- Which saws does this bar fit?
- Stihl lists it for the 017, 018, 019T, 023, MS170, MS171, MS180, MS181, MS190T, MS191T, MS192T and the HT and HTE pole pruners. It is not a fit for larger Stihl saws.
- What chain does it take?
- A 3/8-inch pitch Picco Narrow chain in .043 gauge with 44 drive links, such as Stihl 3610 005 0044. A standard .050-gauge chain will not sit in the 1.1 mm groove.
- Is this bar a direct replacement for the original on my MS180?
- Yes, it is the same 12-inch Picco Narrow Rollomatic bar Stihl specifies for the MS180 and the other listed models, so it mounts with the existing bar nuts and sprocket.
- What is the difference between Picco Narrow and a standard bar?
- The Picco Narrow bar has a 1.1 mm groove and runs .043-gauge chain, which is lighter and takes less power than a standard .050-gauge setup. That suits small saws and pole pruners but is not meant for heavy cutting.
- Does the bar come with a chain?
- No. This is the bar only; the matching chain is sold separately as Stihl 3610 005 0044.
