Snowblower Chain

[filipows]

I am preparing for snow season. I bought a used GR2846A snowblower this spring. I am checking things over in advance

Now for the question. On line a replacement chain (39 links of #40 chain) from Kubota or others lists for $60-65. If I could by 39 links of#40 and a connector link for 1/3 of that. Why should I pay the price.

Is there a special designation for this chain? Inquiring minds want to know
Thanks

Is your question, "Can I buy aftermarket chain?"
Yes #40 chain is #40 chain.
Like anything else, Quality of the chain is subjective.

Quality is important. Cheap chain will kink and destroy sprockets PDQ.

Me? I'd buy a quality motorcycle chain, if enough room side to side, a good X or O ring chain in a 420 size (same as a 40 only more robust). One good chain will will last a life time.
