The chains that I bought today are Husqvarna.. The other year I bought from there was Oregon and Laser.. Got for $11.50 a chain.. They do carry Oregon all the time..I think they are like a buck more a chain..

Post by: tbone on February 25, 2012, 04:58:49 PM: That's some good prices...I run husky chains as well, the best price I can find around here is $16 a chain for 20s. I like husky chains, prefer them to the oregons....stihls are over priced IMO.

Are they the same grade? All the loggers around here use husqvarna chains, they've always said they were better than oregons

I am not really sure. I know Oregon makes several different models and supposedly the LGX that just came out a few years ago are much better than the LG.

I usually just use Woodland Pro from Baileys which are just repackaged Carlton chain. Their prices have gone up quite a bit so I might give the Oregon or Husqvarna a try. (or maybe both)
