404 chain

[wayne 4098]

Advice please.Is a sd 123 big enough to run a 404 chain?Just put a new21 inch bar and chain on and the saw judders when cutting.The 3/8 chain and 25 inch solid nose bar cuts smooth in comparison.The chain is a stihl rs.Thanks

Its around 70cc isn't it ? I would say no . Would not run my 372 Husky on .404 . definitely not on a 21" bar . I go to .404 on 36" and 95cc upward .

same here totally agree with you this saw will handle a 30'' 3/8 bar and chain no problem but defiantely not 404 not needed

So where do you stand regarding a Stihl 07(s) or 08(s)?

The 123 was more torque than speed, it will pull .404, just don't expect it to win a race against anything!

It was the juddering when cutting that did my head in.any way old bars back on with 3/8 chain.Its doing my head trying to get a bar for the saw as well as parts.Oregon sell a 24 inch guide bar in germany 248rndd033 .You think they would be available in this country.Any way thanks every one for your time.

Just going on what the op was saying . " juddering when cutting " Based on that I assumed it did not have enough torque to pull .404 through smoothly . Not talking about racing , just cutting . I have been wrong before .........
