“Looks nice, cuts good”
Panther 1/4 Pitch Conversion Kits
These new Panther Bars are made by Tsumura. Initial testing has proven to be very reliable compared to the original bars.
Convert your Echo 2500T, 2511, 271T, or 355T
12″ – 14″ – 16” – 18”
Each conversion kit comes with one (x1) bar, two (x2) chains, and a 1/4 drive conversion sprocket.
This bar and chain setup is narrower and lighter than the original 3/8 setup. Having a narrower and lighter chain removes less wood per cut, freeing up some power allowing it to cut faster.
Adding a Panther 1/4 pitch bar and chain to your saw will reduce drag on the engine due to the decreased cutting kerf. This will decrease the power needed to cut through that gnarly branch…. In turn, giving you more free power to wield at your fingertips.
If you’re just looking for the Bars or Chains separately, you can find them HERE in the Chainsaw section.

– Disclaimer –
“These Panther kits are smaller and less “robust” than your standard 3/8″ bars and chains. You must not apply any unnecessary force or leverage against the bar or chain. Doing so will damage the product”
August Hunicke has found when cutting larger diameter wood, the bar can start to bind. Not recommended for chunking down spars. Please don’t misunderstand, this is a sweet set up but it’s not the right choice for prolonged large diameter cutting. If you need a long lasting durable all-around bar and chain combo, don’t expect it to be this one. Use this for limbing and then switch out to a bigger saw for spar work.
