It's MS462 Time In Tennessee

[ayoungtexan]

Does the 462 seem less durable than the 461? Never used the 461, so I’m curious

Get thou away from me you demon temptress monkey. Before I end up divorced with a killer shop full of saws.

Lol "Mastermind Work Saws: Yeah, we'll take your money!"

The jury is still out on that young man. The 462 is still new enough that we don't have as much feedback on it as we do the 461.

But.....I just got off the phone with one of my customers who has been felling big veneer timber with a 462 I built for him. He loves the saw.....and got it last fall. He's put a bunch of logs on the truck with it, and had zero issues.

That’s good to know. Once I’ve got the money, I may buy a 462 for personal use. And hopefully a 572 along with it cuz the CAD is getting to me

2k plus of work does not equal 2k plus of profit. Heck I'd be stunned if it worked out to 1k in profit. Building, utilities, tools, consumables...

You forgot his favorite Uncle taking his cut right off the top. I always tell folks that think I charge too much for tree work the truth is I get to keep far less than half what I'm charging.

462 is probably my favorite Stihl and right now my favorite saw, I only run a 20" but I look forward to seeing what Randy comes up with. Very interesting.

1) Enjoy them cylinder extensions. I feel your wrist pains from here.

2) A leg workout daily might stop you from tipping over.

Got good recipes for the new model?

Randy,

In a perfect world, assuming you didnt run into any problems or get interrupted - How long does it take you start to finish to tear down, port do all the other tidbits, and reassemble a saw?

BTW - Not to hijack, but the 395XP you built for me is a absolute monster and seems to have gotten stronger since getting broken in. May have to figure out something to upgrade the clutch, to much power for it, not that im complaining

I can do a saw a day usually. Doing them in groups speeds me up some.

Oh yeah. The fellow I spoke with yesterday told me not to change anything.

Up here in canukistan we have to work over half the year for the guberment before we get any money...
With Truegrope at the helm i see that going to 3/4 of a year soon.
Beginning to think it's time to ditch the business and go underground...
May not make as much money,but it would be all mine

You told me you do 10 a day. I assumed with a little sarcasm, but not that much.
