Where are Carlton saw chains manufactured?

I give. I was just trying to share an experience that I had and not push my views, or agenda on anyone.

I for one REALLY appreciate this attitude

Not really. That's the average. Sometimes we can get 10 bucks in big stuff, but it's rare. Cottonwood is tougher than you think. Changing the chain is a lot cheaper than burning up dull chain (and bars) and wasting time and fuel. Also, the bark is often packed with sand and Lord knows what else from floods.

Windthrown and HeyDuke also know.

A LOT of sand on the Missouri River Valley The little band saw pop up mills really get an education. I always liked sawing (Circular mill) cottonwood from west of me on the Blue river as a rule it was harder/,, pink under the bark/ very little fuzz/black loam little or no sand, and a better grade. Takes a sharper blade to "CUT" a cottonwood log than "CHIP" an Oak log.

I googled Blount Oergon and found the pic on a site out of Belgium. I didn't know Oregon also sold atv batteries.
I used to live 20 miles from the factory in Guelph Ontario, but was never in there. I should have gone dumpster diving. Lol

Blount owned the Belgian based KOX bar and chain (+ more?) brand for a while, so the picture may have something to do with that?

I read that Blount sold all the bar and chain related brands they owned not long ago though?

Where / what are you reading Nikko? There was some change in ownership a year or so ago, but they still list all their saw chain brands on their website:

Likely my memory was off, and it was the ownership of Blount itself that actually changed. If that means anything for the brands under Blount remains to see, but it wouldn't surprise me if it does at some point.
