    What can I do to improve the health of the wooded parts of my property?

    Thanks! I have a small tractor with a backhoe, does it make sense to just dig out the honeysuckle that I can get to, or will be causing myself more trouble potentially leaving behind part of the root system going that route? Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Thanks for the guidance guys. What I was hoping for was a guide that shows what the tail mount patterns actually look like with measurements, etc. No kidding about how expensive/hard to find the D176 tail mount bar are! I've not been able to find any information on the 'D6' bar which came with...

    What can I do to improve the health of the wooded parts of my property?

    I don't use much firewood, but by use it I meant mill it and (hopefully) end up making some nice furniture out of it. I think Ash is a really pretty wood and some of the trees I took down are large enough to get some really nice usable lumber out of. Most of these trees were still barely...

    Thanks for the help PJM. I struggled for hours trying to identify a few of these!

    What can I do to improve the health of the wooded parts of my property?

    There is decent amount of honeysuckle, but I think most of it is something else. My local master gardener told me to identify invasive honeysuckle by looking for hollow stems, which has been helpful so far. I was also able to get out and take some photos today as you suggested -- I definitely...

    Is there a "decoder ring" of sort for these tail mount codes? The one I currently have on is marked "D6" which I have found no information on at all. It required a bit of modification but seems to work fine. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Sorry to ask this again, but can anyone point me to a 30" or 32" bar I can use with my 4400? Oregon doesn't list anything bigger than 28". Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Tried that trick, but it was still a total battle. Kinda seemed like the 5/16 OD was too large and 1/4 OD was too small.

    Hey all, thanks for the help and guidance with my Poulan 4400 the other week. Finally got the fuel line replaced after several hours of cursing! I did end up using the 5/16" OD fuel line and it was a serious battle to get it pulled all the way into the tank. Almost gave up and went down a size...

    What can I do to improve the health of the wooded parts of my property?

    I bought a 4.5 acre property in central PA last year that is partially wooded and also surrounded by 25+ acres of woods on three sides. I'd like to understand what I can do as a property owner to help improve the health of the wooded areas and also make it more robust to any future diseases or...

    I think the 5/16 OD line a few people suggested will be perfect. Wasn't able to find any locally to confirm though.

    Picked up some 1/8 x 1/4 Tygon fuel line today, but it was still too small and didn't seal perfectly where it enters the tank. Thanks! I wasn't actually able to find the 3/16 x 5/16 locally, so looks like I'll need to order some online. I plan to replace the filter - it's pretty grungy looking...

    Hi Guys, Hoping someone can give me some guidance on fixing the fuel leak on a 4400 Counter Vibe which I picked up recently. I've not been able to find a shop manual for this saw and I don't have much experience with chainsaws in general. Fuel is leaking from where the tube enters into the...

    Poulan 4400

    I don't feel like it's worth my time or effort to try and resell it. Is it really such a bad idea to tune it up and just use it? I'm not looking to mill a ton of lumber and that's part of the reason I'm holding myself to a budget. Thanks for the Hutzl link -- I've never seen the Hutzl kits...

    Poulan 4400

    Picked up this Poulan Counter Vibe 4400 the other night -- $130 with an extra bar and two chains with plenty of life left. It's in extremely nice shape for it's age and I get the impression that it's never been used very hard. According the owner it's never even had any dogs installed on it. It...
