ms 462

I think he's confusing torque with the difference in the felling spikes. If he'd put the small dogs back on the 461 he'd find it's much harder to stall the chain.

"If" I was allowed to send these to the US it would run about $1350USD with PayPal fees.

Wonder what I can get for a well used kidney...

Very well used...
Probably a "rough trade in" value.

I'm thinking maybe a worn piston might slap and do it. Or a defect maybe. 661 does it too. There's a thread on here about it, and the 1st one I ported for Rodney did it. Both on the bottom left intake skirt

Most felling cuts are with the flywheel side up. could there be a connection with air flow/cooling/lube etc. Grasping at frog hairs with this thought.

No idea really. There isn't a whole lotta room for anything else in there. Once the piston wears a little I could see where it might bump something

I think he's confusing YT stardom and being a dbag.

What do you mean "if"?
Getting soft on us?

Nah, human’s a good guy.

Yeh I agree, I’ve been watching his yt vids for along time.

He talks to the camera too much for me. I'm more about narration of what's going on in a timely fashion.
Plus if you are going to open a box then say "time" at the end like AvE you need to do it AvE style and rip that box to shreds.

 

[J. Loe]

Valid point

The only thing I noticed about the 462 is it had a very light loose feeling to the AV system. The 461 has typical rubber AV where it's a pretty solid feeling to it. Feels rugged. Idk I'm torn between 461 and 462 the more I think about it.

MS461R is a hard mid-size saw to beat.

Was the 461 run lean or is there a internal issue with them??

Nothing lives forever on lack of lube & not enough breathing room.

Touch Bases with the Flyin’ Dutchman.

He believes he’s using the right ratio mixing an oil container for 5 gallons with 4 1/2 gallons of gas.

It doesn’t sound right to me.

@ 32:1, it should be 3.4 gallons of gas, no?

Optional stiff and soft springs like husky does with the 372/390 is a good idea.

If Only.

Rancho 9000s now for the MS661R & MS881R.

If you put a 24" bar on a 60cc saw is what this 462 feels like with a standard 28" bar.

Best I can come up with.

Pleasantly Surprised

You think that's gonna be a big hit ?

I Do.

It’s going to replace the 461 as their mid size felling saw.

The 462 was always supposed to replace the 440/441 saws. IDK why it’s not the 442...

A 461 with a touché more grunt.

I think my hybrid and 461 are fairly close. Hybrid is probly ahead by a little bit.
I ran the hybrid against a ported 462 with the same chain in a 24” cant.
462 has a ways to go before I’d consider using it over either of the two saws I have

In my experience, Hybrids are great in 28” & <, but when a 32” comes out, the 461 has more guts.

Not to say my High Bred don’t do it, but for me, the 461 does a 32” better.

28" reduced weight is what many loggers round here use. Including myself for a LONG time. Not even just for timber size, but to reduce bending over so much.

Let me know how you feel about it, honestly after using it a bit. I value your input...
