Poulan Pro 16" Chainsaw Chain 581562201 56DL 3/8 LP .050 PR4218 PP3816 OEM.
Restore Clean, Smooth Cutting Speed & Reduce Kickback: Genuine Poulan Pro Chain
Eliminate kerf binding, bar smoking, excessive operator fatigue, ragged cuts, and loose chain sag on your 16" chainsaw. This Genuine Poulan Pro Factory OEM 16-Inch Cutting Chain Loop (Part Number 581562201 / 581 56 22-01) is the authentic factory replacement saw chain engineered explicitly for Poulan, Poulan Pro, Craftsman, and Husqvarna chainsaws running a 16-inch guide bar with 3/8" Low Profile pitch, .050" gauge, and 56 drive links . Operating a compact 2-stroke saw with a dull or dragging chain forces the engine to run lean and hot, dramatically shortening powerhead life.
Manufactured to Husqvarna/Poulan Pro's strict original equipment standards, this commercial-grade cutting loop features durable semi-chisel cutters that stay sharp significantly longer when cutting through dirty bark, weathered firewood, and abrasive yard blowdowns. The 3/8" Low Profile (3/8" LP / 3/8" Mini) chassis requires less engine horsepower to pull through hardwood, maximizing chain speed on 33cc–42cc powerheads. Equipped with ramped depth gauges and bumper drive links, it meets strict low-kickback safety standards (ANSI B175. 1) to deliver smooth, low-vibration bucking and limbing without aggressive grabbing or chatter.
This authentic factory replacement cutting loop is cataloged under Poulan Pro / Husqvarna OEM Part Number 581562201 (581 56 22-01 / 5815622-01 / 16" Saw Chain Loop / 3/8 LP .050 56DL / Semi-Chisel Chain) .
Why This Genuine Poulan Pro 581562201 OEM Chain is the Home & Ranch Standard:
100% Genuine Factory OEM Component: Precision-engineered by Husqvarna/Poulan Pro for exact bar-slot tracking and drive sprocket alignment.
Forgiving Semi-Chisel Cutters: Holds a sharp cutting edge far longer than square-corner full-chisel chains when cutting sandy, dirt-encrusted wood and root collars.
Low-Kickback Safety Design: Features ramped depth gauges to minimize kickback energy without sacrificing cutting speed or smooth bore cutting.
Low-Vibration 3/8" LP Chassis: Reduces saw shake and operator fatigue during prolonged firewood bucking and storm cleanup sessions.
High-Strength Heat-Treated Alloy Steel: Resists high-tension stretch across all 56 drive links, keeping tension stable through long cutting intervals.

🛠️ Pro-Maintenance Tip: Watch the "Cold Chain Tensioning & 5/32" Filing Secret!" Cold Tensioning Secret: Always set chain tension on a cold bar! Pull the chain along the top rail with a gloved hand; the drive link tangs should just barely touch the bottom of the bar groove without sagging, but still move freely without binding. Never tension a chain that is smoking hot from cutting—as it cools down, steel contracts and will place severe binding loads on your crankshaft bearings and sprocket nose. Filing Secret: When hand-filing semi-chisel teeth with a standard 5/32" round file, maintain a consistent 30° top-plate angle and keep the file level (0° horizontal tilt). Use light, forward-only strokes into the tooth face—never drag the file backward, as backward filing dulls the file teeth and creates microscopic burrs on the cutter chrome plating.
