## Description

Stihl Chainsaw Chain- 26RS68- 18 Inch, 68 Drive Links, .325 Pitch, .063 Gauge

Review: EXCELENTE CALIDAD Y UN MODICO PRECIO COMPRENLA NO SE ARREPENTIRAN
Review: This chain does not fit on pro version or farm boss. The 026 was made in the early to mid 1990's and the 026 PRO came in a few years later when the decompression valve became popular. (A decompression valve ( valve) on a STIHL chainsaw is designed to make starting the engine easier by reducing the compression pressure in the cylinder. This is particularly useful for larger engines where the compression pressure can be high, requiring more effort to pull the starter cord. The STIHL decompression valve releases gas to reduce peak compression pressure, making the starting process less strenuous. The PRO version also has a slightly bigger engine but the case is virtually identical. Most of the time a PRO will cost you about $50 more. I have a pair and one backs up the other. Both run like bandits and are my favorite firewood saws. I paid less for both of them added together than one new MS261. The 18" Chainsaw Guide Bar 0.325" Pitch, 0.063" Gauge, 74 Drive Link, 'Farm Boss' Compatible with STIHL 024, 026 the earlier version of the 026 used Stihl Chainsaw Chain- 26RS68- 18 Inch, 68 Drive Links, .325 Pitch, .063 Gauge. Although it says 18 inch the earlier version bar is shorter the chain is also.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a stihl ms250 cbez 325 spur chainsaw (from the sticker on the saw).  Will this chain fit?  Do the number of drive lengths matter?**
A: You have to make absolutely sure the guage and pitch are right for the bar and chain pitch also matters for the drive gear or you can mess your saw and yourself up very bad

**Q: What's the difference between the Rapid Micro(RMC) and the Rapid Super (RS)?**
A: The RC is reduced kick-back, more a safety chain. The Super is more a professional, high performance chain for heavier work with higher power equipment. I prefer the improved cutting power of the RS.

**Q: Will this chain fit Stihl 025**
A: No I'm sorry but this will not fit the STIHL 025.  If your saw has a 16 inch guide bar, it should take a 55 drive link, 3/8 P, .050 gauge chain.  To be certain, look for these numbers on your guide bar near the slot.

**Q: Will it fit the Stihl MS291?**
A: Depends on length and size of bar!
