Huskyboy meets the ms462c

[TreeLife]

Us saw geeks collect spikes......and chain catchers......and handlebars. It's bling for the saw.......everyone knows that.

You arent wrong

 

[Stihl Potlicker]

hey my wife and our twin boys have birthdays in May. guess i will have to buy 3 462s and bling that goes with them for birthday presents

Same saw. I ordered the outside matching spike and don’t like how it flops forward. I don’t like the bar in the dirt, so I wasted some coin. Had these sitting here already.

Wish I had two of them.

Here ya go pat
It can't touch the dirt if your wearing it.

Meh... chain catcher isn’t bling imho. The metal catcher kind of sucks on a 70cc and up if your gonna be doing any serious kind of cutting. Not just stihl, but I noticed husky on the 572 they tried to save $ too with the metal catch and small single spike. It destroys the chain when it gets thrown and doesn’t last long. The dogs... eh it’s a matter of personal preference and what your cutting. It’s only bling to upgrade the saw if your just a dude that cuts cookies on the weekend who could get away with using a farmboss or rancher saw lol. I think personalization is a better term.

Like a baby Bjorn for a saw!

If you’re as bad at sharpening chains as I am you’d be afraid of dirt too

I'm sure you could turn it around
So you could play with the saw.

I hate posting my mistakes but here goes, I pinched the 462 in a log bucking on the landing today (hey I’m only human here lol). The excavator was right there to set me free, in the process a second log was grabbed up to the pinch log by accident. Smacked the underside of the 462. Not real hard, but hard enough I was like uh oh... . Nothing happened to the saw thankfully, held up fine. Good to know it can take a little bit of a hit. I wouldn’t recommend trying it though, especially if it isn’t your saw. Lol

Priced a 462 R today at dealer. Regular handle $949. and 3/4 $979. with 20" b/c.
It is now ordered!

 

[friendlywithbears]

Dang I was so ready to start cutting I didn't realize my dealer gave me a regular ES 25" bar instead of the light he promised...bummer.

All these pictures with the ES light have me jealous now.

Never shy away from posting your mistakes my friend. We all make them.....and we can all learn from them.

I run the hell out of other people's saws
That's the fun of it.

I'm paying a little more, and I buy a lot of saws.

Has any one gotten a compression reading from one yet? Im curious

I need a 10mm gauge that I actually believe first.

Obligatory pic from a few days ago before starting the spring firewood processing.

That’s much less than was posted above.

That’s only $20 more than what the 441CM was listed for at the house John Deere Stihl Seller.

I don’t call them a dealer because that includes a good service department.

That’s my problem too. I’m not sold 100% on my tester with the standard fitting. The 10mm is sketchy even wrapped in Teflon tape.
