It's Running 20" 3/8 oregon vanguard like the new poulan 2050 comes with. 


I just cut  a 16" piece and 20" piece of hard maple with above chain set up. Saw felt smooth and cut as expected for it's cc size. I like this saw for a clamshell design way better then the 290 series by stihl. 

I then cut with the 55 I took in trade  ;) with a afm 46mm open port topend.  I was only running 15" .325 and stihl rsc chain on it.   If they were running same bar and  chain they would be close.    I dont have time to switch them back and forth right now. 

I then ran my 60cc poulan that has a hurt piston in it but still pulling 130psi with new ring and 455 had more toque in the cut then the old  3750 that  and the poulan 365. I guess I should pull out one of the new PP 330 I have.

The 455 was way smoother in the cut then all of the above saws I ran. It just needs a better chain then the vanguard IMO.
