changed my mind about stihl chain

local dealer who is a great guy and has a great crew changed my mind about Stihl chain. need a a 375 63 chain for a 32" bar for my old 044 well no full skip in site they have semi skip square ground chain buy to boat load. thought about just ordering my regular Oregon chain. but being a cheap skate i just listen to what they said about the benifits of buying Stihl saw chain. i bit the bait and bought a loop. had a tree limbing job 4 inch wood mostly. that stuff just flat :jawdrop: :chainsawguy: :kilt:

I have found after using some oregon, carlton, and woodsman pro that none of them hold up like Stihl. The Stihl doens't stretch near as much and holds the edge longer.

I'm glad you had a good experience but the real proof will be after a few dozen jobs. I bet you will be just as happy.

Never used Stihl chain. Would it be sacrilegious to run it on a Husky?

I love Stihl chain. I can get Carlton a lot cheaper. I use Carlton more than anything. Funny how that works.

That would make the chain the best part of the saw, go ahead!!!

Putting Stihl chain on a Husky will cause the bar to go limp.

Better than the HP Ultra in the tank? What if I ran a Stihl bar with the Bailys adapter?

I personally wont use anything but Stihl chain. Ive went cheap and tried Oregon chains in the past and IMO they just dont hold up like Stihl chains do.

Then all you would have to do is get a good power head and you would be all set to cut wood. LOL :greenchainsaw:

The Ultra is great stuff also. A Stihl bar on a husky? Seen it before but always laughed. Stihl does make a dam good bar though.

Maybe husky should try making their own bar?

In College, I split wood to get me through. I ran a lot of Carlton and liked it, good chain at a good price.

Now if I can find a deal on STIHL I'll take it. Lasts/holds an edge longer. I'll STIHL take Carlton over Oregon.


P.S. My files lasts longer on some than others....why....???????

Files are cheaper........
