Questions people ask

What size chain does a Stihl MS 462 R take?

The Stihl MS 462 R chain depends on the bar. 28" bar: 3/8", .050", 91 drive links; 28" bar: 3/8", .063", 91 drive links; 32" bar: 3/8", .050", 105 drive links; 36" bar: 3/8", .050", 114 drive links.

How many drive links is a Stihl MS 462 R chain?

It depends on the bar: 91 on a 28" bar, 91 on a 28" bar, 105 on a 32" bar, 114 on a 36" bar. The bar length is usually printed near the mount.

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.
