I am going to have to buck up a couple cords of white oak and need a replacement chain for my Poulan 4218 (same specs as wild thing). Somebody sent a link to Oregon's website and it was very helpful. It only lists 62 drive links as an option. The guy at the local Husky/Jonsered dealer says to bring the chain in, He'll make me one. I just want to get a couple aggressive chains for the oak as the safety chains cut through maple like butter. Anyone have a wild thing that can remember how many drive links are on their replacement chain. Also, can I get a chain with lets say 64 drive links and and it will be slightly longer? Sorry, very little experience in this department. Thanks
ps. I have been thinking of upgrading to a Shilh ms290 or husky455 rancher ($400 dollar saw). I like them both and the stihl is a little cheaper but I like the husky dealer a lot more. The stihl is more of a box store and the husky dealer is a small town shop. I trust him more plus he is always there. I guess Jonsered has a program for the next couple of months to buy back your old Poulan for $90. I only spent $100 on the saw. I think it came to around $400 with the tradein for the 2255 ?( but I could be way off, I need to check again), model which is the equivalent of the the 455 rancher. Something to think about....
