[Beachtree]

I'm looking for the old Oregon lgx chain 100 ft rolls.

Gauge and pitch would help and posting this in the classifieds wanted area would be helpful.

Do you find LGX superior to EXL?

I’m just curious and like “Chain Talk”

I cut timber for a living I don't care at all for the EXL chain.

Found this. No idea if it is in stock though.

Nope. It has a little footnote that says to order the 72EXL100 instead.

Interesting. Do you care to share your thoughts?

 

[Beachtree]

It's the 72 lgx specifically , my thoughts the EXL teeth vary in hardness , it does not cut as smooth or as fast as the lgx . Oregon I'm assuming is trying to compete with the Stihl chain , Which is very good. This is just my opinion, I have been a professional logger since 1982

Did you call Madsen's?

I usually find deals on Ebay for rolls of lgx or husqvarna H47/H48.

 

[karrl]

I don’t know if 84 dL is what you need but this deal on eBay is the best I’ve seen for H48. I offered him 75 and it was accepted so for that price you could make em longer or shorter and still be ahead of the game.

I absolutely hate exl chain. the chain is supposedly designed to carry oil better but ive had to take chain off bar to clean bar out as early as a tank of full. It allows wood chips and gunks up bar groove and clogs oil hole about 5 times faster than rs chain or lgx chain. you have to constantly make sure its oiling properly. Ive had 2 sprocket tips seize up before realizing what this garbage chain does

Wow, I had no idea that sort of thing was going on!

 

[Duane(Pa)]

Do you think it’s the design of the drive tang? That would seem to be the only explanation for the conditions you described.

I've been firewooding with it, and just recently milling. I've had zero issues. I like it better than LGX, it's a little harder and hold its edge longer, especially milling.

Same, LGX is soft as butter, pass for me.

I have some of each. Have not had troubles with either. Can’t really comment about hardness since I grind mine.

I've never had this problem with exl chain and I've used tons of it . I keep all my oilers maxed and I'm one of those guys that greases the bar tip after every use . The only bar tips I blew out were Husqvarna Tech-light bars about 10 years ago . Those bars were discontinued a long time ago .
