Do you find LGX superior to EXL?I'm looking for the old Oregon lgx chain 100 ft rolls.
Nope. It has a little footnote that says to order the 72EXL100 instead.Found this. No idea if it is in stock though.

Interesting. Do you care to share your thoughts?I cut timber for a living I don't care at all for the EXL chain.
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 doesI cut timber for a living I don't care at all for the EXL chain.

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.Wow, I had no idea that sort of thing was going on!
Same, LGX is soft as butter, pass for me.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.
I have some of each. Have not had troubles with either. Can’t really comment about hardness since I grind mine.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.
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 .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.
