Questions people ask

What size chain does a Cub Cadet PS26 take?

The Cub Cadet PS26 with a 10" bar takes 3/8" LP pitch, .043" gauge chain with 40 drive links (Oregon R40).

Can I use a chain with the same length but different pitch?

No. Pitch and gauge have to match the bar and sprocket, and the drive link count has to match the bar. A chain that is off on any of the three will not fit or run safely.
