Yeah normally I’ll get one “retighten” with my normally 3/8 and 3/8lp chains. Seems like I got 3-4 with my 1/4 chain til it quit stretching. One thing I noticed was not being able to use the bar to “twist/lift” the wedge of wood from a notch to make it fall out when the cuts don’t perfectly line...

Took down three pine trees yesterday, about 75-80ft high and while exiting the final cut on setting my notch to blow the top out the chain kicked off the bar. Probably angled the saw just enough to drag on the exit and kick off. My little saw has a 12in panther bar. After the first day I...

My dcs2500 popped the chain the first day with its 1/4in set up. Set the chain tension like I would any other saw. My first assumption would have been to run it a little bit tighter so it wouldn’t have enough play to pop out of the bar rail. Gonna have to try it both ways now. Can’t wait to run...

With doing daily tree work how long does a 1/4in bar normally last?

I haven’t got to bore cut yet with my 1/4in bar yet. I’ve been curious as to how that would act. Normally all of my bore cuts are done when felling trees, not up in the canopy. When would a bore cut on such a small saw be beneficial? I found the archer and the stihl chains on Amazon. I recently...

Does stihl have a yellow label 1/4 pitch or is the safety version just that good? Currently I have three loops of the panther chain

Ran my new dcs-2500t the other day with the 1/4in conversion and OMG 🤤. Had to order the sprocket from the UK (not available in US yet) and got the panther bar and chains from monkey beaver. Got the 1/8 files and haven’t had to sharpen it yet. My only complaint about the 2500 had been that it...

Don’t have experience with 1/4 (yet) but on monkey beaver.com you can buy conversion kits and replacement chain loops in the panther brand. I think it’s mostly sold in Canada but they ship to all US with no issue. Was thinking about doing it on my echo 355t but I may leave it alone and just buy...
