I use Carlton. Have used tons of Oregon also. What's wrong with what you are using?

I would recommend either Oregon lgx or Stihl 33rsc. I use both on a daily basis and they both hold an edge fine. The Stihl will hold its edge a little longer because of a harder metal used in the tooth. You shouldn't be disappointed with either.

I know Oregon and Stihl chains have the name imprinted in the tie straps. Also if it is Oregon chain, there will be a number imprinted on the drive links (72 for .050, 73 for .058 or 75 for .063). If it is full comp round ground chisel it will be an lgx chain, if its full skip it will be a jgx chain. Sorry I'm not absolutely positive on the Stihl codes other than rsc which is full comp round ground chisel chain.

Hope this helps

Cost 1/3 more, but lasts twice as long...

Amen brother.I would say more than twice.I know lots of guys use oregon but i cant figure out why.Every loop of oregon I've ever tried seemed to contain more cheese than steel.I have good luck with the bars but the chain, not so much.

Exactly!
Rep to you man!

Try out the woodland pro chain that Baileys sells. It is reasonable and it lasts a good while. As I have said in the past I would rather use dull, rocked carlton chain on backwards before I would use oregon crap! Steve
