The Stihl 23RM3 68 chain is a high-performance chainsaw chain designed for demanding applications in the forestry, construction, and agriculture industries. This chainsaw chain is part of the Stihl Rapid Micro 3 series, known for its low kickback tendency and semi-chisel type cutters that maintain sharpness longer than full-chisel chains.

The 23RM3 68 chain is ideal for felling, bucking, and limbing, making it a versatile tool for both professional and non-professional users working under similar conditions. It is engineered to work with larger displacement engines and features a taller-profile design with more mass, ensuring efficient cutting performance.

Key Features

  • Low Kickback: The RM3 chain retains all the performance of Stihl RM chain with the added benefit of low kickback to reduce the risk of kickback injury.
  • Semi-Chisel Cutters: These cutters typically don’t get dull as fast as full-chisel chains during normal use, making maintenance easier.
  • Taller-Profile Design: With more mass, this chain is suited for chainsaws with larger displacement engines.
  • High-Performance Cutting: Ideal for felling, bucking, and limbing, it meets the high demands of full-time professionals.
  • LubriTec: Keeps the chain and guide bar oiled for less friction and longer life.
  • Blued Cutters: Provides high-quality protection against corrosion.
  • Top-Plate Filing Indicators: Makes accurate sharpening easier.
