    I have a Husqvarna 450 rancher 20" .325 pitch and .050 width. that I love. The bar is very worn on it and I want to buy a new one. The options I see are Oregon, Husky Farm tough, or regular Husky.

    There seems to be a lot of choices for chains. I will be cutting almost exclusively white and red oak. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

    When I replaced the bar on my Husky 455 rancher I just stuck with the Husky bar. Original lasted for a long time ago the relaxed should do the same.
