I also will be buying some bars and chains soon I usually end up with Oregon so you fellas think sthil or Carlton is about the longest lasting chain? Keeps it's edge longer?
Blount owns Oregon, Windsor, and Carlton. Windsor chain has been discontinued per Oregon. Read the description of the Stihl chain and the Oregon chain for the blue cutters. The are identical word for word, and Oregon owns the patent for the steel that the Oregon and Stihl chain is made from and well as the Patent on the blue cutter.
Stihl says they make there own chain. Oregon says for all practical purposed Stihl makes there own chain.
Ok i give what is Blue chain?
