Huskyboy meets the 572xp

You need a back up for the back up

Hey, I have 2 ported 462s and they are rapidly becoming my favorite saws. One wears a 24" bar, one a light 20" bar. They are strong enough to buck (fast) anything those bars will handle, are light enough to use for limbing, have instant throttle response (also great for limbing) and good AV and clean filter tech. Plus, you don't need to carry a stupid little screw driver with you!

If I had to cut larger trees on a regular basis I may give the nod to a 572, but for felling, bucking and limbing trees that are usually less than 24" in diameter, IMO there is no better saw out there.

I used them both extensively both yesterday and today, and they are just what the Doctor ordered for the type of stuff I usually do.

I'm glad I have other saws, but if I had to pick only one saw, it would be one of my 462s.

Feel free to start a 462 thread Mr. Mike. No one is stopping you.

Some sights from yesterday working with the saw

 

[MustangMike]

What size bar are you running on it Mason?

 

[MustangMike]

I agree. 462 is as fast or faster no question and it is lite... but I felt it was lite on torque... felt like I was fussing with the chain more often than the 572 to keep it cutting well.

I should have just clicked a reply to this!!!

Who ported the 462s?

 

[RI Chevy]

He has a MMWS and a MOFO
Nice huh? Lol

Yeah I'm jealous

Hey, you got yourself some very special stuff over the last year yourself, looking forward to running you stuff at a GTG and vice versa!

Always fun to try different stuff, and there is no one size fits all.

That Echo/Stihl of yours seems to be way up there on the power to weight meter!

I'm very fond of the 462, I get to use a mildly modified one at work and it's a favorite.

Yes, the echo hybrid should really be exciting. It came in today and I'm stoked to try it. I've got a 24 or 28 to stuff on it.

24-32”... 24 most of the time.

I’m sorry you were offended by my post telling my experiences with the 462 logging with it. Lol

Slight lack of torque is ok. Just don’t call it”peaky”.

 

[huskyboy]

Slight lack of torque is ok. Just don’t call it”peaky”.

I was merely explaining the 462 torque curve is higher up and prefers a chain that is filed optimal for that. I would take a guess a increase in compression would help that greatly vs stock.

 

[MustangMike]

Not offended Mason, was just pointing out that I was not the one that brought them into this thread.

Besides, both mine are ported!

Too weak to pull a 33” bar too[emoji23]

Nope it's just a little "weaky"....

Thank god there's no war or sh!t flying across this thread
I'm not using a 462 with 33" too nose heavy..
And why I'm here? I don't own a 572
Just own too much saws to buy a new one..
