Anyone directly compared the new 462 to the new 572 yet?

To me listening to him talk is worse than nails on a chalkboard. What good is a 15min saw video with a minute of cutting and the rest commentary when you can only watch it on “mute “?
As much as I don’t like to admit it...I don’t think I could cut a tree down like that guy. My skill level isn’t there yet. Some of his older videos have some pretty impressive falling that I think a lot on here couldn’t even attempt.

That guy can cut! I learn lots by watching.

I prefer the "Logger Wade" videos and sometimes "Buckin' Billy Ray", as they are entertaining and they both talk funny--a Canuck and a Redneck. ;)

I've heard a lot of guys complain about this guy's attitude and that he tries too hard to promote his porting business. I'm not sure about any of that, but he is a pretty darn good feller--can't deny that. I emailed him about a year ago to ask about porting prices and he never answered.

He hates on my Dolmars sometimes, so I can't tolerate that. He gets a strike for hating on my Dolly's.

You might need a rescue to stand by if you found out about his porting prices. I heard they were lots of $$$$$.
He must split it, half for him, half for the good lord on this green earth. LOL

I remember Bob saying that it took some time to get it broke in. He was running a 20-24” bar I believe and I think oregon exl chain.

Night and day difference between new and broken in. First tank, the word "slug" really wouldn't be out of place. :) I wasn't overly concerned, as it was the same way with the prototypes when I got them. It was hooked up pretty good the day you ran it in CT. But it has continued to get better since then. Probably another 3-4 tanks and it has found yet another gear; and still hasn't hit 10 tanks. (been way too busy). Ran it last week in some 20" ash along with one of my 930 Supers, and it really wasn't that all that far behind. Obviously couldn't lean on it as much as the 930, but it's kicking tail right now. And I've gotten to run it on a couple hot days now and have not seen any hot start issues at all. :)

I get it that everybody can't wait to argue about the 572 vs 462, but they'll both no doubt be great saws and there won't be all that much cross over in the market. Stihl guys will buy the stihl and Husky guys will buy the Husky. Let's face it, no matter how good the 572 is, guys like Jeff and Mike aren't going to buy one anymore than I would ever buy a 462. Most of us pretty much have just one brand in our DNA, so the "other saw" doesn't really matter.

Funny thing for me though is the Stihl dealer a 1/4 mile down the road that we've been competing with for over 20 years is closing in 2 weeks. So the 572 vs 462 thing really isn't going to happen too much in my world.
