Which 63?

[Farmchuck]

Hello fellas I have a Stihl ms200t & I would like to get a few loops of chain for my 12” bar. I’ve heard you guys speak of a 63 Stihl chain but I think I’ve read they’re are different 63s? Looking for recommendations of which ones work best for you guys & where I might source some. My local Stihl dealer is pretty much a green Stihl only chain seller.
Thanks Chuck.

I like the full chisel PS63 yellow chain. Here is a link to ebay for the chain you're looking for. You might find it cheaper locally?

The green version is PS3 and cuts just as fast. The bumpers don’t even effect anything in the cut. Some prefer the green version on a climb saw because it is a little safer.

The bar on my saw says:
12”
44dl
.043

Just don't want to go bore cutting with the green but it's just as fast from what I understand.

I go for the PS yellow for a couple reasons. First is I fell it cuts faster and if I have to bore cut I have no worries. The second is I can square grind it on the first sharpening and then it surely is faster.

Then your limited in what chain you can run as it's not the PS/PM .050.

You should grind some for me!
Also I have some 350 parts here for you if you still need them let me know.

Want to send them or have me get them from my dealer? Let me know.

Since @Wolverine grabbed me a minty 346 from CL out his way I have decided to not mess with the 350 and gave it to a buddy.

Is there a chain similar in this type chain, gauge?

I'd swap to the 3/8" Picco .050 bar and get the PS chains for it. In the .043 guage I believe your limited to the green chain.

I'm building a 2150 (red 350), I'm leaving the original 44mm p&c on it. I was thinking of setting it up with 3/8 lp. I have 2 red NE 346's and one more to build thats gonna get a oe 346 top end.
