Our take on the STIHL 12 Inch Chain 61 PMM3 44

This is Stihl's OEM 61 PMMS Picco Narrow chain for 12-inch bars: 3/8-inch pitch, .043-inch gauge, 44 drive links. It is the low-profile, narrow-kerf chain Stihl specifies for its lightweight saws and pole pruners, so it cuts fast in small wood with less load on a small engine. Buyers choose it over aftermarket loops because the factory grind and hard chrome cut true and stretch less when new. It only fits Picco Narrow .043 bars, so check pitch, gauge and drive-link count on your bar before buying.

About the STIHL 12 Inch Chain 61 PMM3 44

This is a genuine Stihl OEM Picco Narrow chainsaw chain, model 61 PMMS, in a 12 inch length. It is made for lightweight Stihl saws and pole pruners. The low-profile, narrow-kerf design cuts efficiently with reduced power demand.

The chain has 3/8" pitch, .043" (1.1 mm) gauge and 44 drive links. It works only on Picco Narrow systems and must be used with a matching Picco Narrow bar. It is not the same as a standard Picco chain. It is intended for pruning, limbing and light cutting.

Stihl specifies guide bar 3005-000-3905 for this chain. Model alone does not guarantee fitment, so the bar length, pitch, gauge and drive link count must all match.

Questions and answers

Will this chain fit my Stihl saw?
It fits only 12-inch Picco Narrow setups with 3/8-inch pitch, .043-inch gauge and 44 drive links. Check those four numbers on your guide bar or old chain before ordering.
Is this a genuine Stihl part?
Yes. It is the OEM 61 PMMS Picco Narrow chain, Stihl part number 3610-005-0044.
What is the difference between this and a standard 3/8 chain?
This is a low-profile, narrow-kerf chain at .043 gauge. Standard 3/8 chains are wider and heavier and will not fit Picco Narrow bars.
Does it come with a bar?
No. This is the chain loop only; the guide bar and installation hardware are sold separately.
How do I sharpen it?
Use a 3/8 Picco file and the matching depth-gauge tool, and keep the factory cutter angle. Filing regularly keeps the narrow chain cutting straight.
How long should the chain last?
Life depends on wood condition and sharpening habits. In clean wood with regular filing, owners report good service life; gritty or frozen wood wears it faster.
