Our take on the STIHL 12 Inch Chain 61 PS3 44 OEM

The STIHL 61PS3 is a 12-inch PICCO Super 3 replacement chain for small saws: 3/8-inch low-profile pitch, .043 gauge, 44 drive links. Its square-cornered full chisel cutters cut fast and clean in hard or frozen wood, and STIHL rates its cutting life up to 15% longer than PM3 chain. A single-humped drive link and low-kickback design make it a reasonable pick for limbing and light felling on a 12-inch bar. It is a genuine OEM part, so it fits the STIHL models that specify this pitch, gauge and link count; generic low-profile chains cost less but vary more in cutter quality and stretch.

About the STIHL 12 Inch Chain 61 PS3 44 OEM

The STIHL 61PS3 PICCO Super 3 is a genuine OEM chainsaw chain for 12 inch bars. It has full chisel cutters with square corners and sharp edges. These reduce friction for clean cuts in hard or frozen wood.

The chain has a low-profile, low-kickback design with single-humped drive links to reduce kickback. It cuts and bores with less feed force. Its cutting life is up to 15% longer than STIHL PM3 chains.

It fits chainsaws that call for a 12 inch bar and a chain with 3/8" low profile pitch, .043" gauge and 44 drive links.

Questions and answers

Which saws does this chain fit?
It fits saws running a 12-inch bar with 3/8-inch low-profile pitch, .043 gauge and 44 drive links. Check your bar and sprocket specs before buying, since a different link count or gauge will not fit.
Is full chisel better than semi-chisel?
Full chisel cuts faster and cleaner in clean hard or frozen wood. Semi-chisel holds an edge longer in dirty or sandy wood, so pick based on what you cut.
How does it compare with PM3 chain?
STIHL rates the 61PS3 at up to 15% longer cutting life than PM3, with less feed force and better boring. Both are low-kickback PICCO chains.
What is the single-humped drive link for?
It is a low-kickback feature that limits how aggressively the cutters bite at the bar nose. It does not change how the chain fits the bar.
What do I need to sharpen it?
A 5/32-inch round file and the matching depth-gauge tool for 3/8 LP chain. Keep the depth gauges at the specified height or the chain will grab and kick back.
