if the 462 retails around $1100 and I cant get it for significantly less I will buy a 7910 or 565/572. they need to be price competitive I already bought a 7910 over a 461 specifically because of the price difference. really liked the 461 but I couldn't justify to myself spending hundreds more for it vs the dolmar/Makita 7910 price/value matters to me

That thing torn down yet?

no

Maybe US will be like Russia and get a non M-tron version.

some of these guys just need to go back to using a cross cut. light, not as noisy, easy on fuel, gas gaps don't fall off, cheaper, sounds like what there looking for to me.

I get what your saying but a little more to it than that for me. I have had some saws let me down because of the electronics. I like technology BUT it has to work every time anything less and I would rather do without it there are plenty of great running saws without it. Not being able to start my saw halfway threw a job doesn't exactly make it more productive even if it was cutting really good up until then

What percentage gains do you get out of your ported, cross cut saws?

You mean if you pay 1000 dollars for a chainsaw it's supposed to run all the time ?

There's a huge stack/pile of take outs ties, not far from me, just sitting and rotting away...

Get crackin

 

[Intoxsawcated]

I wonder how long it will take before someone junks the computer stuff on the 572 and fabs a 288 or 394 cylinder on....

I haven't seen a saw yet that doesn't break down, unless it never gets used.

that depends on the guy i'm standing behind holding it.

I got to see our regional sales rep and he said the 461 is going to coexist with the 462.

Did he lie to us?

I would say there is no way to know right now. Did he have a release date for the 462? I haven’t seen any reliable dates for US yet.

In Europe the 461 had a very short run aferter the release of the 462 before it was delisted.

He said 1st quarter of 2019..but I might get one in October.

That’s what the rep said here too

...and even then there's no reasonable expectation of it running after a long sit without having to dicker with something or other.

Do you still have a 372 to compare to it?

I have a 346, ported 562, stock 372, and a stock 6400c is my running saws at the moment. 460 needs a crank and the 660 I don’t know what it’s deal is. But I’ve only run maybe 3 gallons of saw gas this year. I’ve not had time to cut and saws have been way down on the importance this year.
