MS462C - 572XP Comparison

[Lightning Performance]

If you are in a position to pull new saws out of boxes and test drive them on a near daily basis.......it sure opens your eyes.

Here's another true bomb. I've seen more 390XPs with busted jugs than any other saw. For some strange reason the jug bolts vibrate loose.

That I fully believe. 390 hurts my hand in fifteen minutes. I find that statement says a lot about the big end of a saw. 395 feels much smoother but it ain't no 661 or 64xx. The 79xx is my next best pic around 80cc. I digress.... back to the 70 sub catagory.

 

[Lightning Performance]

Right? Put a stock 70-80cc saw from any mfg up against a 7900. I'd bet on the dolly...which is why it would be so cool to see it against these two in the wood

You mean a 73xx, right?

 

[frank rizzo]

so if one all ready has the 461R and that could take a 36"b/c if need be, and you get it ported. is it really worth spending the money for a 462? instead of investing the money? CHANGE MY MIND

I wood say get the 461R ported and you’ve got a helluva saw that’ll pull and oil a 32” bar no problem ... slap a 20” bar and production-cut away ... looks like the 462cm is a different beasr with the short stroke and bigger bore ... Not gonna pull a 32” bar like a 461R - not sure if it’ll oil it either -

my dealer said somehting about 12600rpm for break-in, after that 13300 max. But I don't know how much hours exactly needed

Irrelevant in the cut.

Update: CHAOS is non relevant word to describe what is happening...

2 confirmed deaths, people missing, others evacuating like refugees from war zones,people drop to sea yes at sea to escape and public services completely lost as there’s no plan.
Disaster... I cannot describe really.
Coast guard evacuates people at boats. The best tourist port is also on fire. Actually a huge coastal line on fire.

Area of Operations Landscape: Worst possible!!! Pinewood forests which behave as explosives mixed with olive trees which is the best worst wood to keep the fire alive as a huge coal!!!
Wind ripping at even 90km/h at times from all directions.

Planes and helicopters failed to help.

Couple of pinewoods fell down but feels we can make a safe zone as there are trees surrounding and inside houses. We moved them with ropes on private cars as there is nobody and nothing available for help.

NON EXISTENT COORDINATION

P.S Disgrace: firemen came with their stihl 064 attached to UNIMOG vehicle to us to sharp their chains. They kept them DULL for years never gave 1€ to buy a round file. Unbelievable!

Thanks for your interest.

 

[Evansaw]

Just slap a MANGUM sticker on it....that's worth 3cc's.


If you need something, I'm only an hour away. Stay safe.

Honestly thanks but roads closed. Even breathing is an issue here at Nea Makri area. Chaos i m telling you chaos!

 

[frank rizzo]

Stay safe brother ! I’ve been following along on the net ... looks like a doozy

300 houses burned

Cars burned like explosions

Warships yes warships came at bay for evacuation!

We just heard that 14th year old girl died as she drawned at sea trying to escape fire.

This is a nightmare nobody knows nothing: we just plan execute and replan.

 

[frank rizzo]

I’ve heard the auto-tune and mtronic systems do not like the smoke from fires - heard it messes em up ... anybody want to chime-in any info / experience on this topic ?

 

[Lightning Performance]

So.......replacing a muffler is a walk in the park for a guy like you.

He probable has them in his tool box at work. Gets pissed at them and chucks the junkers in the woods.

Im really not impressed with the 5-series Husqvarnas... they are really overhyped IMO. I would take a 357xp over a 562xp ANY DAY.

I helped a buddy buck up some pine this morning, between 8-20”, and he was using a 550xp... and it was struggling big time. My MMWS 262xp was easily twice as fast through the bigger wood, and that 550 was bogging bad if pushed on at all... hell, I bet my 242xp would’ve spanked it in the smaller wood.

Hopefully the 572xp is better, but I’m not spending that kinda cash to find out.

 

[Lightning Performance]

The first time I tore a MS661 apart.......I was like, Yep the bastards have been paying attention. Nice flat, wide squish band.......

That clearly shows how long it took them to let go of 2-3% of the power band they knew they would loose a long time ago. Plus they needed to overcome the un-burnt hydrocarbons that created for CARB here in the states.

What about a 270?

Eww

 

[TreeLife]

They are both turds stock. People who start using ported saws to fell timber with never are happy with stock saws again.

This is accurate. Going from a stock saw to a ported saw when the saw is making you your money is a big improvement.

I am no fan of the 5 series Husqvarna saws, but it sounds like something is up with that 550. My 550 is strong now that it no longer has leaking transfer seals, or a leaking intake boot, and a new AT-12 carb.[emoji15]

OK seriously though it actually runs crazy strong! it just took awhile to get it there[emoji19]

 

[Lightning Performance]

OK. So 572 has smaller bore, bigger stroke. And 462 has bigger bore, smaller stroke.
Should be interesting to see how all this works out.

462 should rev a tad higher, 572 should have a tad more torque.

Nope. That won't work out likely you think. It depends on where the ports and intake trac are tuned to run.

 

[TreeLife]

You mean a 73xx, right?

No, I meant 7900. Cmon! These two advanced auto tuning quad port saws should easily beat that old saw with a manual carb, right?

The 7900 is quad but I get what you mean

 

[TreeLife]

The 7900 is quad but I get what you mean

Yeah, what I mean is new school vs old school.

 

[huskyboy]

The 7900 is a legend as well... something these new saws aren’t yet

Uhh...yeah, kind of where I'm going with this.
