Stihl MS 462 (ported) vs Husqvarna 572xp (ported)

Quick rematch in dry hard beech between these two new 70cc class saws. Both are woodsported with 8pin rim, same bar and hand filed Stihl 3/8 RSC chain. These saws are dead even in terms of power after porting. It just depends on personal preferences which saw you choose. Yes, the Stihl is 600g lighter, thats a big difference but the Husqvarna has the bigger bearings and bottom end, maybe better for long bar setups over time.

Was in red lake building a powerline in minus 30 everyday, husqs had no issues running the sthils had to have been warming up for them to start, husqs would cold start no problem

I would like to buy a 462 but my dad won’t let me because he doesn’t like supporting companies that are wholly owned by one rich family. He also won’t let me shop at Aldi for the same reason.

[@3vimages471]

Stihl please. When you buy a Stihl the store always fuels up the saw and oils it and then starts it in front of you. Very impressive. Will always buy Stihl for that reason and of course they produce a quality product.

So they're pretty even. Nice to see a good comparison, and someone that knows how to run a saw properly for this type of comparison.

[@MitzvosGolem1]

Poulan would beat them both lol

[@janezdolenc1583]

572 nice sound

[@famasmaster2000]

I just know 1 thing.....I would happily take either one. Good job on both. Great vid ! They are both beasts

[@marvinclark6808]

Husqvarna $ 300.00 less

[@shawnthompson8444]

What saw do you find yourself preferring?

[@jerrylittle8922]

Same chain not equal

[@simonkhayat4937]

I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle

Best Chainsaw comparison videos on KZbin

[@TheSagerider]

Nice video!

[@bradmetcalf7832]

I think they both are good saws. I own a 394XP and a 21R weed eater both run great, not sure on the age of the 394 but I bought the whacker in 1990 and it has taken care of the farm and three rental houses been in shop once. Sold on Husky.

[@jakebradbury4562]

Good to see someone use the same bar and chain really gets me people using a worn out chain to a newer one and compare two saws this test was spot on

[@fordraven5884]

I don't care how many versus videos I seen I still love watching them

[@cbr600rrturbo]

That 462 sounds awesome

[@SuperFuckinator]

Finally I found a chainsaw comparison as I want. Good work! ;)

[@ryanray5533]

Great comparison video!!! Both of those are screamers!! I'd be more than happy with either one of those lol. Thanks for the video!

[@Vivungisport]

They are even. I would choose the lighter saw.
