A few questions about Husky chains???

[NYH1]

I picked up my new 365 Friday. Obviously I've been looking through the owners manual. So I have a few questions!

1- It recommends Husqvarna chain types H42 or H48. What is the difference between these two chains?

2- The chains I have for it now are H48 3/8 .058". Looking around on different sites I've noticed that the 3/8 .050" chains seem more popular. Why is this?


Thanks!

I had the same ? When I bought my Jonsered. The troll set me strait on this one! 72=.50 73=.58 and 75=.63 on Oregon chain# I hope this helps. My dealer mainly sells .58 as that is the bar the Jreds he sells come in.

H42 = 73lp
H48 = 73dp !?!?

I'm still confused. I went on Oregon's web site. I could be looking at this wrong but it looks like their 73DP chain is shown with the bumpers like on a safety chain. My H48 chain doesn't have these. I just want to know the the difference between the H42 and H48 so I can figure out which one I should use. I cut hard wood, mostly cherry. If I fell the trees then the wood is clean. Some times I run into a little dirt from moving the trees around. I want a good all round chain. Thanks!

NYH1 , if you're going to be in dirty wood then the semi chisel chain would be best .

Are either the H42 or H48 chains semi chisel? Thanks!

Look at the front of the tooth and if the corner (top plate to side plate) is rounded then it is semi chisel .
