That's a nice one.

Id like to get up to selling 30 cords next season. Also buy a new 576xp. Cant deciede wether or not to spring for autotune though. Have not heard enough solid info about it on that saw.

DO WHAT YOU WANT! BUT STAY AWAY FROM THE AUTO TUNE.

 

[svk]

Get Tsumara/Total light bars in 28 and 18". I am HOOKED after my one for the 394 in 32".

Is that a 576 specific problem? I love AT on my 550.

every since i got the 455 r auto tune it's been a problem! the computer says 125 hours(2yrs) ! twice in the shop for refig, and a month ago a new top end after a ring broke. factory warrenty ended 11/15 /15 covered 50/50 on the repair... still dont start worth a D.

 

[chucker]

while the 455 was in the shop i needed another saw fast so picked a huski 460 off the shelf and away we go!! no auto tune and she out performs the auto tune hands down!!

I'm hopeful to cut up a bunch of standing dead ash before it goes punky. Problem is my shed holds 20 cord and is almost full and I'm burning on a pile (@15 cord) from 2 years ago, so running out of places to stack it, but would like to cut at least 20-30 cords in 2016. In the process of getting my 7900 ported and the only saw left will be my 550 xp to port maybe this coming summer. 'm actually really content with my curent line up. Cad has slowed way down for me.

 

[hanniedog]

ash man where abouts in Ohio are you?

 

[ash man]

20 minutes east of Norwalk

 

[hanniedog]

About 45 minutes west of Norwalk near Green Springs. Your close to Wellington then.

 

[ash man]

I'm about 10 minutes west of Wellington. I'm only like a mile south of 18

 

[hanniedog]

So where are you snagging all the ash from?

 

[ash man]

There is still quite a bit of it still standing. I have 3-4 places I cut close to my house. You don't still have a bunch of dead ash where you are?

 

[hanniedog]

Still a fair amount here too some with easy access some not so easy. Some is standing while a fair amount is blown over.

 

[Oldman47]

I need to at least cut the ash next to the power line before it becomes a problem. After that, we shall see.

 

[hanniedog]

Glad i don't have to deal with power lines.

 

[CaseyForrest]

I'm going to give myself a modest goal of 15 cords.

Do you go through that much wood every year or are you referring to face cords?

 

[ash man]

Hannie probably have to wait till it freezes or we have dry weather for 4-5 days. Most of the woods I cut in are low lying. I usually pull a 4x8 trailer behind my 4 Wheeler, so it needs to be pretty firm ground. I still have 20-25 larger ash trees to take down at my fil, but he lives in Medina and I will only make the trek if I can get my 16' trailer close to the trees.

Is that a 576 specific problem? I love AT on my 550.

From what i understand the 576 AT was one of the first autotunes and it has had a few reliability issues but the 550 and 562 have been almost bullett proof
