Oregon chain is cr@p

[fredmc]

How about $7.99 for loops 84dl oregon paddle chisel chain. I got a local guy with 3 spools

I run a Stihl 361 and Husky 357xp. Both are as they came from factory 3/8 .058 full comp chisel. The Oregon chain that came on the 357 just sucks compared to the Stihl chain. It goes dull really fast. It sharpens really easy though...soft as butter. I'm switching to Stihl chain when I use up this loop (which won't be long).

if the chain came on the saw how do you know its oregon and not some other off brand ?

That's wierd......My Husky dealer here sells Oregon and wants $34 for an 84 driver chain and the stihl dealer sells me the same chain (stihl) for $23....It's a real no brainer for me.

you get far better prices here in usa than canada anyday except for medications

I noticed the Oregon 1/4" pitch 25AP is safety chain.

I was going to order some Woodland Pro 1/4" pitch because of that, thinking that I would get a full or semi chisel without the safety bumpers.

This doesn't sound so...if it is Oregon chain...

I've been happy with the Woodland Pro 20NK (.325) running on a 16" bar, but there seems concern that it would also be produced in the Oregon plant at some point, possibly the quality going down also...

Maybe I should look into Sthil 1/4" pitch chain and see if it is better than the Oregon 25AP.

Cheers,

Howdy,
We're having them make our carving chain without the bumper link. So if you order our 10SC, it won't have the bumper. The 25AP is the same as it ever was.

Did a picture of a crazy music video pop into anybody else's head, or was it just me????

fair enough. It has "Husq" stamped in the tie straps and came out out of a box that was delivered from th eHusqvarna western Canada wharehouse in Edmonton, AB Canada. I thought Oregon made all Husqvarna branded bars and chain sold in North America. Is that not correct?

Here is the skinny between the Oregon factory/Carlton factory.

As of today, almost all Oregon branded chain made in North America is produced in their Oregon plants in Portland and Guelph. The only exception is the new 91VXL in which the cutter is made in the Carlton plant in Portland. All Carlton chain is still produced in the Carlton plant in Portland, except for the 1/4" pitch chain, which is made in the Oregon plant. Some of the Windsor chain is a true hybrid, with some parts coming from the Oregon plant in Portland and much of the assembly taking place in the Carlton plant.

As of February 2008, all of our WoodlandPro branded chain is made in the Carlton plant, except the 1/4" pitch.

As far as I know, all Stihl chain is made in their Swiss plant, except some of their .404 chain, which comes from Brazil.

Stand by for a run on the Woodland Pro.
Myself, my brother, Brother inlaw, Cousins, and a neighbor all have gotta lay in several years supply before Oregon takes Carlton down the crapper.

Thanks for what ya do!

Stay safe!
