My third Stihl 291 chainsaw has just died on me and I'm not gonna buy another. My brother has a Husqvarna 460 with a 24 inch bar that fires up quickly and it has a ton of power. The bar is longer then I like, so I'm looking at 20 inch bars for it.
On Amazon, there are two 20 inch Oregon bar and chain combo's that have come up.
One is called an AdvanceCut has a 3/8 pitch and .050" gauge with 72 links for $40 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073XNS4DZ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
The other is called a VersaCut, and it has a .325 pitch and 0.58" cut with 78 links for $64 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DQ49Q9N/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=AM0TJKCE8MD21&psc=1
I'm tempted to buy the more expensive one because it has a wider cut and more links. I'm assuming that more links means more cutting teeth? and a wider cut will cut faster?
and then there is the Husqvarna bar and chain combo for $98 that has the 3/8 pitch and .050 gauge with 72 links. This seems like the same thing that Oregon is selling for less then half that. Is there any reason to stick with Husqvarna parts over Oregon? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DQ49Q9N/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=AM0TJKCE8MD21&psc=1
I'm using the saw to cut rounds for firewood, but also taking off branches and the stump so I can get the tree to the burn pile, or firewood pile. Faster cutting is my main goal.
Thank you
