How many chains & chain types you got ?

Chvymn99 got me wondering with his chain care thread.
I went digging
Found :
20" 3/8 x.050 72 dl
1 Winsor full chisel, (no idea where I got it but will use it eventually) sharp in a rag & bag oiled.
5 each of 72 LPX 7 LGX ( 2 oiled & bagged in too box. 8 in original box)
1 Stihl RS almost used up from last years cutting (on the saw)
2 Stihl RM one on the back up (old Husqy 61), one needs cleaned & sharpened.
1 RM2 or 3, back up for dirty stuff, stumps etc when needed.
2 Husqvarna skip, chisel , 1 new 1 slightly used (no use for it, junk cutting maybe)
1 RS skip, no use for it about 1/4 used up.

I laughed at myself ;
I have 17 saw chains, for the 20 Husqy

Low profile:
1 chain on the craftsman Stihl 3/8 x .050 PM3
1 a junk spare for it, so bad no idea what it is, Oregon I think
2 total probably more logical bench stock inventory.

19 chain loops, total.
Using up 1 per year
Guess I won't be buying chain any time soon

Bet I'm not the worst chain hoarder here

 

This is probably less than half of what I have, I think there are around 215 loops in this picture ranging from 10" to 72".

 

I bet I dont have a dozen between the 20" several diff 18's and the 14 and 25 and 32". I try to keep full chisel only but have some semi chisel where there is no full or I have factory chains still in semi.

I'm not as as good knowin g what they all are. I have some woodland pro, forester, stihl, oregon, and maybe another?

 

WOW
Speechless

 

He also has like 496 chainsaws!!! And said he has had like 45 tractors in his life!!! I think I saw you on an episode of hoarders one time....seriously though I envy your stockpile!!!

 

I was amazed at how many I came up with.
I'm always looking for a good deal but now that I know the facts,
I need to use up what I got before I add to the stash.

 

Its one of those things that I buy plenty of......and it never seems like enough !!

 

I haven't taken inventory... but everything from 1/4 pitch to 1/2". Sold the 3/4" chain . Probably not quite what Gary has pictured, but not far off lol.

 

Pretty much the standard any more,
Good size for most 55 cc & up saws

 

20" 3/8 x.050 72LP 72dl
Prolly 20 loops kickin around.
Have set up all saws with this chain for many years. 1 chain = no mixups. No getting to the woods and having to go back for the right chain.

 

8 loops of .404 .063 for 25" bar
12 loops of .404 .063 for 17" bar
These are Stihl RSLF (Rapid Super L Square Ground Skip Tooth)

6 loops of 3/8" .050 Stihl RM for 14" bar & 8 loops for 12" bar.
7 loops of 3/8" .050 Oregon semi chisel for 18: bar & 14 loops for a 14" bar

5 loops of 1/4" chain for a 12" bar (Mini Mac 6)

Here is one that came on a "Van Ruder Hydraulic Tractor Chainsaw" I picked up to use to make a wood processor. The saw is for 2 person operation & can cut 32" between the handles. I will change it over to .404 .063 bar & chain if I do build one.
- Oregon chain 65 links long, 1-5/8" DL to DL, a little over 3/4" rivet to rivet Who can tell me what size & type this is?
It has Oregon PAT 2508784 stamped on it.

 

WOW! Some of your chain collections are incredible! I'm definitely feeling naked here for bar dressings. I've only got a few!

4 - 16" 3/8-Picco .05 PM - (191T)

1 - 16" .325 RM - (024)

3 - 18" 3/8 .05 RM - (026)

2 - 20" 3/8 .05 RM - (036/360/038)

2 - 20" 3/8 .05 RS - "

3 - 25" 3/8 .05 RM - (038, 440, 460)

3 - 25" 3/8 .05 RS - "

2 - 28" 3/8 .05 RM - (440, 460)

 

Havent counted exactly but guessing close to 40 counting what's on the saws,ones hanging on the wall & new in box ones.

 

Any body ever throw away used chains ?
Or chains they won't use ?
Any recycle places for them ?

I have 3 skip chains I bet I'll never use
But can't throw them away.

 

I won't throw them away. Sell on ebay or give away maybe. I have a mccullah chain now that I need to just sell on ebay.

 

Only get tossed in recycling bin if they're too worn down,missing a few teeth or otherwise trashed.Keep a couple old beaters around for any rough/dirty cutting.

 

I bought 5 used ones this summer
& had to throw one one away at the end of cutting season here, ran out of adjustment.
Was a used RS , cutters still good. Hated to see it go.
I think I'm still OK , got 20 good 20" loops
