    Seeing as how 3/8 lopro is becoming the new thing I want to jump on the bandwagon and run it on my new to me 084. I like the look of the saw with this bar but may go longer.

    Had some short bars on my 084's. But full 3/8.

    Video of one when I was selling it with 60DL chain. Sold with the 9T in video but was faster with the 11T.

    084 and a 16" bar?

    Awesome!!

    I don't think that the 084 is 3003 mount?

    Some people run LP on standard rims and bars and have for a long time.



    I have some 60 DL loops if you want one. Just say the word

    3002 mount, yep its heavy, just fire it up set on top and wait for the tooth picks to stop flyin. 122 cc's of meaness - not for the faint of heart.

    That 404 is really aggressive. Maybe once it dulls a little bit it wont be so grabby.
