Stihl square ground. Picky, takes some time learning to file and tweak, but so sweet once dialed in. I run these on my 461.
Stihl RS ( Rapid Super ) chain. I’ll admit I tried some china chain last year and I’m gonna get a beating for this but it did ALMOST as good as the stihl chain. It was a eBay whim but I don’t know if I could find that exact chain again so that doesn’t really count.
Im currently using Stihl and Carlton on my two most used saws. Prefer thw Stihl. Got a good deal on the two Carlton and had used them in the past.
Oregon & Stihl .... chisel Got a deal on some 20” Oregon LGX a while back, Got 2 I’m rotating thru the saw & 6 still in the box, I’ll get many more cord out of the 2 I’m using now. Not need to buy new chain for years
Current stihl chain is at least 15 cords old. I don't have anyone sharpen it for me so I can't claim I've never sharpened it though.
Lol, first guy don’t have a chance.... If “touch up filing” is NOT considered sharpening? I’m over 16 cord on one chain.
Careful making your computer tech-plumber mad isn’t a good idea... I’ll get a snapshot of the Oregon chain I have too it’s also good I don’t remember what it’s called though.
I've been running Woodland Pro (made by Carlton) from Bailey's Online. I find the value to be great for me. I got a 3 pack for Christmas last year from my daughters. I run 18" chisel .325 x .058 on my 50cc. One chain is still untouched in my saw box for emergencies...
I've been buying from my Stihl dealer. But, I just paid $27 for a chain for my little 170. I think I'll be looking at others after that. Sent from my LML212VL using Tapatalk
What is the cost $$ difference between Oregon 72LGX072 (20”) & a Stihl RS 20” I have several $10 , new 20” Oregon LGX LPX. (Online sale/free shipping few years back) ... Was using Stihl RS when the dealer was close by, good chain but now I see them $10 more ($27 for 20”) than LGX. (20” for $17) For some, worth the extra $$, for some, not. ... Either way: Keep your chain sharp
Currently running Oregon 20LPX on my 421 and 72LGX on my 6400. Am happy with the performance. I sharpen after every two tanks of gas or if I get into dirt first.
