Great job to both of you. I don’t understand the negative comment as towards Anne. I give her HUGE credit for trying out the larger cc saws. She was instructed by Chris and she will improve for sure. Guys, relax! Ask any professional arborist, using a saw is always a learning experience. NOBODY was born knowing anything, we all learn! Great work Ann, keep it up! Have a great day, both of you!
So true Michael. The value of hands on experience, having access to good mentors, and the humble willingness to learn from anyone is critically important to our learning curve. It also looked to me that Ann Marie and Chris have different optimal work height. So lowering the log to hip height for her cuts would’ve made it better for her. Great interaction guys.
The great thing about learning every one starts at the beginning. Doesn’t matter who we all start at the beginning. I started with an old home lite zip with a manual oiler when I was about 10 the saw weighed about as much as I did. Keep on cutting
Great video, two good personalities! I too started with the homelite but had the xl with auto oiler, I never was good at remembering to press the oiler👨🏻🦳
Cutting, I usually only do a pickup load at a time. Splitting, I swing the maul til I'm tired. Sometimes it's only 15-20 mins but I still have all my toes.
Ann is a tough woman I'm impressed by her drive to arborist work, so cool. Great job in showing her how to use her hip It. It seemed to me that she handled the Stihl better. I have the 572 and i love it I'm thinking of getting a 462 .
Never thought watching in the Wood Yard would also be a good place to learn kinesiology, fractional assery, first aid tips and field wound dressing. Thanks professor Carlson and Ann Marie🪵
You are welcome. Chris is teaching all the things in life we need to know that we did not get in Kindergarten. Patience, Kindness, Share Your Gifts, etc.
@@annmariekowalski7505 Chris’ efforts and platform on UA-cam are certainly useful to that end, but so too are the efforts each of us can make in sharing our hard earned knowledge; tips, tricks, and tools; along with a general willingness to help others out. Keep serving others where you are🪵😁
G’morning Chris and Ann-Marie. Nice to see a visitor with a properly running 73cc saw. Hahaha. Nice to run a few different saws. The ‘92 is a KING. Good lessons. GoodNightIrene
OK, before the poison arrows start flying about skill, gender, strength etc. send me your links where you do something for the very first time for the entire world to see. I know my resume. You do not. As I said, I never did this evolution before. When you started were you a picture of perfection? Why I never did this before, because I knew I did not know what I was doing. I never cut backwards off of a grapple. Why did I do this, to help someone else learn from my experience. There is no better person to teach this than Chris. So for the haters, shpw your face on your channel so the world can see how strong and perfect you are as you slam me while sitting on the toilet. This is not about atrength, this is about using your body to your advantage and build upon what you learn. At least I tried. Be sure to wash your hands.
We're not ragging on you because of your skill level. The bottom up cut was scary. We have seen kickbacks and push backs. I have a 18 year old. We're trying to teach to cut. I wouldn't give him a 17 pound high torq saw to make a cut.. I allow him to make a specific cut . I tell him exactly how I want him to shuffle around the log and the brush. How the branches are going to pinch. My 12.3 pound saw is still to much for him. . He need s a little 45 to 50cc saw, with maybe a safety chain for a year or 2. And I still wouldn't give him a 60 cc saw. You were playing with a 70 and a 90cc saw. That is a race car, when you just started driving. You were a firefighter, what experience level driver do you cut out of a wreck and have to notify the parents? I wouldn't of let you or asked you to try to make that first cut up in the air.
I have to admit at the beginning you were one of the worst cutters I have seen but with a bit of instruction towards the end I could see the improvement and you were getting out and trying something you would not see most women even attempt, not to make this a gender war but I have seen some other male guest appearances on this channel that were just as sketchy and some even scarier. Will Ann ever be the next Paul Bunyan or even a Chris I doubt it as she would have to make up for Chris's 45 year headstart but she is at least trying and learning as she goes. Ann if you can do a 2 1/2" full flow by yourself kudos as I would need backup or 2 or throw a ground loop and sit on it.
Another thing I noticed early in the video and was addressed towards the end of the video the grapple height was not doing any favors for Ann and to a lesser extend for Chris as he is a might bit taller. chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin or peanut butter never seen a cookie I did not like.😁
Ann your kick back concerns are real and should be, the most dangerous is the kick up which generally occurs and most dangerous around the radius of the bar tip and to 45degrees on either side of the center of the tip if one considers that the chain is moving in a downward direction as it goes around the tip of the bar creating a kickback if the tip contacts anything be it the wood you are cutting or contacting something beyond such as cutting in a pile or while limbing. Chainsaws are DANGEROUS and should be handled with respect.
I’ve run a 462 and 572 a good bit equally and I prefer the 572 simply because it’s been trouble free where the 462 hasn’t. I love both but I believe the 572 will be the longer lasting saw.
Great educational video Chris. A lot of people out there have no idea of the difference between a homeowner saw and a pro saw especially in the big cc class I was no exception when I started 5 years ago. Great Job Anne-Marie love your positive outlook and safety mindset cheers 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
I usually resist responding to comments, pro or con, relative to Ann Marie's occasional social media exposure. I'm aware that I have an unfettered bias toward the lady built on my 42year exposure to her drive, talent, perseverance, capabilities and honored accomplishments displayed in her many fields of endeavor. That having been said, today I'm going to make an exception to this practice. First, while this current series of videos are appearing over a span of several days, Ann's and Chris' lack of wardrobe change is a giveaway that they are in fact being shot in one day. Being the spouse of this workaholic woman of 63, it has become necessary that I learned to read Ann's physical indicators. They are telling me this: as her color changes from pink, through red, to magenta, she is overheating despite usually good hydration practices. Her sentence structures interrupted for breathing tells me she should be using her inhaler. Might be the increased evergreens "up nort", exposure to alien food cross contaminations with change of locale, or the stress of the moment while acquiring new skills and her unrelenting drive to excel. Second, this is one of the most physically strong women I have ever known. She muscles through where many men will fail. She will take to heart Chris' excellent advice and instruction, practice and utilize the techniques discussed, and continue to improve long after this video session is concluded. I know her earliest exposure to chainsaw operation was, as mentioned somewhere in these comments, their use in ventilating the roof of burning buildings where finesse was paramount while using a saw typically in the MS271 18" Farm Boss range. Further, she does recognize when to call it a day, unless shooting video of one of Chris' easier days . So, enough from a retired 80-year-old former deputy fire chief, military superintendent of maintenance and/or operations/ first sergeant, ISFSI life member, NFPA code committee member, fire/ems service instructor, college level fire science instructor/ educator, graduate electrical engineer and a real good judge of physiology, character, and training skill education activities. Ann and Chris are both displaying mega amounts of these assets. There, I didn't have to display too much personal bias to post my opinions. Thanks for reading.
