Questions people ask
What size chain does a Stihl MSA161T take?
The Stihl MSA161T with a 12" bar takes 1/4" pitch, .043" gauge chain with 65 drive links.
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.
