MS462C - 572XP Comparison

[Mastermind]

I'm not sure how much the heated handles add to the husky, but it's a lard ass in weight comparison.

I was really surprised at the difference in weight.

Is the 462 that much smaller in size?

Dolmar 7910 is lighter!
@Mastermind does the 462 feel durable?
One of my concerns with the ultra light weight is that they sacrifice strength to save weight

I’d like to be entertained while I wait.

How's this working out? lol

Both empty or both full?

I am curious as to how rugged the bottom end of the 462 is. The 572 uses the same size main bearings as a 395 so I don't foresee it having crankshaft/bearing issues. If the same can be said for the 462 it should be a home run.

About damn time this thing derailed, so a cover of...

How much faster is the 7910 than either the 572 or the 462?

Curious to your thoughts on these few things Randy... What one balances better with the 28” bar? What one oils the 28” bar better? Which one has more torque? Last but not least which one is smoother?

This is a chainsaw forum... everyone runs a 20” on a 70+ cc saw. 28” is for a 90cc.

Just because the 572 has 6203 sized bearings ain't really the same have it having a 395 bottom end.....is it?

Same crankshaft? Nope.

572 has an inboard clutch too.....

The 572 balanced better with the 28. Both seemed to oil it well. I used both saws ripping the test wood into a cant. The 572 clears noodles better.

Yeah....it feels solidly built.

Wow the husky is almost pushing 16lbs at 15lb 14 ounces. That thing is pushing 390 territory. Curious how much the heated handle adds.

Video? Been way longer than 90 minutes...

I figured the 572 would “anchor” the 28” better.

I'm not sure WTF is up with my internet. 10 minutes remaining.

Can't add much. It did have a couple of ozs of oil in it....fuel tank was empty.

Thanks for your input Randy. To me a saw that balances a bar rather than being nose heavy... is going to be less tiring after a few hours of work. That’s just my preference though. The 462 probably balances a lightweight 24. My 562 does and it’s about a 1/2lb lighter, so the 462 should be able to.

I think the 462 would be perfect with a 25" ES Lite.
