So I'll put forth the dumb chain question of the day and show my ignorance. Please be kind to me. This has only been my hobby a little over a year lol. So to my knowledge my echo cs-590 with the stock 20 inch bar required a 70 drive link chain. We'll when I bought the saw I bought 2 extra chains with it and have been rotating all 3 chains for the better part of the year, only to notice the other day that the drivers have 72 stamped on them. Which again, to my knowledge denotes the number of drive links on said chain. So what gives? Can you run a chain with a different number of drivers as long as it's close? Or was there some type of typo on the sticker on my saw and it should be 72? Any guidance in to understanding drive links would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
