Best chain for an 044?

[TKO-KID]

I am just wondeirng what chain you all like best on an 044. I am mostly using this just for the felling cut and for cutting the trunk into manageable peices.

The chain that came with it is just like the one on my cs440 so it works great at first but once you start getting into the middle of the tree it has problems, mostly when cutting the stump down close to the ground level.

any help is greatly appreciated.

And on a more serious note, Stihl RS is about all I use

I like Stihl RS or RSC chain. I also use Carlton chain, and am happy with it. Files easy and hold a decent edge.
