I bought three of the new Oregon 95TXL chains from Loggerchain (don't know if I can say that but that is what I did). I tried one of them yesterday in some two month old nasty dirty pine that we were removing from a senior citizen's property. The tree company she contracted just left them! I don't do timed cuts or anything but this chain is definitely smoother and seems to stay sharp longer than the the WoodlandPro NK chain I got from Bailey's. I think it is better than the older Made in Canada NK chain they used to carry and I really liked that chain. It holds up better than the newer WoodlandPro NK chain Made in China and this was really dirty wood! However, the Oregon chain is slightly more expensive than the WoodlandPro but it is Made in Canada, at least for now! I also have one of the "hybrid" Oregon chains from Lowes that appears to be very similar but I haven't compared cutting with the new versus the "hybrid." On my Echo CS-500P with an 18" bar and chain it is almost as fast as my Stihl MS362 with semi-chisel chain and a 20" bar in 16" wood. I know I am not comparing apples to apples, but for smaller wood, I prefer the 50cc saw as it is significantly lighter and cuts almost as fast with this newly designed chain. Since I am retired, don't do this for a living, and I am anything but an expert I only know what seems to work and I really do appreciate all the helpful insights I get off this site. Now if I could just get my 500P and 362 to stop vapor locking in these 95+ temps we have been having all would be good! I use 93 octane non-ethanol with Red Armor mix at 50:1. Not trying to hijack the thread but any thoughts would be appreciated. (I cut and split wood for our church's firewood mission and another guy and I do about 40 - 50 cords a year.)
