[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3182748, member: 15054"] Hands down the winner is Stihl chains. I have a Poulan chainsaw that runs excellent , starts easy oils the chain well Idles fine and is ready to go every time. I think I got it 3 years ago could be 4. I have gone through a lot of Chains and finally had to replace a clutch cover with sprocket attached. I decided to spend a little more money and got a Stihl chain even though I have another New in the box Oregon chain. I am glad I did. This thing cuts 2x better than the Oregon chains i have been using. So far most of my cutting is Cedar trees and old dead dry Hard Oak. That hard dry Oak is killer on chains or it was on my Oregon chains. Seems after a tank of fuel I would be adjusting the Oregon chains because the slack they got in them. They did not cut as fast as this Stihl does. I have cut 1 14 foot trailer full of Oak and my pickup bed is full and I cut down about 30 cedar trees last night and limbed many of them. Cut 1/2 of a mullberry down and a few small hackberries growing in the chain link fence at another place and filled the bed of my truck with that and this is after I cut it all into 1 foot long or shorter pieces. I have not had to tighten the chain for all that cutting. 5 tanks of fuel so far. It is still super sharp and snug. I thought it was the bar oil I was using that made the Oregon chains wear out so I tried all kinds of that and they all worked the same. Stuck another load of dry old stuff in the bed last night chain is still snug. [ATTACH=full]128548[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
