    I have 3-.325, .050, 20" picco for the 450 Rancher and 3- 3/8, .058, 20" for the 562xp. So.... aaaaa...... ummmmmm.... 6 in total:emb:

    How does a guy keep track of so many chains?
    I would venture to say some of you are suffering from ChAD. (Chain addiction disorder)

    I got two 36 x 404 square chisel, six 24x .50 oregon full comp a 24x .50 carlton semi skip and a 24x .50 stihl chain which is gona go on my 372 when the oregon chain on it wears out. Also got three 20x .325 carton chains for my 550xp. And last in line two 28x .63.full skip oregon chains. Certainly not as much chains as some of the other hoarders have.

    It seems like we need another forum for some of you; "chain hoarders club"!

    I have 3 in .325 for an 18" bar (one is unopened), but I need to cut that down to 1 as I don't plan on putting an 18" back on my 550xp unless I have to.

    I only have 1 in .325 for the 13" bar that's always on my 550, but I'd like to pick up a second or third loop.

    Same for my Dolkita, I have 1 .375 for a 20", but could use a second. And I have 1 in .375 for my 28" bar, but I think that's enough as I rarely use the longer bar.

    I've always got a vice and files in my cutting kit. It'd slow me down quite a bit, but I wouldn't be done.