Well said my good man! Let your better half know that we need some thick skin here on the tube when dealing with the youshoulders and the self proclaimed total knowitalls! Haaaa!
My preferred amount of cutting in a day is two tanks of fuel in the saws. It leaves gas in my tank to chuck and stack the wood. I've found that atacking the rounds now takes a little more energy than stacking them up but it saves a serious amount of energy when you go to split. And splitting with the rounds stacked up neatly really speeds up that part of the firewood process.
I just watched buckins long bar video this morning, and someone in the comments had a GREAT tip. If you have forward exhaust, like i think all stock saws have, and you run the saw on the dogs all day, you're heating the saw uneccesarily. The exhaust is going straight into the log and being reflected back at the saw. If you back off a little, the exhaust can dissipate into the air.
That is correct. Just don’t pay any attention to him saying Fir is thought grain wood. Anything you can cut and then easily split by hand..is pulp wood. Pine and fir cut like paper compared to oak or any hardwood I promise you. You will not go cut some red oak. And then proceed to split it by hand… won’t happen 😂
Ann Marie is quite the trooper! She’s right when she says that there are good takeaways from Chris’s woodyard and I like how UA-cam makes that possible. My biggest takeaway will be to ground my saw better to my body to reduce the strength needed to hold it up. I think the result will be to better let the saw travel though the wood and less of my effort.
When I use my 390xp with the 36in bar i find myself doing the rest on leg and lean back. If cutting thru and its going to pinch down if you start pulling bar in and out it will widen the cut and allow the top to pinch shut and not pinch your bar. That also works well when you forget to bring your wedges.
Any worthy comparison would have the same chain on each saw. Same bar length, etc. The rakers were probably in need of filing on the Husky. Apples to grapes comparison.
Great video Chris- There is no need to be negative, everyone starts somewhere and we can all learn something. A lot of unfortunate people showing their true colors today.
I feel bad for them. They are unfortunate because they did not have the adventure and experience that I had. It goes like this. I am not going to try it. you try it. I am not going to try it. I know, let's get AK, she will try anything. And that is how you learn. Next time I come up, I will bring headsets. That way we can talk to each other while I am learning. Just like the processor. it all looks so simple.
IAM thinking my next saw will be in the 550 or 261 size range , they seem to do well at everything . Along with a bigger saw you have the bases covered . But that just me !
You aren't kidding about the decibels! I forgot to put my earphones on to cut one last round the other day, and the blast of noise from the 291 was ridiculous. Making it worse was a log pile in front of me, and a woodline behind- like a natural amplifier! Won't make that mistake again.
Good work Chris. 572 & 462 are pretty similar I'd say. 592 is a whole nuther animal. She would have performed the up cut faster with both saws, but missed a shift and over reved both saws. Looks like you two are having fun and making movies. GNI
She was at a height disadvantage, the dang log was too high for fast easy cutting. A little less safe too. She would need Swartzenegger deltoids and trapezius to handle saws above 'belly high'. Or a good dose of spinach!! The ear muffs are used at Lake Woebegone Int'l Airport for hearing protection up past 105 db. I'd say you don't need to stick the foam in your ear. At some point of noise, you're gonna get more sound waves thru your bones. Cotton balls and foam stoppers don't help much then! Any sustained loud noise, esp., I think, above 84db (?), will cause some hearing loss. Adds up, over a few years. Then it's trouble: "You don't listen to me! You've got 'selective' hearing!! You can sleep on the couch tonight!!!" Don't ask me how I know that. Must be the neighbors!
@@heymakerphd1982 I thought there were some studies that indicated that muff type hearing protection do not work as well as first thought as they sit on the bones and can actually transmit sound thru the bone, both muff and plugs come in differing dB ratings. OSHA acceptable limits are based on exposure time as well as dBs.
My first saw was a wild thing poulan 40cc 18bar. 10 years or so ago, then I got a husqvarna 460 rancher with a 24 bar so much better saw and they weigh close to the same lol but then it was getting heavy for normal to small cutting. So I got a dewalt 20v battery with a 12 bar for limbs and I love that saw for what it is! But 2 years ago I got a Husqvarna 545 mark II xp 20 bar with x-cut chain and I love that saw best one yet faster,lighter and uses less fuel than the 460 by a long shot. But now I want a 592 with a big bar and a 20 bar to play with for my newly formed wood business. I also would like to mess around with making some slabs out of all the wood I have in front of me. I've used the 460 with an Alaskan mill and it's OK but it needs more power and a bigger bar than a 24! Great video as always and great look at the different brands of saws I'll stick with my Husqvarna 😉😉😁😁😁
Thanks, i currently have a 562 xp. The saw came with .058 gauge, i am planning on switching to .050 because there are way more options for chains here in north east kansas. Love you videos and starting to get my inventory up to sell wood next year!
