In the above pic the chain on the left is the cheap chain that broke and notice no wear. the one on the right is a japanese manafacture and the one on left is not. The one on the right was original that I replaced after I found water in the chaincase and replaced because I was worried that it was weakened. You can see the wear.I have a hard time relying on manafactures specs anymore but thats all the info we sometimes have. Machine specs that you see on the web site and brochures bother me too. Knock-offs are common but they are getting better. I like to see a consumer report sort of thing where the the specs are tested using the same cryteria.I just wanted to show a real example of what I found, so people will have a heads up when they go and purchase the chain.The bobcat chain is probably the best choice but all my machines use a masterlink from the factory.Scott</blockquote>
