Whats best to run....

on a 346 bone stock? .325 or 3/8? 16" bar for limbing. Just getting peoples thoughts.

 

And pins too...

 

I really like the .325 on my 50cc and under. Runs really smooth. Keep it sharp and out of the dirt. Don't know about the rim. I don't bother swapping that stuff. I just swap saws.

3/8-7 for me.

 

I run 3/8 72dl full comp on my 550. I really only use the 550 to log cedar and to limb spruce and balsam on the header. I have blocked firewood with it also. It handles it just fine in my opinion. I think it’d like a full skip better. Which I will be switching to once I get around to spinning up a loop.

 

3/8 lopro picco sqr/rnd or better yet sqr/sqr ...ps63

 

Tom, 3/8 7 wins the race. 325 is a bit smoother.

 

As far as best, it's personal preference IMO. I like the 16 on mine too. 3/8 on everything is just easier.

 

.325 smooth cutting
3/8 faster but i like .325 on my 50s