ty for vid, some great stuff. Time on first 3x cookies by Chris: Stihl 462 close to 18 sec Husky 572 close to 23 sec The discussion on chain sharpness differences accounts for this well I think. *Nice* to see 2 similar saws doing same cut by consistent experienced cutter, ty. Never seen my stihl 291 fuel or oil caps leak. The fuel caps are critical fire and explosion hazard parts of all chain saws. Claiming these are faulty on any brand of saw is a big claim. I have not seen or heard anyone else talking of any saws having leaking fuel caps. It’s a maxim that claims require sufficient substance and those without it should be held as unsubstantiated with the burden on the one making the claim. Good Morning Peace-Irene
@@InTheWoodyard Hi Chris, ty for your reply. That being the case it is a serious matter - a fire and explosion risk factor. I will pass on your witness testimony to Dr. Jürgen Hoffmann, Director Product Certification & Regulatory Affairs. He signed off on the 500i instruction manual I downloaded. (I wonder if he signed off at the end of your USA purchased one?) Anyway it would be cool if you get paid to make chainsaws safer through some collaboration. When you finish with 'Goodnight Irene' I assume Irene is someone close and it's a private thing between you and likely known by some like Tony etc. It is possible that a small portion that use hidden in plain sight communication, may interpret this as something like lights out to peace i.e. a declaration of war. In context this would be business war and as you are very solidly and powerfully building many facets of a well founded and energetic business ... you could be seen as one knowledgeable in ancient philosophical knowledge used to found and control much of western (now global) society. It is normal for those in a society to imbibe and become aligned and actively use the inner fundamentals of that society, this is unconscious in most. This could be much of the essential you, though in various ways unconscious. I’m sure you know that fear is a very powerful motivator that can create and prevent sales. In educational neuroscience dangerous things are the most likely to get our attention and consideration and to be remembered and influence action. (Source: David A Sousa, how the brain learns, 4th edition and my own experience/observations) Saying Stihl fuel caps leak associates Stihl with flammable explosive danger. To cover yourself while communicating important knowledge like this, I suggest giving more details that explain why the fuel caps were leaking. The only reason in this video I remember is that they were Stihl fuel caps. The most common forms of disinformation involve *exclusionary detailing.* I think Stihl would be justified in requesting this video be removed for disinformation potentially creating fear of Stihl chainsaws as fire/explosion hazards. But far more importantly, I’m sure all good honest people like you would never want to disadvantage others by creating fear unfairly. Anyway if you're interested to discuss anything further, we can dialogue etc as we choose. A little fun. 3 fundamental pillars of firewood business. #1 - The person(s) - their physical and mental skills/tools #1 - Quality wood #1 - People wanting their wood. Like all tripods, the wider, stronger and better founded all of the #1’s - the higher and bigger the structure can be and remain stable. Interestingly, the person must have quality wood before others can know about it and want it. So Although a #1 like the others ... *in the sensible and rational order of reality, people wanting your wood can only come after you have wood.* So #1, #1 and #1 above are in a true to natural causality order. (or are they?) The laws/ways of nature rule and govern all things, the better we know and align our thinking and doing with them, the more the rule and power of nature in our lives and living. We are a part of nature so when we connect with other parts of it we are connecting with the stuff of our essence. Perhaps this is why it feels good to be physically and mentally active while directly interacting with natural reality. A fun poke, please enjoy. I’m sorry, but if you want to be true to natural reality and it’s causality, you’re going to have to align yourself with the #1’s above and it’s not my fault the laws of nature make this true … having a little grin, now the question is, will you be able to say customers are number one with as much certainty and confidence after the time necessary to consider this and for cognitive change? Incidentally if your mind finds it to be true, you might not be able to stop it from eventually changing. Our minds have a mind of their own. Concerning firewood business: In the natural order of things it seems you and those with you are the first #1, quality wood is the second #1 while customers combine only after these to complete a tripod of #1’s. One structure, three legs, understandable in objective reality. While you've taken years to develop a firewood business I've had the opportunity and some resources and time to do a lot of thinking. The mind, like the physical body gets stronger and more skilled with use and practice and interactions. If anything above stirs your interest I'm happy to share what I think I know etc. Cheers Chris sincerely david
@@InTheWoodyard Hi Chris I came across an example of you seeing a "leaky" Stihl cap but it wasn’t. The cap merely sealed so well that pressure could build up inside the fuel tank and when Tony showed you the lift and 1/4 turn, the out-rush of pressured air and fumes pushed some fuel out around the cap, soon after you called it a leaky cap. Vid: #325 - Stihl MS 500i - Saw Test and Comparisons Link at that time. ua-cam.com/video/6hl5ZFyPyy8/v-deo.html I have seen what you did, lots of times. It is not seeing a leaky petrol cap but one air and gas tight under enough petrol tank pressure to blow some out as the cap is opened. I will contact Stihl Product Certification & Regulatory Affairs again to let them know it seems you have not actually seen leaky Stihl caps but call a solid seal having a small amount of fuel blow out from normal pressure ... a leaky cap. I just have to sigh, shake my head and put it down the fact that many just don't know how to communicate accurately. sincerely david
Does Ann Marie have a channel Chris? She impresses me for an older lady using a big saw like the 462. She has areas to improve in but I think the log was a little high for her as well. I put a full wrap on my 572 and it is going to be my new main saw, I run a 28" bar and cut mostly douglas fir out here in Montana. I am seriously thinking of getting another one like for backup like you use them.
@@annmariekowalski7505 Thanks and keep up the hard work I am impressed, if you do decide to get some videos up and running please put the word out would love to watch!
i think both those saws are in an in-between zone....in between big saw and mid size saw id rather run a 400c or 562 in wood that, then i skip that size and have a bunch of 88 cc plus saws for bigger stuff....i enjoyed watching and confirmed my way of doing stuff to me thanks
Hey bud, I love Husqvarna's, I own 2 and thinking about a third. I'm thinking about buying a 572 xp, what's the going rate, my local retailer is asking $ 1298, is that reasonable?
There is an argument that old chains have a slightly narrower kerf. If you remove less width in the cut you may cut a little faster. A very fit person can produce about 400 watts (old fat person like me a lot less) even a small saw will be a handful if you try and fight it.
Just started watching your videos the last couple days Chris. Love your channel. You seem like such a great guy and hard worker. Learning stuff from you already. I’m thinking about selling some firewood and you are a inspiration. I believe people that work hard get rewarded. Also Ann and Tony seem like great people
Nice job on the video and some great info! Might have been a good moment to talk/learn about throttle control also? I feel so many people do just fine with 40-50cc saw class, but the bigger/heavy saws are just to much. They come across their first big rounds or tree down and go buy a huge saw because they want to slice through it in one cut. The dealers only have long bars on big cc saws. The average person can just buy a longer bar for their 40-50cc saw and it will not hurt anything cutting up the occasional large diameter wood. It may take a little longer but would be much safer then big ole boat anchor the dealer just suckered them into! The average homeowner has no business with a 70cc or up saw without training.IMO Just speaking in general and not in reference to Ms. Ann. She has obviously researched and respects what she has purchased. It would be no different then a gun dealer selling a first time buyer a 44 Magnum pistol to carry...or a car dealer selling a kid with his permit a Ferrari!👍
For me there is a substantial difference in ergos and feel. I am a bigger guy with large hands and the Stihl handles and trigger feel too small for me. I like the thicker diameter of the 572XP handles and trigger feel. The Husky also has less vibration when cutting than the Stihl and better balance. The Stihl has a bit more throttle response and oomph up top and is a pound or so lighter, but that's the only difference. Reliability is about equal. The Husky can be had on sale for as little as $900 at some shops while the Stihl is $1340 and up. Is slightly lighter and the Stihl name worth $400+? You decide.
