I'm looking at OREGON 91VXL062G as an upgrade for the basic 3/8 LP chains that I have on many of my saws. Anyone have experience with this chain, and versus lower end 3/8 LP or basic 325 chain?
Back story:
Limbing and bucking a dead but solid tree about 17" at it's base (14" where I fell it). Started with my Craftsman 2400 equivalent with 18' bar and low kickback chain.
Chain is decently sharp, has maybe 25 thou from cutter to raker height, but takes a long time in cutting the main trunk.
Moved to what I call "Big Blue" in my collection (Blue Max 45cc, 20", 325 chain, Chinese knock off of the Zenoah) with a decently sharp chain. WAY FASTER! Not just more power, but lots more wood cutting ability.
Since I have another 42cc saw on the way (P&C rebuild), I expect to be able to pull a faster cutting chain than it was supplied with.
Will I be making something close to the 325 performance, or will I be disappointed by the difference in performance between the two 3/8 LP chains?
