I have an Eager Beaver 2.0 (a nice little limbing saw) and the only saw my wife will touch (not such a bad thing) she thinks my 455 is too heavy and won’t even go near the 575XP. I want to change the chain the saw takes, presently it is set up with a 16 inch bar which Takes an Oregon S54 (3/8 low profile, .050 gauge, 54 DL) chain is there a way I switch to either a 55 dl (like stihl saws) or 56dl (like poulan saws) it is just hard to find 54DL chains and when I do find them they tend to be much more expensive then the 55 or 56 DL chains. I can get the stihl loops for $10 to $12; the 54 DL loop is $16 to $18 a loop.
Not sure if there is an easy way to switch, I guess I could make my own loops but that is a pain too.
Ideally I would get all my saws on one type of chain but I am not sure the eager beaver is up to running standard 3/8 pitch chain. Is it even possible to put standard 3/8 pitch VS 3/8 low profile on that saw (yes I know I would have to make some sort of changes)