Love the channel. So really, the 462 smoked the 572 by like two seconds. In 7 seconds, that's huge. You did a comparison, it has a new chain and the 572 has an old one? What? The Stihl smoked it. Really Huskey fan boy. lol Great channel. I might buy the 572 because it is 300 bones cheaper that the 462 right now.
Anne Marie did great despite the log being a bit high for her height. None of us were born knowing this stuff, we all had to learn as we went. And I might say as a WI native, it's nice to hear people speak with the proper pronunciation.
Both are dandy saws but I’m a husky guy, over 40years of being in or around the logging business I’ve had better luck out of the husky’s, now this is just my experience, and I’m lucky I got a stihl and husky dealer 20 minutes from home
@@annmariekowalski7505 : Your welcome.. I guess I just don't understand some and how we all forget at times that we were there once too..

@@DanielAtkinsFirewood At least you are thinking about it. That is 99 percent part of the solution. Have empathy. Oh and talking louder and more forceful does not make anyone smarter.

Good Afternoon Stanley. Indoor recess today. Canning vegetables for winter. Might have to call Hire A Hunk to screw the rings on the canning jars. Oh I am feeling the vapors.
I at one time cut 5 days a week all day long. I stop cutting all the time so I felt stupid. I'm 5'3" and I'm at around 130 lbs. Let the saw work don't work the saw. Wish I could again.
You are so right. Since Richard Simmons went into the witness protection program it has been all down hill for me. I will dig out my Daisy Dukes and Sports Bra stuffed with wood shavings and get back into it. My daily workout with PBS Sit and Be Fit Program might not be right. I did not notice your Personal Trainer Certification Creds behind your name. Where did you study? The teachable moment was to use the muscles of the hips. The hip bone is connected to the leg bone.......I think there is a song that gives the Dr. Suess version of Anatomy.
I have 9 saws, saws from them all. I have Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, Makita, RedMax just a red Husqvarna, a couple old Homelite and John Deere. I prefer Stihl but a lot of that is because their dealers are everywhere here. Between here and home in SC I have a Stihl dealer within 10 min of home and not many Husqvarna dealers. I know the 1 Husqvarna dealer I know of here the guy is a real asshole and has treated me really poorly when I have been in there. I was there because I had a brand new RedMax that I bought online that had the oiler broken in the box brand new. Figured there should be a warranty so I went in. Guy told me I should have bought the orange version of the same saw from him. I ended up just buying an oiler and installing it. I would have just returned the saw but I didn't want to pay shipping and all to send it back. It pissed me off so much I haven't even used the saw. I had it 2 years now its still brand new in my garage never put oil or gas in it. Its a top handle saw that has a rear handle. I wanted something real nice and light and have always thought these saws were cool. I think its a GZ360 think the model is but Husqvarna has the identical saw just orange instead of red they are just one of the top handles that has a rear handle instead of top.
Good, Bad, or Ugly, I am blessed to have had the opportunity to use it. To be invited to The Wood Yard, to use Chris's Tools and spend the day with someone who pours his heart out while he shares his knowledge is a once in a life time experience. Not all Angels wear wings. Some have pink tape on their equipment.
Hello Chris baby how have you been doing have you been doing lot of cutting wood take care Chris baby tell your wife I said hello God bless your family text me back
Let the saw do the work slow down on the caffeine good lord un needed abuse on that great saw. Poor thing just pinned the go button wide open the kick back on that saw would be awful need to crawl before ya walk. Way to much skinny pedal.
Take those saws away from her, she isn't strong enough for the power head weight. When you start rocking the bar in the wood like she was. It's a sign of having a bur on the bar or it's dull. I picked up my first husky 562, it blows my Stihl 361 out of the water on speed
Great job to both of you. I don’t understand the negative comment as towards Anne. I give her HUGE credit for trying out the larger cc saws. She was instructed by Chris and she will improve for sure.
Guys, relax! Ask any professional arborist, using a saw is always a learning experience. NOBODY was born knowing anything, we all learn!
Great work Ann, keep it up! Have a great day, both of you!
Well said!
👍👍
Thank You Michael.
So true Michael. The value of hands on experience, having access to good mentors, and the humble willingness to learn from anyone is critically important to our learning curve.
It also looked to me that Ann Marie and Chris have different optimal work height. So lowering the log to hip height for her cuts would’ve made it better for her. Great interaction guys.
The great thing about learning every one starts at the beginning. Doesn’t matter who we all start at the beginning. I started with an old home lite zip with a manual oiler when I was about 10 the saw weighed about as much as I did. Keep on cutting
Thanks Brian!
Thanks Brian. I am 63 years old with the goal of learning something new every day.
@@annmariekowalski7505 Me too 1959, just a kid at heart and every day is a new adventure hope to never quit learning.
Great video, two good personalities! I too started with the homelite but had the xl with auto oiler, I never was good at remembering to press the oiler👨🏻🦳
Cutting, I usually only do a pickup load at a time. Splitting, I swing the maul til I'm tired. Sometimes it's only 15-20 mins but I still have all my toes.
Having fingers and toes is a good thing!
To be honest..... that height of the log was too high for her.... she was disadvantaged regardless of how she held the saw.
Yup, it was to high for ME!!!
LMAO at the silent shot of all three saws jiggling like jello calmly on the ground.
Jello is very noisy.
Thanks!!
Best way to learn is hands on and being willing to take some constructive criticism. Another great video!
Yup!
Ann is a tough woman I'm impressed by her drive to arborist work, so cool. Great job in showing her how to use her hip It. It seemed to me that she handled the Stihl better. I have the 572 and i love it I'm thinking of getting a 462 .
Yup, nice person and good saws!

