Woodland Pro Loops

Anyone ever order chain from Bailey's? Seems to be a lot cheaper. Looking for a good value chain.

They have all sorts of cutters and configurations including full skip, which would not be good for what I do, but still interesting.

 

I have quite a few. I bought a bunch of 20" loops a few years ago, for $10.99. Still have several in the box. I think is Carlton chain. I find it comparable to Oregon, but a few steps behind Stihl.

That was certainly a good value. I have so many, I haven't looked at prices in years.

 

Unless you buy a lot of stuff their shipping kills you. You have to buy at least 6 or more chains before its cheaper than somewhere else once you figure the shipping per loop charge.

 

But yes I have used it and thought it fine.

 

I want something that I can sharpen and not worry about being a little wasteful in my sharpening. Stihl chain isn't cheap.

 

Madsens sells loops 2 for 1. It's oregon but it works out to around $.20 a dl. They'll make up loops in whatever dl count you need and you pay for 1 and get 2.

 

Last I bought chains was a guy off a aborist supply company out of florida on ebay. Really cheap prices and ships 5 chains for $6

 

Woodland Pro is made by Carlton. Bought my newest ripping chains from Bailey's.They are priced per link & sold as such instead of a set price like most regular chain loops.Great quality at a decent price.

 

what are you looking for specifically?

 

Bought 10 of the 20" Oregon 5 - LGX & 5 LPX when they had a sale
Buying 10 & with shipping, was about $16 per loop.
Got some other stuff too, "T" handle metric allens for chain saw & a box of files.

Watch for good sales & order a lifetime supply, you'll save some $$.

Like said, shipping isn't cheap with Baileys'
& in Alaska, it's even worse !

 

I'm looking for five 24 inch loops 3/8" in .050" width to fit a 25" bar. Not sure why the chain says 24 inch for a 25 inch bar. The package says 33RS 84.

I just can't keep spending $30 a loop plus tax if there are cheaper good options out there. Thanks to Pallet Pete, I'm set-up to sharpen chains so I may be running through chains faster, but it'll be way more efficient and enjoyable than throwing dust and smoking logs. I'll check out some of the links above. Thanks for your guidance everyone.

 

Ooh...skip tooth.

Geesh! Had a guy come by this morning trying to snag 2 of my pallets while I was on the phone ordering chain. That won't happen again. Those pallets will be covered with wood by tomorrow. I know pallets are valuable but really? They were right next to my wood pile. Obviously, I was intending to use them for stacking.

Anyway...I picked up 5 loops and 2 grinding wheels from Tree Stuff. Oregon 3/16" wheel and 1/8" wheel. The wheel I bought at TSC will be used to grind rakers and the Oregon wheels will be used by for my cutters. I'm too lazy to hand file the rakers and can sacrifice a wheel for that purpose.

Thanks to Pallet Pete and all you guys for helping me find a good site. This one is a keeper.

 

Jim Goodall equipment is who I am talking about. This is a link to the forester chain in 24/25" loops but he has carlton for about $1 more per loop. Poke around his site on ebay.I think his online store may even be cheaper??? But you take the $6 shipping charge and divide it by 5 chains its only about $1.25 a cchain and this chain is $13.30 so your still about $15 a loop to your door.

I'll save this for future reference. Just bought 5 chains so that makes a total of 8 for my 441, so I'm good for a while.

 

He has everything. I bought 5 chains. I got one 25" loop. Two different 14" loops an 18" loop and...I dont remember? They even threw a free scrunch in the package!!! I did not know was coming! Not sure if it was a mistake or a thank you?

 

Super cheap. I'm tempted to buy and compare the 3 different chains.
