MS462C - 572XP Comparison

[TreeLife]

@Mastermind which saw do you find is smoother, or has less perceived vibration translated to the user? This is something that matters to me personally

Thanks for the vid Randy, both looked good. While great news for those who want the newest gear out, I'm looking forward to cheaper 461 prices!

That's really not something I'm really sensitive to. To me, a 046 is a smooth saw. Some guys think the rubber AV saws are horrible.....

They both felt great......but I prefer the heft of the Stihl. The 572 feels heavier than it should.

I got no idea what you are asking.

@Mastermind. You said XPG in the video, is it really a heated handle version? That’s a 1/2lb of extra stuff on it then.

i saw a you tube video hotsaw 101 ported a 462cm and he was running a 8 pin with 32"b/c. said it was too much for the saw. so my question i am trying to ask if you will do a video of both 462 and 572 cutting with a 8 pin rim sprocket and a 32"b/c. after you put your magic hand on them?

I like the Husky more, sounds like she's holding more stable and higher in cut rpm.

The clutch cover on the 462 looks very small (weight saving) and both the dogs look like a waste of time.

Those are standard EU dogs and they are always smaller and less effective than what you guys get on saws in other parts of the world.

What he said!

Dolmar FTW.

What these guys say!

Truthfully, I'd like to own and run them all - but Dolmar is all I ever ran to date in my life.

One can see that the test logs are both seasoned/dry, maybe I missed it but what species is the large test log.
The falling cookies didn't look very heavy.

I'd run my PS-7310 against both those saws, win or loose I bet it would be fun!

The 572 I ran felt smoother than the 661 I ran back to back with it. The 661 is quite a smooth saw to begin with...

1/2 pound off the Husky for the heated handle and add 3/4 pound to the $tihl for decent dogs and clutch cover and it is real close then

 

[rocco490]

It just so happens......I have a new Makita 7900.

if you wanted to compare the weight on the 7910 to the other two and throw it in the log with them its cool with me

Yep. I figured about 8 ozs extra weight on the Husky.

No. A 70cc saw ain't designed for a 32" bar.