Morning! Thanks!!
Thank You
Nice Comparison of STIHl vs Husqvana, what matters they work and they can cut wood as long as the saws are sharp,
yes!
OK, before the poison arrows start flying about skill, gender, strength etc. send me your links where you do something for the very first time for the entire world to see.
I know my resume. You do not.
As I said, I never did this evolution before. When you started were you a picture of perfection?
Why I never did this before, because I knew I did not know what I was doing. I never cut backwards off of a grapple.
Why did I do this, to help someone else learn from my experience. There is no better person to teach this than Chris.
So for the haters, shpw your face on your channel so the world can see how strong and perfect you are as you slam me while sitting on the toilet.
This is not about atrength, this is about using your body to your advantage and build upon what you learn.
At least I tried. Be sure to wash your hands.
We're not ragging on you because of your skill level. The bottom up cut was scary. We have seen kickbacks and push backs. I have a 18 year old. We're trying to teach to cut. I wouldn't give him a 17 pound high torq saw to make a cut.. I allow him to make a specific cut . I tell him exactly how I want him to shuffle around the log and the brush. How the branches are going to pinch. My 12.3 pound saw is still to much for him. . He need s a little 45 to 50cc saw, with maybe a safety chain for a year or 2. And I still wouldn't give him a 60 cc saw. You were playing with a 70 and a 90cc saw. That is a race car, when you just started driving.
You were a firefighter, what experience level driver do you cut out of a wreck and have to notify the parents? I wouldn't of let you or asked you to try to make that first cut up in the air.
I have to admit at the beginning you were one of the worst cutters I have seen but with a bit of instruction towards the end I could see the improvement and you were getting out and trying something you would not see most women even attempt, not to make this a gender war but I have seen some other male guest appearances on this channel that were just as sketchy and some even scarier. Will Ann ever be the next Paul Bunyan or even a Chris I doubt it as she would have to make up for Chris's 45
year headstart but she is at least trying and learning as she goes. Ann if you can do a 2 1/2" full flow by yourself kudos as I would need backup or 2 or throw a ground loop and sit on it.
Good Job- We all have to start somewhere. Life is one big learning experience.
Another thing I noticed early in the video and was addressed towards the end of the video the grapple height was not doing any favors for Ann and to a lesser extend for Chris as he is a might bit taller. chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin or peanut butter never seen a cookie I did not like.😁
Ann your kick back concerns are real and should be, the most dangerous is the kick up which generally occurs and most dangerous around the radius of the bar tip and to 45degrees on either side of the center of the tip if one considers that the chain is moving in a downward direction as it goes around the tip of the bar creating a kickback if the tip contacts anything be it the wood you are cutting or contacting something beyond such as cutting in a pile or while limbing. Chainsaws are DANGEROUS and should be handled with respect.
I’ve run a 462 and 572 a good bit equally and I prefer the 572 simply because it’s been trouble free where the 462 hasn’t. I love both but I believe the 572 will be the longer lasting saw.
good to hear!
Great educational video Chris. A lot of people out there have no idea of the difference between a homeowner saw and a pro saw especially in the big cc class I was no exception when I started 5 years ago. Great Job Anne-Marie love your positive outlook and safety mindset cheers 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
Thank You. It means the world to me.
Exactly!
Pick up my new MS 462 today!
Goes with my 576 XP Ol faithful!
nice saws!
Sweet. Congrats.
still like it?
I usually resist responding to comments, pro or con, relative to Ann Marie's occasional social media exposure. I'm aware that I have an unfettered bias toward the lady built on my 42year exposure to her drive, talent, perseverance, capabilities and honored accomplishments displayed in her many fields of endeavor. That having been said, today I'm going to make an exception to this practice.
First, while this current series of videos are appearing over a span of several days, Ann's and Chris' lack of wardrobe change is a giveaway that they are in fact being shot in one day. Being the spouse of this workaholic woman of 63, it has become necessary that I learned to read Ann's physical indicators. They are telling me this: as her color changes from pink, through red, to magenta, she is overheating despite usually good hydration practices. Her sentence structures interrupted for breathing tells me she should be using her inhaler. Might be the increased evergreens "up nort", exposure to alien food cross contaminations with change of locale, or the stress of the moment while acquiring new skills and her unrelenting drive to excel.
Second, this is one of the most physically strong women I have ever known. She muscles through where many men will fail. She will take to heart Chris' excellent advice and instruction, practice and utilize the techniques discussed, and continue to improve long after this video session is concluded. I know her earliest exposure to chainsaw operation was, as mentioned somewhere in these comments, their use in ventilating the roof of burning buildings where finesse was paramount while using a saw typically in the MS271 18" Farm Boss range. Further, she does recognize when to call it a day, unless shooting video of one of Chris' easier days
.
So, enough from a retired 80-year-old former deputy fire chief, military superintendent of maintenance and/or operations/ first sergeant, ISFSI life member, NFPA code committee member, fire/ems service instructor, college level fire science instructor/ educator, graduate electrical engineer and a real good judge of physiology, character, and training skill education activities. Ann and Chris are both displaying mega amounts of these assets. There, I didn't have to display too much personal bias to post my opinions.
Thanks for reading.
Well said my good man! Let your better half know that we need some thick skin here on the tube when dealing with the youshoulders and the self proclaimed total knowitalls! Haaaa!
@@InTheWoodyard My birthday is coming up. I am asking for some Truck Nuts.
Thanks Chris.
this is my favorite video so far. Thanks for taking the time explain what your doing for newer woods people.
You just warmed my heart and I shed a tear or two.
Good luck in your endeavors.
Thanks!
My preferred amount of cutting in a day is two tanks of fuel in the saws. It leaves gas in my tank to chuck and stack the wood. I've found that atacking the rounds now takes a little more energy than stacking them up but it saves a serious amount of energy when you go to split. And splitting with the rounds stacked up neatly really speeds up that part of the firewood process.
Thanks for sharing, firewood is work anyway it is done!
@@InTheWoodyard, is easier to stack the rounds in small batches, like run a tank and stack the rounds, especially smaller rounds.
I would think Buckin' Billy Ray Smith would be among the few pro loggers who teaches how to use a power saw on youtube.
Yup, he knows his stuff!
