Not sure.What’s the ideal bar length for those saws? My 371 runs a 24” full comp 3/8 and my 461 runs a 25 full comp 3/8. I wondering if the 461 would pull a skip tooth 32” well
I found a 28" bar for my PM700.
I tried a skip tooth on it, because I was worried it wouldnt pull a full comp chain. Didnt like how grabby the skip was, and seemed like it didnt cut as fast.
Tried a full comp full chisel Stihl chain.
It has NO problem. Doesnt even care.
A 20" bar on a 700 or 7-10 is a good fit and well balanced, if not a tad rear-heavy. Never tried a 24".
