The Best Chains??

[BikeMedic2709]

OK. Is there a brand of chain you prefer?

 

[suematteva]

Bike,

we talking saw chain? Either Oregon or Carlton..do not think I have had a carlton in the last couple...

 

[BikeMedic2709]

Yes. Chainsaw chain.
I've always had Oregon, but have looked at Carolton and others. Just curious as to wether anyone has one they swear by. I know Bailys carries several brands.

 

[Roospike]

Stihl . I like the extra hardness of Stihl chain. I'm a full chisel , hard chain kinda guy .

 

[ourhouse]

Oregon or Sthil are the best hands down. And I have run them all. But thats my opinion.

 

[BikeMedic2709]

Looks like I will stick with the Oregon chain or the Husqvarna. (I know they make it for Husky anyway.) It is really what is the cheapest when I need it. I've been curious about the chains that Baileys is marketing as the best chain. It is alot cheaper. Has anyone had any experience with this saw chain?

 

[ourhouse]

If it's the woodsman pro brand you'r talking about, It works pretty good. It's close to Oregon.JMO.

 

[BikeMedic2709]

Yeah! Thats it. Woodsman Pro. It seems to be less expensive than Oregon, per loop. But I have always worried about the quaility. I think I might try it.

 

[ourhouse]

We tried a couple hundred feet of it at work. It worked good. You'll be alright with it.

I replaced the original Oregon chain from my Husky 136 with an Stihl. Stihl cuts a lot faster and the saw struggles less. Important for a saw that small.

I use a Stihl full Chisel.

(Can't forget the MaxiPad in the sawcase!)

I just get what is available at Walmart, use my chians until they are dull, then just buy a new one, my wild thing runs just fine that way for me.

 

[Roospike]

He said "wild thing" The king of saws ! 42cc The prince ! 40cc

I love my wild thing, that is the best saw ever made I have no idea why you would ever need a saw bigger than this beast of a saw
