I have on my 445, and 51 Husky this chain. It is not a safety chain but my saws make the chips fly, Ken

Kind of an ominous warning from the Baileys link...
"WARNING: This saw chain is capable of kickback and could result in serious injury to the saw operator or bystanders. Do not use this chain unless you are experienced in dealing with kickback. Saw chain with reduced kickback potential is available."
That said, once you get comfortable with the saw, you are going to want a more aggressive chain for what your friendly tree service is dropping off. You can also get away with a 20" bar on that saw if the 16 isn't big enough for some of those rounds. They are a bit of a PIA to find for the smaller saws without changing the sprocket, but Jonsered makes one. Just might have to order it.
