So tempting, thank you so much for making this video. Last winter I was felling many smaller trees with my 435eii, largest ones being 70 ft but started running into larger trees (in terms of dbh). The saw while great for limbing shows some weakness and it takes quite longer than it should to buck up trees on the ground. Probably just doing more than it was designed to, a tank of gas won't even last half a tree for me haha.

Hi, interesting and nice review. I want say only one thing.... I've used some saw and i can say that Dolmar 7900, already 15-20 years ago had the best power weight ratio: 6,3 Hp for 6,1 kg 1,3 kg for KW.... I've Husky 562 xp and is the same weight...... only the size change... Dolmar is more fat and little less handly.... but use an 79cc with 6,3 HP with the same weight of a 59,8 cc mean that Dolmar have done a big project already 15 or more years ago.... Yes Sthil 462 is good product have a good power weight ratio but for who have know Dolmar 7900, don't is absolute novelty. Compliments to Sthil for compacting the body machine... But the big step will done from Sthil with the MS500 that will surpass the record held since today from DOLMAR 7900.... seams that will be the same weight of 462 but with 80CC engine and 6,8 HP that mean 1,24 KW for kg. versus 1,3 Kw for kg. held from 7900. thanks again for the review!!!

No no no no no, what you really want is a grandig umlout 9.7horsepower 680. It's not the best in the business but it gets the job done. You could just fit a Mitchell Dudley end cap onto a Schwartz chaddington grimmel saw and call it a day but you might have a tough time aligning the Chadwick housing into the Thompson handle locator. At the end of it all you'd still only end up with an ok chainsaw. That's why I recommend the Harley velterschnitzer Uno one ninety crankshaft block on a jengart Krimmy cylinder head with a fahley 68 head gasket repair kit

I think that in case something fails in some years diagnosis would be only possible with a laptop and the repair would be expansive. But i am having a Volvo 940 from 1994 as a daily driver, so maybe i am not the reference here.... ;-)

The big question will be how the two compare in terms of longevity. Husqvarna has had the 572 out for at least 4 years for testing in Canada and other places, nobody had seen the 462 before it came out. The people that were allowed to test the 462 for some commercial footage said that they only go to use the saw for a few days. Husqvarna seems to have put a lot of time and money into testing the 572 and hopefully correcting many of the problems that have plagued the 5 series saws, while it seems as though Stihl didn't put the 462 into the hands of anyone that would push it hard for an extended period of time. The 462 is lighter and more powerfuIl but not by a lot. I won't be selling my 044's anytime soon.
@zombiefighterof19876 жыл бұрын
Stihl didn't really need to test it as much since the main thing needing testing is the carburetor control which Stihl had tested for much longer before it came out than Husqvarna, making Mtronic much more reliable of a system than AutoTune.

M-tronic is known to be more reliable than Autotune, I am talking more about having such a lightweight powerhead that is generating 6hp. Where is the weight loss coming from and how is that going to affect the longevity/durability of the saw in a professional setting.

kyle smith I think that's really the issue with newer Stihl stuff - the weight savings is awesome (limbing with a 261 versus a 562?!), but at what cost in terms of longevity, which matters for the pro user? Downtime and maintenance costs add up when you are not just running a couple of saws, cutting firewood (although it matters for someone doing that as well, but for different reasons).
