18H Harvester Chain 18HX (HARVESTER CHAIN)


Oregon® 18HX harvester saw chain is an enhanced version of our aggressive, durable 18H chain built exclusively for mechanized timber harvesters.
  • Aggressive Micro-Chisel® cutters
  • Designed for use with .080” gauge bars
  • Thicker drive link reduces stretch, reduces bar binding, and provides longer cutting life
  • Improved drive link features include a better drive link hole burnish, reduced stretch, and better fatigue life.
  • LubriLink™ tie straps help keep oil where it's needed - on the chain
  • 18HX presets with the “gold” tie straps MUST be used with 18HX harvester chain
  • Not for hand-held use


11BC Harvester Chain
 The old pro in mechanical cutting with new rivet material to lessen stretch. Big ¾” pitch .122” gauge chain, built originally for mechanical applications. Features classic chipper style cutters. Delivers cutting performance with heavyweight durability.
  • Chipper cutters have fully rounded working corners and side plates for a big aggressive bite, easy sharpening and edge-holding durability
  • Patented Oregon® steel material and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes keep stretch and wear to a minimum, even while working in brutal cold-weather cutting conditions

11H (SEMI-CHISEL)

[click here for detail view]
The all new semi-chisel cutter on 11H chain is another OREGON® first. The cutter features more aggressive grind angles, a balanced depth-gauge setting, a wider gullet, longer stay sharp, and an offset footprint (to minimize bar “knife-edging”). The superior cutting speed and efficiency are very noticeable. Other new feature is a new rivet material that lessens stretch.
  • Semi-chisel cutters make 11H an aggressive, high-performance chain.
  • Advanced chassis design helps reduce weight, dynamic loading, and wear while maintaining superior strength
  • Patented Oregon® steel material and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes keep stretch and wear to a minimum, even while working in brutal cold-weather cutting conditions