I just watched buckins long bar video this morning, and someone in the comments had a GREAT tip. If you have forward exhaust, like i think all stock saws have, and you run the saw on the dogs all day, you're heating the saw uneccesarily. The exhaust is going straight into the log and being reflected back at the saw. If you back off a little, the exhaust can dissipate into the air.
That is correct. Just don’t pay any attention to him saying Fir is thought grain wood. Anything you can cut and then easily split by hand..is pulp wood. Pine and fir cut like paper compared to oak or any hardwood
I promise you. You will not go cut some red oak. And then proceed to split it by hand… won’t happen 😂
@@EcSsAwS I call bs. I do it all the time
👍🏻🪵
Well done. Ann Marie’s 462 was rippin!! Great school on cutting Chris. Letting the saw do the work was the best advice. 👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Thanks Todd!
Bout to get me a Stihl 400. Need to step up from my 251 for these 30+ inch oaks I been cutting.
Hey John. If you're cutting 30" oak I'd really really advise the 500i ... take a look at it.
@@stihlnz Or if you want a saw without leaky caps and poor air filtration get a 592XP.😊
nice saw!
me too!
HA! Yup, that is true!
Congrats ITW/Chris on teaching LT Ann Marie the better way of cutting logs. Nice to see you both working together.
Thanks 👍
Thank You
Captain Chris saved the day.
Ann Marie is quite the trooper! She’s right when she says that there are good takeaways from Chris’s woodyard and I like how UA-cam makes that possible. My biggest takeaway will be to ground my saw better to my body to reduce the strength needed to hold it up. I think the result will be to better let the saw travel though the wood and less of my effort.
Thanks !!
Both great brands of saws....I have a Stihl & Husky, of mine, my favorite is the MS461
Good choice!
When I use my 390xp with the 36in bar i find myself doing the rest on leg and lean back. If cutting thru and its going to pinch down if you start pulling bar in and out it will widen the cut and allow the top to pinch shut and not pinch your bar. That also works well when you forget to bring your wedges.
Yup, a wedge is good to use.
Any worthy comparison would have the same chain on each saw. Same bar length, etc. The rakers were probably in need of filing on the Husky. Apples to grapes comparison.
Yup!
Damn guys it’s all learning, go easy. Great video.
Thanks Kirk!
Looks like some powerful saws
They cut!
Some great teaching moments in this video. Love your videos every morning look forward to them every day.
Thanks!
Her willingness to listen to safety is her attribute and she's not done learning .
Yup, Ann Marie is a great person!
The 572 is my favorite saw
It is a good one, I like my 592 a lot!
Power aside, which saw would you believe is more durable and would expect to last longer?
I do not know???
The Stihl by a long shot
@@stihl3826don’t be a fan boy. They are both good saws
Always a learning experience. Thanks for the information.
You bet!
Great video Chris- There is no need to be negative, everyone starts somewhere and we can all learn something. A lot of unfortunate people showing their true colors today.
Yup, they are out there!
I feel bad for them. They are unfortunate because they did not have the adventure and experience that I had.
It goes like this. I am not going to try it. you try it.
I am not going to try it. I know, let's get AK, she will try anything.
And that is how you learn.
Next time I come up, I will bring headsets. That way we can talk to each other while I am learning.

Thanks!
Good morning Chris and Ann Marie!!😀😀
Good Morning Logger Al.
Hello there Sir AL! I Hope all is well!
whats the best husk and sthil saw i could buy looking for 72 122cc saw
I like my 592 the best!
IAM thinking my next saw will be in the 550 or 261 size range , they seem to do well at everything . Along with a bigger saw you have the bases covered . But that just me !
Sounds like a good plan!
You aren't kidding about the decibels! I forgot to put my earphones on to cut one last round the other day, and the blast of noise from the 291 was ridiculous. Making it worse was a log pile in front of me, and a woodline behind- like a natural amplifier!
Won't make that mistake again.
Yup, saws are loud!
Good work Chris. 572 & 462 are pretty similar I'd say. 592 is a whole nuther animal. She would have performed the up cut faster with both saws, but missed a shift and over reved both saws. Looks like you two are having fun and making movies. GNI
Yup, thanks Larry!
She was at a height disadvantage, the dang log was too high for fast easy cutting. A little less safe too. She would need Swartzenegger deltoids and trapezius to handle saws above 'belly high'. Or a good dose of spinach!!
The ear muffs are used at Lake Woebegone Int'l Airport for hearing protection up past 105 db. I'd say you don't need to stick the foam in your ear. At some point of noise, you're gonna get more sound waves thru your bones. Cotton balls and foam stoppers don't help much then! Any sustained loud noise, esp., I think, above 84db (?), will cause some hearing loss. Adds up, over a few years. Then it's trouble: "You don't listen to me! You've got 'selective' hearing!! You can sleep on the couch tonight!!!" Don't ask me how I know that. Must be the neighbors!
@@heymakerphd1982 I thought there were some studies that indicated that muff type hearing protection do not work as well as first thought as they sit on the bones and can actually transmit sound thru the bone, both muff and plugs come in differing dB ratings. OSHA acceptable limits are based on exposure time as well as dBs.
Happy cutting, happy stacking to you all😀
Thanks!
Almost one of the best videos. Chris thank you and Anne for your time and insight on making them.
Thank You for watching.
Thanks Francis!
My first saw was a wild thing poulan 40cc 18bar. 10 years or so ago, then I got a husqvarna 460 rancher with a 24 bar so much better saw and they weigh close to the same lol but then it was getting heavy for normal to small cutting. So I got a dewalt 20v battery with a 12 bar for limbs and I love that saw for what it is! But 2 years ago I got a Husqvarna 545 mark II xp 20 bar with x-cut chain and I love that saw best one yet faster,lighter and uses less fuel than the 460 by a long shot. But now I want a 592 with a big bar and a 20 bar to play with for my newly formed wood business. I also would like to mess around with making some slabs out of all the wood I have in front of me. I've used the 460 with an Alaskan mill and it's OK but it needs more power and a bigger bar than a 24! Great video as always and great look at the different brands of saws I'll stick with my Husqvarna 😉😉😁😁😁
Thanks for watching the 592 and a 24" bar is great.
Hey chis what gauge of chain do you run on your 572xp? Do you have a preference?
