When a Stihl pole saw carries a 12-inch quarter-pitch bar, it calls for the 71PMM3 64 chain. That is what these three loops are: 64 drive links, 1/4" pitch and a .043" gauge, sharpened and oiled.

Where the stamp is

About this loop

The longer 12-inch bar lets a pole saw take bigger limbs in one pass, and 64 fine-pitch teeth keep that pass smooth instead of grabby. It is a practical setup for reduction cuts on residential trees and for clearing branches that hang over roofs and sheds from a safe distance. Before ordering, find 71PMM3 on your old chain box or read the stamp: 1/4", .043", 12 inches. Our part 4A4Q64X is German steel with quenched rivets and chrome-plated semi-chisel teeth, and each chain ships coated against rust.

  • Matches Stihl 71PMM3 64 for 12-inch pole saw bars: 1/4" pitch, .043" gauge and 64 drive links.
  • Fine-pitch teeth keep a longer pole bar feeding smoothly through thicker limbs without snatching at full reach.
  • Fits the 12-inch bar only; our 10 and 14-inch Stihl pole loops run 56 and 72 links respectively.
  • Three low-kickback semi-chisel loops that meet ANSI B175.1-2012, oiled and ready for the next pruning round.
