About this loop

Pole pruners from two different brands, one chain: that is the handy thing about the 12-inch low-profile size. Stihl calls it 61PMM3 44 (36100050044), other catalogs list 90PX44CQ, and some boxes simply say R44. Whatever the label, read the bar stamp for 3/8" LP and .043", then count 44 links. We give it semi-chisel cutters because pole work drags bark and grit into the cut all day. Rivets are quenched, cutters are chrome-plated and rotary-ground, and each loop ships in protective oil. KAKEI part 1B4Q44X.

  • Fits the Stihl HT101 pole saw and Echo PPF-210, PPF-225, PPF-280 and PPT-260 pole pruners with 12-inch bars.
  • Cross-references Stihl 61PMM3 44 and 36100050044, plus the 90PX44CQ and R44 codes printed on older chain boxes.
  • Narrow .043" drive links for thin pole bars; the .050" 12-inch loop with 44 links is a different chain.
  • Three semi-chisel loops meeting ANSI B175.1-2012 low-kickback rules, ready for a full season of overhead pruning.
