I believe it's got an Oregon Doubleguard bar/chain, though I'm not too sure as the bar has the saw brand written on the side rather than the bar/chain (defo Oregon) model on the side.
By the way it's a Tanaka ECV-4501
Cos I've only recently bought the saw I probably won't have to replace the bar and chain for a while yet. Despite this I've heard negative stuff about the Doubleguard bar, and probably the chain alongside it.
Regarding this, then, what cost effective bar/chain combination would you guys reccomend for a 2.5hp saw which will get use of around 4/5 days a week.
I've been looking into the Oregon Pro-Lite bar and a chain to match, the current chain is a .325" pitch, 18" bar length and I think .058" gauge.