All of my chain is .050
Thanks, i currently have a 562 xp. The saw came with .058 gauge, i am planning on switching to .050 because there are way more options for chains here in north east kansas. Love you videos and starting to get my inventory up to sell wood next year!
ty for vid, some great stuff.
Time on first 3x cookies by Chris:
Stihl 462 close to 18 sec
Husky 572 close to 23 sec
The discussion on chain sharpness differences accounts for this well I think.
*Nice* to see 2 similar saws doing same cut by consistent experienced cutter, ty.
Never seen my stihl 291 fuel or oil caps leak.
The fuel caps are critical fire and explosion hazard parts of all chain saws.
Claiming these are faulty on any brand of saw is a big claim.
I have not seen or heard anyone else talking of any saws having leaking fuel caps.
It’s a maxim that claims require sufficient substance and those without it should be held as unsubstantiated with the burden on the one making the claim.
Good Morning Peace-Irene
I have seen a lot of leaky caps.
@@InTheWoodyard
Hi Chris, ty for your reply.
That being the case it is a serious matter - a fire and explosion risk factor.
I will pass on your witness testimony to Dr. Jürgen Hoffmann, Director Product Certification
& Regulatory Affairs. He signed off on the 500i instruction manual I downloaded. (I wonder if he signed off at the end of your USA purchased one?) Anyway it would be cool if you get paid to make chainsaws safer through some collaboration.
When you finish with 'Goodnight Irene' I assume Irene is someone close and it's a private thing between you and likely known by some like Tony etc. It is possible that a small portion that use hidden in plain sight communication, may interpret this as something like lights out to peace i.e. a declaration of war. In context this would be business war and as you are very solidly and powerfully building many facets of a well founded and energetic business ... you could be seen as one knowledgeable in ancient philosophical knowledge used to found and control much of western (now global) society.
It is normal for those in a society to imbibe and become aligned and actively use the inner fundamentals of that society, this is unconscious in most. This could be much of the essential you, though in various ways unconscious.
I’m sure you know that fear is a very powerful motivator that can create and prevent sales. In educational neuroscience dangerous things are the most likely to get our attention and consideration and to be remembered and influence action. (Source: David A Sousa, how the brain learns, 4th edition and my own experience/observations) Saying Stihl fuel caps leak associates Stihl with flammable explosive danger. To cover yourself while communicating important knowledge like this, I suggest giving more details that explain why the fuel caps were leaking. The only reason in this video I remember is that they were Stihl fuel caps. The most common forms of disinformation involve *exclusionary detailing.* I think Stihl would be justified in requesting this video be removed for disinformation potentially creating fear of Stihl chainsaws as fire/explosion hazards. But far more importantly, I’m sure all good honest people like you would never want to disadvantage others by creating fear unfairly.
Anyway if you're interested to discuss anything further, we can dialogue etc as we choose.
A little fun.
3 fundamental pillars of firewood business.
#1 - The person(s) - their physical and mental skills/tools
#1 - Quality wood
#1 - People wanting their wood.
Like all tripods, the wider, stronger and better founded all of the #1’s - the higher and bigger the structure can be and remain stable.
Interestingly, the person must have quality wood before others can know about it and want it. So Although a #1 like the others ... *in the sensible and rational order of reality, people wanting your wood can only come after you have wood.*
So #1, #1 and #1 above are in a true to natural causality order. (or are they?)
The laws/ways of nature rule and govern all things, the better we know and align our thinking and doing with them, the more the rule and power of nature in our lives and living. We are a part of nature so when we connect with other parts of it we are connecting with the stuff of our essence. Perhaps this is why it feels good to be physically and mentally active while directly interacting with natural reality.
A fun poke, please enjoy. I’m sorry, but if you want to be true to natural reality and it’s causality, you’re going to have to align yourself with the #1’s above and it’s not my fault the laws of nature make this true … having a little grin, now the question is, will you be able to say customers are number one with as much certainty and confidence after the time necessary to consider this and for cognitive change? Incidentally if your mind finds it to be true, you might not be able to stop it from eventually changing. Our minds have a mind of their own.
Concerning firewood business: In the natural order of things it seems you and those with you are the first #1, quality wood is the second #1 while customers combine only after these to complete a tripod of #1’s. One structure, three legs, understandable in objective reality.
While you've taken years to develop a firewood business I've had the opportunity and some resources and time to do a lot of thinking. The mind, like the physical body gets stronger and more skilled with use and practice and interactions. If anything above stirs your interest I'm happy to share what I think I know etc.
Cheers Chris
sincerely

@@InTheWoodyard
Hi Chris
I came across an example of you seeing a "leaky" Stihl cap but it wasn’t. The cap merely sealed so well that pressure could build up inside the fuel tank and when Tony showed you the lift and 1/4 turn, the out-rush of pressured air and fumes pushed some fuel out around the cap, soon after you called it a leaky cap.
Vid: #325 - Stihl MS 500i - Saw Test and Comparisons
Link at that time.
ua-cam.com/video/6hl5ZFyPyy8/v-deo.html
I have seen what you did, lots of times. It is not seeing a leaky petrol cap but one air and gas tight under enough petrol tank pressure to blow some out as the cap is opened.
I will contact Stihl Product Certification & Regulatory Affairs again to let them know it seems you have not actually seen leaky Stihl caps but call a solid seal having a small amount of fuel blow out from normal pressure ... a leaky cap.
I just have to sigh, shake my head and put it down the fact that many just don't know how to communicate accurately.
sincerely
david
Are you comparing saws or the person operating the saw? If you think that dry Ash is hard you need to try some dry Locust or Dogwood.
Yup, dry locust cuts hard too!
Does Ann Marie have a channel Chris? She impresses me for an older lady using a big saw like the 462. She has areas to improve in but I think the log was a little high for her as well. I put a full wrap on my 572 and it is going to be my new main saw, I run a 28" bar and cut mostly douglas fir out here in Montana. I am seriously thinking of getting another one like for backup like you use them.
Hi
No. I do not have a channel, and I am not on any Social Media.
I do not have the time nor the interest to invest in video.
@@annmariekowalski7505 Thanks and keep up the hard work I am impressed, if you do decide to get some videos up and running please put the word out would love to watch!
Yup, that sounds like a good idea for a back up.
