hows you thread

Good plan. It has a .325 sprocket on it now

 

i told him get rid of those spikes he is doing the same thing mine was

 

i run a 18 on mine but i have a 16 inch bar also and i can grind 325 chain the only one i havent tried yet is the picco but i rarely run the picco on my 026 or 290 it doesnt load the saw enough in my opinion

 

You are not wrong. Those spikes look awesome. But they suck with an aggressive chain. I put your custom ones on my hybrid and it's the same way

 

Every thing I have is 3/8's I was planning on keeping everything the same, any issues you see? I have also though of the LP picco stuff. It is suppose to turn fast.

 

ported 026 will handle the regular 3/8 and the picco stuff sucks balls unless your just playing with it

 

Other than the measurements, does the .325 have an advantage to the 3/8?

 

more cutters on the 325 and narrow less drag

 

Nope. It'll pull 3/8 just fine. You'll need a 3/8 7 tooth stihl small spline rim sprocket from your dealer

 

Does it make a cut fast. Or is it really not worth worrying about the difference. I am not to complicate things.

 

I don't think you'll notice a difference cutting 8-12" dead pine. Grip and rip

 

It's a teeny bit slower but smoother in the cut. Much easier to just keep it all the same.

 

I want to stay with 3/8's.

 

Grip and rip, that's my normal, like it.

 

325 chain
Picco

 

My 290 with 325 chain 8 pin square grind

8 pin 325 is the same size as a 3/8x7

 

Thanks Jason, Kevin and Dallas. Sounds like 3/8's it is.

 

Awesome thanks Dallas. I will watch them when I get home, firewall at work, cant view videos.

 

i understand i had to post from phone computer would only allow me to go back about 15 videos

 

I am excited to watch them. I don't have cell service where I am currently at, Sat phone territory. Work firewall does not allow videos.
