[Woodsearcher]

Hi,

 

Which make/brand of chain is best for a 236/435 Husqvarna Chainsaw. ?

 

I don't know what came as standard fitting.

I bought a couple of semi chisel from Northern arb and they have been fine. They cut and sharpen alright no problem.

Cheers peatff, I've yet to learn sharpening I think I need to buy a vice.

The 236 runs a 3/8 050 hobby chain, the 435 runs a .325 050 chain, to be honest these are both entry level machines so i see no advantage going for over expensive chain on them.

Do you have 2 saws then and hoping to use the same chain? I would suggest Oregon, and maybe visit chainsawbars and watch all the videos about identifying chain and how to sharpen before deciding what type of guide/sharpener to get.