@@kellyhamel4302 Thank You. I will let you know, but right now, my thoughts are a firm no.
i think both those saws are in an in-between zone....in between big saw and mid size saw id rather run a 400c or 562 in wood that, then i skip that size and have a bunch of 88 cc plus saws for bigger stuff....i enjoyed watching and confirmed my way of doing stuff to me
thanks
Thanks for watching!
Lol lol all of em lol!!! 100% on how people work dull saws!! Your on point!!!
Thanks for watching!
@@InTheWoodyard you're good dude!!
Hey bud, I love Husqvarna's, I own 2 and thinking about a third. I'm thinking about buying a 572 xp, what's the going rate, my local retailer is asking $ 1298, is that reasonable?
That sounds about right, everything is going up ....fast!
There is an argument that old chains have a slightly narrower kerf.
If you remove less width in the cut you may cut a little faster.
A very fit person can produce about 400 watts (old fat person like me a lot less) even a small saw will be a handful if you try and fight it.
Yup, saws are work!
Just started watching your videos the last couple days Chris. Love your channel. You seem like such a great guy and hard worker. Learning stuff from you already. I’m thinking about selling some firewood and you are a inspiration. I believe people that work hard get rewarded. Also Ann and Tony seem like great people
Thanks Robert, don't think, just start cutting now!
Your doing good. Just know here the tip is in the wood. In time
yup!
Nice job on the video and some great info! Might have been a good moment to talk/learn about throttle control also? I feel so many people do just fine with 40-50cc saw class, but the bigger/heavy saws are just to much. They come across their first big rounds or tree down and go buy a huge saw because they want to slice through it in one cut. The dealers only have long bars on big cc saws. The average person can just buy a longer bar for their 40-50cc saw and it will not hurt anything cutting up the occasional large diameter wood. It may take a little longer but would be much safer then big ole boat anchor the dealer just suckered them into! The average homeowner has no business with a 70cc or up saw without training.IMO
Just speaking in general and not in reference to Ms. Ann. She has obviously researched and respects what she has purchased. It would be no different then a gun dealer selling a first time buyer a 44 Magnum pistol to carry...or a car dealer selling a kid with his permit a Ferrari!👍
Yup, big saws are no joke, very different!
For me there is a substantial difference in ergos and feel. I am a bigger guy with large hands and the Stihl handles and trigger feel too small for me. I like the thicker diameter of the 572XP handles and trigger feel. The Husky also has less vibration when cutting than the Stihl and better balance. The Stihl has a bit more throttle response and oomph up top and is a pound or so lighter, but that's the only difference. Reliability is about equal. The Husky can be had on sale for as little as $900 at some shops while the Stihl is $1340 and up. Is slightly lighter and the Stihl name worth $400+? You decide.
Great info!! Thanks!
Dang that 462C bar looks like it has eaten a lot!
It has.
Yup!
Great video of y'all cutting and the advise how to use your body to help in cutting. Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks David!
That 592 is an animal
Yup, it sure is!
Love the channel. So really, the 462 smoked the 572 by like two seconds. In 7 seconds, that's huge. You did a comparison, it has a new chain and the 572 has an old one? What?
The Stihl smoked it. Really Huskey fan boy. lol Great channel. I might buy the 572 because it is 300 bones cheaper that the 462 right now.
The 572 had a chain that was wore out and dull, I could tell right away and the 462 was new and just sharpened!
The 462 is built to be light, the 572 is built to last
Anne Marie did great despite the log being a bit high for her height. None of us were born knowing this stuff, we all had to learn as we went. And I might say as a WI native, it's nice to hear people speak with the proper pronunciation.
Well said!
Why do an up cut with a big saw????
Faster cutting , more production.
Both are dandy saws but I’m a husky guy, over 40years of being in or around the logging business I’ve had better luck out of the husky’s, now this is just my experience, and I’m lucky I got a stihl and husky dealer 20 minutes from home

Dry ash . . . sounds painful.
Yup!
I have 9 saws, saws from them all. I have Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, Makita, RedMax just a red Husqvarna, a couple old Homelite and John Deere. I prefer Stihl but a lot of that is because their dealers are everywhere here. Between here and home in SC I have a Stihl dealer within 10 min of home and not many Husqvarna dealers. I know the 1 Husqvarna dealer I know of here the guy is a real asshole and has treated me really poorly when I have been in there. I was there because I had a brand new RedMax that I bought online that had the oiler broken in the box brand new. Figured there should be a warranty so I went in. Guy told me I should have bought the orange version of the same saw from him. I ended up just buying an oiler and installing it. I would have just returned the saw but I didn't want to pay shipping and all to send it back. It pissed me off so much I haven't even used the saw. I had it 2 years now its still brand new in my garage never put oil or gas in it. Its a top handle saw that has a rear handle. I wanted something real nice and light and have always thought these saws were cool. I think its a GZ360 think the model is but Husqvarna has the identical saw just orange instead of red they are just one of the top handles that has a rear handle instead of top.
That is a bunch of saws!
Relax when you’re cutting lady let the saw do the work.

To be invited to The Wood Yard, to use Chris's Tools and spend the day with someone who pours his heart out while he shares his knowledge is a once in a life time experience.
Not all Angels wear wings. Some have pink tape on their equipment.
It is a big saw for sure, like a crotch rocket!
HA! Thanks!
Be SAFE
always!

Let the saw do the work slow down on the caffeine good lord un needed abuse on that great saw. Poor thing just pinned the go button wide open the kick back on that saw would be awful need to crawl before ya walk. Way to much skinny pedal.
Yup
Was enjoying the vid untill the chic wrecked it
Sorry to hear that, some men can't handle women, it's okay, don't be afraid.
Look like both got dull chains
Nope both where sharp but the Stihl was a new chain.

Take those saws away from her, she isn't strong enough for the power head weight.
When you start rocking the bar in the wood like she was. It's a sign of having a bur on the bar or it's dull.
I picked up my first husky 562, it blows my Stihl 361 out of the water on speed
Call bullshit here, it’s how you work with the saw.
It was her first time running a 93 cc saw and she was being taught how.
Time to bring out my 3/4 fire boots. Let the bullshit flow.
Next time I come to the wood yard, meet me behind the cookie bin.
