So Stihl website says I need the 26 RM3 68 for my 18" MS250. What is the difference between the RM3 and RMC3?

The 290 uses a large 3/8th inch chain, the powersharp uses small 3/8th, the stihl mount is different between the two. So no, unless you can get an oregon small 3/8ths bar with the large stihl mount. Dont think so...

Reviews say that the 3 blade is better, which is why I ordered it. Amz says they will replace the 2 blade they sent me & swap it out w/the 3 blade. I don't know much else, I suspect the more expensive 3 blade will be more powerful, I should know more soon.

Not sure. I have a Poulan 16" inch and it fits OK but a little loose; the case is actually a bit larger than my saw so it does NOT fit snug as I would like but my saw is 1989 vintage and at the time I bought it in 1989 in SC right after Hurrican Hugo hit in September of that year, my saw did NOT come with a case. I had been looking on and off over the years for 1 that would fit. The one I purchased from Amazon is for Poulan saws but did NOT specifically specify my model for it. Again NOT sure if your Stihl will acutally fit or not, Sorry :o(.

No, at least not as it comes. I have a Stihl MS290 and a Husqvarna 450. The grooves in the device are slightly too small to work with the Stihl Chain as it won't seat all the way down. That said, you could probably just file them open a little and you'd be good to go. I love this thing for my Husky chains and was thinking of buying one to modify it, but I just haven't done it yet.

This case will not fit many Stihl saws as they are too wide. It did not fit my MS 230 w/16" bar.

Wildwood Mower & Saw, Inc, Wildwood, FL sold me an Oregon 91PX052G chain. They said it would work fine. Just have it as a back-up, so can't truly vouch for it. Saw still starts easily and works strong. Didn't ask for a bar, so can't answer.

to all those who are saying it wouldnt fit your stihl when amazon said it would. Stihl saws come with two differnt pitch chains. A 3/8'' pitch and a .325'' pitch. Many of their saws had both of these chains available. Before you knock amazon or oregon for "misadvertizing" know your saw, look at it, and figure out which chain you have. That is why even if you go to oregons website it will list multiple chains that fit. NOTE!! this does not mean they both fit. You need to know what pitch your chain is and match that to oregons. that being said, according to Oregons website, this chain WILL NOT fit the 020t. That saw requires a S55 chain. The two are not even close so please dont try this chain on your saw. Differnt pitch, width, and link count. This link ot oregons website should be helpful. http://oregonproducts.com/homeowner/lookups/selguide.aspx?BusId=CONS&SellReg=USA&LangId=ENG

It worked on my 18" 028C which is an earlier model of the MS250 if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry, but I only have the 200. You can go online to the micro jig website and that info should be there.

There are 3 chains listed for your saw. 901212001 Chain (3/8 in.): UT10640 - 52 link, 14 in, 901212002 Chain (3/8 in.): 56 link, 16 in, 671258001 Chain (3/8 in.): 62 link, 18 in. The best way to check is to remove your chain and count the links. The links are the funny shaped part that go into the bar. The link count is what matters. Find a chain with the same link count and it should be a match. This listing is for the 52 link chain. Good luck

this is my first 24 inch saw as well, I went from an 18 to this. It has been a great saw. I probably ran it for a good 15 hours this year after buying it with out any problems. My friend has a 24 in stihl and preferred using the husky. It handled great!!!

According to the official web site the number after RM signifies the following: 3= single-humped drive link triple-humped tie strap on RM chain. I will use the link to see which chain is compatible with the Saw you have. I have to say that i am extremely impressed with the Stihl quality and performance and that at times when i had to use substitutes the quality is far inferior!!. Stay with Stihl you will be glad you did! http://www.stihlusa.com/WebContent/CMSFileLibrary/downloads/STIHL-Saw-Chain-Selection-Identification.pdf

Checking the Timberline website, I believe you need a 13/64. I'll bet your chain is similar to the chains on my Stihl saw. You can go to timberline.com and go to the sharpener. From there you can go to sizing.

Hi Roger, If you go to Oregon.com and put in your saw info they will match up the correct chain you need to buy! I actually checked for you with the info you gave about your saw ( assuming it's 20") and they said H78? You may want to go take a look yourself to be sure though.

I don't know since I don't use a file. Instead, I purchased on Amazon an Oregon motor driven sharpener for about $350. If you google for stihl you can get an 800 number for customer service. I did this to get the chain number for my saw. Be sure to have your model number.

Comes with .095 and works fairly well, I use .105 Oregon line and it last longer, cuts better, and get the 5lb spool to save money. Go ahead and find a good resource for T25 replacement heads... you'll ware them out... I use eBay and have good luck there and they are always at Husqvarna 966674401 T25 Tap Trimmer Advance Head, Curved and Straight Shafts Ready for you.
