Tornado cleanup - Dayton, OH - MS500i - MS462C (Gutted and Not)

[Wonkydonkey]

That 3rd vid with the 500 by the side of the house, those guys had there fingers in there ears and moved away .. it did seem loud even from here.

Oh what was going on with the 500 when it was in the wood by the truck/car I heard you say is there a rock, it did it twice.

It can certainly be dangerous, but so rewarding!

Those saws are clipping along real good!!!

Got a few questions:

In your opinion, how does the 462 compare to an 044, 460, 372? And how does the 500 compare to an 064, 460, 7900?

You don't have to answer if you don't want to...

hows the fuel consumption with the 500I compared to a 661? I noticed my 462C is thirstier than my 461s

I noticed that too with the 462. Not sure if it’s fuel consumption related or just the fuel tank being small in an attempt to save weight.

There's no way I couldn't answer that without running them side by side. I don't run them enough.

I have no idea. I haven't run a 661 in a couple years and only have a tank or two on this 500i.

Take care not to take opinions to the bank without proof. Unless said variables have been tested side by side, it means little to nothing. Perception is greater than reality.

Old post but I like that line that "perception is greater than reality." I like the whole post. Way too many people get their ego involved. Great when an objective evaluation can be given but often it is ego or business interest that slant and corrupt evaluations.

More often than that it is simply the beer goggles.

I sent Brad a text a few days ago, and never received a reply. Has anyone heard from him recently?

 

[MustangMike]

For about a week now, I was planning on asking you the same question!

What about Brett Carter?

What about Brett Carter?

Brett is in Hodgenville, which is central/north central Kentucky near Louisville, so I think he's ok. Him and Jeremy (Wigglesworth) were the first two people I thought about when hearing about the tornado.

I texted Wiggs. They are all well.

I wrote him messages here and at AS.
He responded after 1 or 2 days at AS.
So maybe he is more on the dark side
