Chain catcher on 880

Recommended Posts

I bought a stihl ms880 last summer and used it to cut some firewood before using it on the alaskan mill. I wanted to mount it on the mill yesterday and wanted to demount the felling teeth (don't know the word in english) when I noticed that the chain catcher is a roller type, mounted on those, is it possible to mount a normal chain catcher?

Only lose you an inch or so (2.5cm for our European friends!) from your available milling bar length wouldn't it? Is it really that critical? I found the same when mine went on the Alaskan but it didn't really make any difference - Could always get a longer bar?
