Is there a real chain for a Poulan?

[PA Plumber]

You've gotten some practical advise here. From a personal experience standpoint, I have an Echo CS 346, the VS chain cuts much nicer than the VG.

The new VS chain will have a lot of stretch in it so be sure to check tension frequently. It will take a while, but will eventually quit stretching.

I have a Poulan wildthing and I just bought 2 Stihl Picco Micro (PM) chains. They cut incredibly well, much better than the standard chain. I would recommend these if you can find a local shop that has them. Thanks, Greg

go down 4" on the bar and get some woodsman pro chain i turned my wildthing into a ginsu with attitude for limbing this way 12" and some woodsman pro should perk that little green machine right up.

I have the Oregon box from the last chain I bought. It says "S62" and "91 Low Profile" but not any of these 91VG and 91 VS type designations. Is what I have 91VS?

Oregon's new chain is available that replaces the 91V and it is the 91VX which has the blued cutters and Oregon is claiming a 20% increase in cutting. We have it in stock.

91vg

ray benson, The 91VG is a safety chain and it has a bumper on it, the 91VS looks like the 91VX in the picture posted.

Wahoowad asked about S62 chain. Which is vg. That 91vx will be my next purchase.

poulan chain options

Some of the Poulans, Wildthing as an example actually have a semi skip chain. Their way of justifying a longer bar on an underpowered saw. People become diappointed when they install a new full complement chain and the saw won't pull it as well. Many good options posted but if you run much bar length, definitely look into a skip or semi skip, even if you need to grind one from standard chain.

I agree with BUTCH put a 3/8 Carlton chain on it and feel the difference. that's all I run on my saws is Carlton 3/8 semi chisel chains

skip chain on plastic Poulans

I bought a PP260 display model 6 or 7 years ago, It had an Oregon made
91 VGP skip chain, found a 2 of pack 91VG & Wally-World cheap, used
one for a while, now running Carlton N1C-BL. I save the 91VG for
risky business that might involve nails or rocks.
I bought the Carlton chain from a local saw shop.
