What is the average yearly diameter growth on those trees, Willard. I'd expect really dense timber from growing conditions like that.

Magnus, on this side of the water, every pro user I know run full chisel on their .325 chain. Back in the happy pulp days, a lot of people felt that semichisel worked smoother for limbing, but I was not one of them. I only use semi for x-mas trees, because you are cutting so close to the dirt...

I get my chains from Bailey's. Less than ½ price compared to buying them here. Bailey's don't sell Stihl chains. When the Stihl comfort chain came out, my dealer gave me one to try out. That reallydidn't bore well IMO.

Having run Oregon chain for 30+ years, I get a little tired of those remarks.

Willard, that whole "which brand is best" discussion is a fine way to pass time while eating your lunch in the woods. I've run most of the European brands during my time. Mostly my choice of brand has been determined by what kind of dealer was to be found locally. When I worked in...

Brian if you read that post of mine that Willard was replying to, I made sure to specify that The Oregon chain, I use is US made. It works fine IMO. And even though I'm just a dumb commie, I do cut a lot of trees. I'd venture a guess that I'm probably the Houser with the most noches on his...

Must be something wrong with me ( other than the pinko veggie commie stuff:D) I like Oregon chain just fine and the stuff I use is manufactured in the US. I quit running Stihl chain about 20 years ago when they put a little safety thingie in front of the raker on their 3/8 chain. The damned...
