…or have I just not found the right recipe?
That Oregon duracut/multi cut is supposed to be triple plated…In general Stilh chain is a little better only because true stilh chain has a thicker coating of chrome on the teeth. I do not know for sure but had a customer come in with some chains, looked like Stilh marked like stilh only giveaway was the dimples on the drive links were not consitant like stilh's and the purchase price new was apx 1/2 the going rate for stilh- some type of knock off or mfg has been switched to somewhere else. jury still out on how they run will know in a couple weeks
For cutting this nasty hard dirty stuff, my experience thus far says the stihl would be worth it.i ran winsdor chain and bars for years ( no problems) until oregon bought them and discontinued same . then ran carlton ( they were ok also)-oregon bought them also and quality seems to have slipped. been running forester chain they strech too much ( 3/8-.050) so switching to 3/8 in .058 and .063 to see hows things work out. Stilh is too pricey for me plus I buy bulk rolls. Don't have a good source for husky and have not run theirs.
People that hand file can confirm this. It should translate to being more durable, but whatever wrecks one will wreck the other equally.Think Stihl temper there cutter teeth little harder than other competitors .
