Since this discussion was about "new" chainsaws, some may not be aware that for the last so many years, chainsaws bought OTC have come factory equipped with a low kick back chain. These chains don't cut very well at all even when brand new and as sharp as can be.
I have a Stihl and a Husky, both with full chisel chains and they both run through wood like a bandit. Neither would cut very well with the factory supplied "low kickback" chains.
