my Masterminded 151T with a 14" 1/4 cause Stihl in my country doesn't import a 16 or more bar for their own reasons

1/4 is a chain more into agriculture for clean cut the fruit trees and we as arborists we tried to implement into treework. However the 3/8 1.3 is the ultimate chain to go top to bottom on a tree or at least 2/3 of it while in the air.

And decades back Stihl had again the .325 1.6 as their small narrow chain which i have a bar i never used
Now Oregon advertised.325 1.1 nano which for me is a big NO, let alone the set in my country comes with double racker chain (safety) which I believe is the outmost stupidity. Product for professional should NOT have "safety" homeowner features

So most of time i go as big as possible cause i love speed and power but during work i need durability and duration

Guys don't be afraid to try

It's not alot it's like nothing, even use it with 36inch 3/8
Stopped using 7t years ago at any saw

Today I tried 36” 404 with in 8 pin in ash and European oak. Saw was a TM 064.

I can definitely say a 7 pin works better in this size wood. Or I have to file the rakers less

European Oak should be the dark one like i have

No keep rackers high and also if you hand file, keep your tooth UP, not much hook- i can't explain good in writing but in Oak you need your chain as razor to slice through not KNOCKING the Wood with hook and low rackers.

Most importantly: you said TM064?????
Well tomorrow is my birthday and it should be a nice gift

Always need more bar oil even at 084
No real problem though so far, wood pending of course
