Our take on the 61PMM3 55, 16" Replacement saw chain .043 gauge 55 drive link

This is a 16-inch replacement saw chain in Oregon's AdvanceCut 90PX line, built with .043 gauge narrow-kerf chain and 55 drive links. It uses low-vibration chamfer chisel cutters with twin cutting corners for fast cuts and good edge holding, and a bumper drive link gives it a low kickback rating. The narrow .043 gauge pairs with a micro-lite bar to cut weight by about 15%, which suits occasional users, arborists and orchardists. It is a direct replacement for Stihl 61PMM3 55 chain on MS 170, 171, 180 and 181 saws.
