Could ash yellows disease be taking over after the ash borer is done and that's why some of the these trees are going punky faster than others and thats why its important to get them cut and dry .

The stage that i am wondering about is when the bark starts to come off in small strips and you can see the tree sticking out like a sore thumb from 40 -50 yards away , from this point when its very easy to see there infected how long do I have to get them processed .Thanks for all the reply's...

Its kind of odd but it was explained to me buy some loggers that getting it under roof was critical or it would get punky in two years if left outside getting wet !! Not sure why it would go so fast ?

Man we are really being hit hard with the ash borer here in Pa. , I have 50 trees affected with the bark falling off in just a small area around me, its a real shame to see them all die , we are also losing are Hemlock trees .On the up side its going to make alot of good firewood but Im afraid...

Seems like there has been alot of talk on this subject but I can't seem to find a answer on any of search's . Does anyone make a better replacement gas cap for my huskys 346xp and a 359 . What would be nice is a cap that you can take off without having to find a screwdriver everytime and most of...

How about the Hemlock , anyone loosing them too , I'll be walking in the woods and there is a beautiful Hemlock all the needles gone ,standing dead .

Sounds pretty wide spread , Michigan to Pa , not sure about the New England states . Sorry to hear about your 1000 ash plantings oldman thats hard to take , its alot of work planting and taking care of trees . We are also loosing all of are Hemlock to some kind of blight but its not getting...

I'm in northeast PA and I'm starting to see a lot of white ash standing with most of the bark gone , leaving a brown inner bark exposed with holes from the emerald borer . Not sure how wide spread this is , anyone else seeing this .

He is cutting probably 85% hardwood , I'd like to try it just to see how it cuts and feels , would there be alot of vibration .

Ran into one of the local loggers today and since I've been on a chain kick lately I had to ask him what chain he uses. He completely surprised me I was thinking stihl or oregon 3/8 chain , he answered 3/8 Husky skip chain !! Said its all he uses he can sharpen in the field fast and can't see...

Was talking to Madsens the other day (if you haven't looked there site over your missing some good info and tutorials ) and I asked the question about running 3/8 chain on a husky 346 xp that comes factory with only .325 and he said they don't like doing it and that husqvarna doesn't advise it...

So what do we have for chain manufactures now- stihl probably the best quality , Oregon might be going over seas but second best so far , Blount brands not sure what your going to get , then silver streak and other imports , seems like the list is getting shorter !

Philbert thanks for posting there website I tried searching and couldn't find it .

Carlton has been around for quite awhile and some like it just fine as its a decent chain for a real good price . The woodland pro chain is made by carlton .Its not considered a hi end chain with all the bells and whistles that stihl and maybe oregon put into there chain .

It looks like Blount is buying all the chain manufactures out , so far they own -- carlton , windsor, silver streak and oregon , am I right on all of these ,I can't believe it .I'm sure there not importing there whole line but who knows what chain is imported and what isn't .

Thanks , I thought it was a semi chisel just wanted to make sure , its just not keeping a good edge .

I know this has been covered but is the carlton K1C a semi chisel or full chisel . thanks

Thanks for the info Ken , what do I need for the change , just a rim sprocket , bar and chain .

What damage could it do, I've heard the possibility of twisting the crankshaft as it wasn't designed for the extra pull not sure if that could happen. It would be easier to have just one chain size and I have heard 3/8 chain doesn't dull as easy as there is a longer cutting area than .325 .

I'm not impressed with carlton lately , been using it for quite awhile now just doesn't seem to hold an edge on my 346 but seems better on the 359 with 3/8 . Keep thinking about changing the 346 over to 3/8 chain but I don't want to hurt my baby .
