I have an even smaller machine-- 18" max, only 5HP. A HudSon unit. Locally I have found a guy with an automated sharpener he bought for his much large machine and he does mine for $8/each. His machine does a great job and I need not ship them off somewhere. Search under sawmills, sawmill...

more pics. . . The long bar, 32", came with the 462 so I have been "storing" it on the old 362. Really have no need for such a long bar but plan to keep it . . . just in case.

thanks for your time and the detail!

How much should I sell it for? In great condition, starts and runs just fine. I have had this 362 for at least 10 years but upgraded it last year with a 462CM and new exhaust. After using the 462 I won't look back; also have an 025C for small stuff. Thinking of offering this up for $370 with...

I have been thinking of adding to my saws and been thinking the 261 would be a great one. Now have 462CM and 025C. what do you think of my choice? is there a better one for me? thx.

thanks. Yeah my efficiency crack comes from engineering background. I could not help myself there! No way to calculate efficiency without a power source . . . the bar has no power. . . I guess they are thinking narrower kerf means less power to run the saw. . . Higher efficiency. . . 20%...

hmmmm 200 grams?! that is hardly worth doing. < 1/2 lb 20% more efficient. . . Huh? how is THAT possible? My viewpoint is I sure hope their design change has been tested in real life. If more likely to bend for any reason will really hurt the Stihl brand. My opinion is they should be...

also a 462 owner. . . just curious-- length and cost?

This post is a bit OFF subject. . . sorry. Wondering about sharpening carbide chains. I bought ONE from Rapco and quickly chewed it up by failing to sharpen it soon enough after it started dulling a bit. Ended up with a bunch of broken carbide tips. Rapco fixed it up and re-sharpened it for...

This is an odd place to post this but since you ask. Once concrete has revealed it is broken internally by showing surface cracks and pitting it is aleady too late. It will continue to degrade and any aesthetic fixes you may make will not be able to heal the internal structural breaks. It may...

-- take a ruler and physically measure the internal diameter(ID) of the line, convert it to fractions and decimals -- use the link provide by Stumpshot to choose the closest ID SMALLER than what you got -- all is good, Don't rely on glues to handle this problem; relay on a tight fit. If...

Wow. Got way more than expected. Thanks for all the help guys! I tried this and it worked fine on my existing setup; plan to mod with the Egan today(May5) and re-do. thanks again

ORDERED! Not familiar with the M tronic Reset process. . . suggestions? THANKS.

Hey, this is nice to hear. I just bought a 462 last summer and have only used it on two trees so far. A nice saw; outperforms my 362 for sure. Can you folks tell me more about your Mods: --25" Cannon bar -- WCS Bark Box -- Egan Straight Shot THANKS.

Very interesting post. It appears you created a dynamometer; you called it a dyno but the thread talk here only mentions tach readings. So, I am a bit confused as to if it truly is. If so, I want one! Also confused because most of the tuning talk is beyond me since I do not understand the...
