I have handle an older model that had the action cleaned up, and they are very nice to operate and it was point and shoot for me very little aiming needed

The initial exl factory grind is hard almost ruining a file most times but that does stay sharp a little bit longer , but not much. But after the first sharpening it just as soft, cuts way ruffer and way slower. Lgx is a much more versatile smooth, taller, and longer tooth. After I use up the...

It seems the 461's have a much smoother and predictable power band. They seem to last forever my old one is getting towards 10 years old it's cut a lot of trees and bucked more. After about 8 months I noticed a performance drop on both 462's but I'm thinking its plug related.

I have this too I just push through it with exl and exj. Never had it with lgx and I can make lgx faster than exl but nobody carried lgx at logging congress last year

I've been running 2 462's for my main cutting saws for the last 2 years, and in January bought the last 461 in my area that I could find. I much prefer the 461 for a 25 inch bar ( but I prefer aggressive rakers and 8 pin rim) . fuel consumption is about the same or less at the end of the day.

Not nearly as bad as the gearamatic once you learn how to adjust it they last pretty good, what does go bad most of the time is the main bearing by the clutches and brake, it will wear its way in to the main shaft and slip

Axles are good and strong

15w40 in the engine, 80w90 in the transmission and Axles, 80w90 or 85w140 in transfercase, and 85w140 or some special brass gear oil in the winch. Check the brakes, titan machinery in saint Joseph wi is your go to place for parts 1-608-788-1025, ask for arvid, if he ain't there try again when...

Hey just seen you were in Winona mn area I'm just south of lacrosse by stoddard wi

The eaton/Hercules winches are cheaper to work on but not quite as strong as the gearamatic, I prefer the eaton/Hercules. A series started about 1984 till mid 90's they are nice machines, depending how it was maintained in the past. We do a good bit of the eaton winch repair work for the loggers...

I've only bought the 65cc g372 about 6 of them they all need the carb tuned funny like really far out on the low an barely open on the high jet. Other wise they are smooth and oil and buck logs on the landing

The guy seemed ok to me he just didn't like the chain. I've never liked an out of the box chain

It sounds to me it needs a muffler mod an 8 pin sprocket and rackers touched. Seemed he was pushing on it to cut and it wasn't self feeding

There is a 592 and 585 at the great lakes logging and heavy equipment expo at the husqvarna booth, I didn't take the time to look at them I had a 4 year old that wanted to see the big machines and the reps were busy talking

I've got Swede pro boots from gempler's in Wisconsin. I love em, depending how steep the ground is I get one to two years but I don't wear them in snow
