Husky 338 XPT Gurus!

[Craftybigdog]

Hello, I have a Husky 338 XPT and I wanted to know where you guys are buying your chain for it because the stock one is the low kick back. Is there a better chain to use. Also lastly do you like buying your chain in rolls is it actually cheaper. Thank you for you input.

Oregon VX, VS or Stihl PM - if it is 3/8" lo-pro.

338xp chain

For our climbing saws, Huskys 334, 335 and 338xp we use Sthil Pm yellow.
That low kick chain that came with the saws is still the org. bag some where.

Thanks alot guys. Also where do you get your chain from? Is there a place online and do you find it profitable to buy rools of 100' ? Thanks alot for your time.

We just buy one or two at a time. Saws used up in the trees stay sharp for a long time, well most of the time!

Baileys has great deals on woodsman and oregon chain 14" 52 d/ls $8 each.
I don't think its worth it for the small saw with one lenth bar to buy the roll and make your loops. At work we run 4 different length bars on 3 brands of saws, for that application we make our own chain since we don't want to run out of any particular length loop. You might save $25 by buying the 100 ft box but thats over 15 to 20 chain loops from a box. Maybe a dollar a loop.
