Want to Buy Oregon 72EXL chain

[Bill G]

I had a local timber faller come buy today looking for a medium amount of chain. He is found of the Oregon 72EXL and that is what he is looking for. I do not have that specific chain. I would like to help him out. It can be in 84 DL loops or 100ft reels. I am not looking for a whole bunch probably 300 feet or so

Thanks for the link but at $1125 for 300ft that is a bit steep.

Edit: Math fail. Corrected.
100' roll is 1632DL. 84DL means 19 chains. Premade 19*$20/ea = $380.

Sadly the lowest price I have found is $320 per roll.

Thats a decent deal, especially if they'll spin loops for free and it includes freight.

Chain has gotten crazy expensive over the last two years.

 

[Bill G]

Well, buying individual premade loops at $20/ea is about $1000 for 100ft worth, so maybe it isnt so bad...

No sir it is not and and I wonder how you came up with that number. A fine gentleman posted a link to a 100 foot reel at $375. That reel has 1640 drivers and since I my friend needs 84 drive links that is 19 chains per reel. If he buys 19 loops at $20 that us exactly $380 per 100ft.. I have no idea where to come up with $1000

It might be but still out of the realm what I am trying to help the gentleman with.

I bought a lot of chain from these guys over the last decade.

I used to buy regularly from Loggerchain as well. Then one day it seemed like all prices went up by 50% on their site. :-(

I did check their price before replying above.

I bought a huge amount of chain from Left Coast Supply but of course it was there huse brand and not the EXL that the gentleman is wanting. It is irrelevant though since it appears they are no longer in business.
