What type of chain comes on a new 372XP? **updated with photos**
The chain that came with my new Husqvarna 372XP cuts remarkably well. I wanted some extra loops for this saw (3/8 .058 72), but the dealer where I bought the saw said he wasn't sure exactly what type of chain Husqvarna sends with their new saws. He stocks Stihl RSC in my size so I bought 5 of those based on my good experiences in the past when using that particular chain with my MS290. However, the chain that came on my new 372 cuts noticeably faster than the RSC chain. It also seemed easier to touch up with a hand file. I tried three of the new RSC chains, all of them seemed to cut slower than the OEM Husqvarna chain.
Does anyone know what type of chain comes with a new 372XP? I'm certainly not a professional logger and I'm just learning about the different types of chain. Also, I’m not trying to start a Stihl vs. Husq thread; I own and like products from both firms. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
