Where the stamp is

About this loop

Longer pole bars let you drop bigger limbs without a ladder, but they also put more teeth in the wood at once. Fine 1/4" pitch spreads that load across many small cutters, so the chain pulls steadily instead of stalling. If you are clearing a tree line, reducing overgrown maples or taking deadwood out of a canopy, three loops mean you can keep cutting while a dull one waits for the file. Our part 4A4Q72X uses German steel, hardened rivets and chrome-plated semi-chisel cutters, and it arrives coated against rust.

  • Stihl calls this size 71PMM3 72: quarter-inch pitch and .043" gauge, 72 links around a 14-inch pole bar.
  • Many small cutters share the load on a long bar, so the chain pulls steadily through thick limbs.
  • A good pick for clearing tree lines and taking deadwood out of a canopy while staying off the ladder.
  • Low kickback under ANSI B175.1-2012 matters more on a long pole bar, where the nose sits far from your hands.
