How big of a rim sprocket? Narrow kerf shenanigans

[mettee]

Those chains generate a narrower kerf, lesser wood to remove = faster cutting.

I have a .325" setup for my PS-9010, it's fun.

Which one, you have 5.

You're wrong!!!

Hell, don't tell me it's six.

One, the last I purchased, needs some parts but is functional (no internal parts that NEED to be replaced, I did order an OEM P&C kit though!).
She fired up first pull cold when I picked her up. I gave the man his asking price and took her home, no second thoughts no negotiations!

My new in use 2016. PS-9010 came with a hard nose bar but no chain.
I got a 3/8" & .325" Stihl RS for it.
3/8" is driven by a 8 pin, and the .325" by a 9 pin sprocket.
The .325" feels smoother and faster on that 25" B&C & saw setup.

I have recently modded my PS-9010's studs from 14mm to 9mm so that they can utilize D009 mount bars. I have a 36" and hope to salvage a worn and rusty 30".
Now my PS-9010's will be dedicated long bar saws, unless for play and fun.

This is my 2016. PS-9010 wearing my 3/8" 36" Iggesund Forest bar.
She is on her fourth tank of fuel, MM and retune is imminent.

Look at this guy rubbing it in.

.325 NK 23rs 20” 9 pin on ported 2156 is wicked on limbs…even buried in green camachile it’s like a hot knife thru butter, and smooth.
