Hydraulic stick saws

[BostonBull]

We just got a couple in and I was wondering what size and pitch bar and chain everyone is running on these and where to get new sprockets for the powerhead. It looks like there is some 1/4" chain on it now but I would like to switch to 3/8" PICCO mini.

Thanks for the help!

The hard part of that is finding the right sprocket and bar , Call up fairmont , stanley or ADI

What kind of saw is it?

I might have the parts to change over. The 1/4 was a better cut IMO that the .325 or 3/8 that is now used.

I used both saws back to back and the 1/4 does leave a nicer cut than the 3/8. The only problem I am now having is that the chain tensioner keeps coming loose on me.

Problem is I do not think they make the 1/4 in chain any longer, or do they?

Stihl makes a 1/4" chain. I have been using it. It leaves a much nicer finish on the wound than the 3/8" LP. You guys should try it out.
