What price do YOU pay for....

eBay mostly as I tend to be using a saw and either blunt it or notice it's getting towards the end of its life and it's easy just to type the saw model into eBay and hit buy it now on the chain i want

Yep - I was thinking a few folk do that.

-Chains Direct for me. Sensible pricing and they're reasonably local so if ordered in the afternoon invariably are on my doorstep the next day.

 

-Ebay if I spot a bargain from a trustworthy source. Eg. 2x Oregon 95TXL 64DL £21 delivered last week.

Being in Denmark I normally buy my felling chains with my normal forest supplier but ripping chain I go to Rob because it's a pain to get them though my normal supplier or they tell me that they don't exist.

I only running Stihl chains on my MS 661 and Oregon on my little husky life is to short for cheap chains that dull quickly.

Sorry I didn't explain properly. If I wanted to buy a firewood processor chain for ours I have to select a chainsaw that I think would use a 24 inch bar to find the chains. It would be easier if I could skip the brand and chainsaw boxes and go straight to bars even if they were all listed and you had to scroll through.

 

It's not the end of the world of course and I expect processors are a tiny percentage of your sales anyway.

 

Alternatively you could start compiling a list of processors if you've got nothing better to do.

 

 

 

I agree, I know I need a 17" type 73 Oregon multicut chain for my tajfun400. So I use chains direct because I can search by chain type instead.

I buy from my main supplier as I have an account there. Always buy loops and always buy genuine Stihl chain. I tend to restock every few months generally buying 4-5 chains for each saw so maybe 20 loops in an order (@£400 ish)

It depends on the saw, the ms150 I can only get the chains from one dealer locally or online and shipping puts the price from online dealers way through the roof.

The standard chain sizes I normally pick one up at the dealership if I'm in the shop and I need one when picking up spare parts,

If I really need a loop I can make one up at the local tractor supply centre/brico builders yard.

Run Husqvarna saws but slowly switching to all Stihl chains, prices are pretty competitive but I find the Stihl chains are superior in quality. And the files, although these are quite a bit more expensive at Stihl than the other shop.
