- Felling and bucking with my new Sthil ms 462, this elm had the top blown out from a storm a few years ago. My MS261 has been my go to saw for 3 years now but I think it has meet its replacement, the 462 offers great power to weight for not much more weight. The 261 will still have its place and get quite a lot of use still, but the bigger logs the 462 is just night and day faster!
My Equipment:
Stihl MS 462 C-M
- Egan Ported
- 24" Sugihara Light Bar
Stihl MS 261 C-M
- 16" Stihl light 04 bar
- Muffler Mod
- • Chainsaw Muffler Mod W...
- • Stihl MS 261 CM Westco...
I have that same saw. Love the power to weight ratio. Went with the West Coast Saw bark box and the air filter. Don’t see any need to have it ported for my needs. Be safe.
I did not need it ported either but it was a good deal so I jumped on it. How do you like the bark box?
Cool vid! The 462 is tough to beat. Ported, she's a real ripper!
It’s overkill for what I need most of the time but it sure is a fun saw to run!
Love my 462. It’s just waiting parts at the moment. Dropped a log onto last weekend and smashed the handle combined tank. I was gutted, but it’ll be back in use soon. Chris
That’s a bummer man, hope you get it back together and up and running soon! That feeling sucks watching your saw get smashed!
Thank you for this beautiful video ! Sound is perfekt 👌🏻
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
@@foggyvalleyacres wish the same video from a 400c-m
I would love a 400cm to add to the 261 and 462.
I'd be running mine right now if it wasn't still dark out - and I didn't care about my neighbors. (Please use all safety precautions including hearing protection. I've been kneecapped by loose chunks.)
Thanks, it’s a great saw! Really makes cutting firewood a little easier. I definitely need to get better at wearing them all the time, thanks and hope you enjoyed!
They like the gas for sure! Everytime I run my 550xp I cut with it for awhile and I’m thinking to myself, Is this thing ever going to run out of gas?! Very efficient on the fuel compared to the bigger saws
I know, I usually cut twice as long with my 261, first time it ran out of gas I thought I didn’t fill it up all the way lol nope she’s just a heavy drinker
I've been using a ms441c for the last 10 years as my big firewood saw. Couple of weeks ago our property got flooded and it was in my basement. I've got it running again,but the throttle cable is seized up. I'm wondering if it's worth fixing or maybe trying to upgrade. It's been a good saw,but kinda heavy compared to a ms400 or 462. I wont know if it's really ok until I can fix or replace the throttle cable. I cant decide what I'll do,but the 462 looks like a nice choice for my 28" bar
I would honestly fix the 441, it’s a great saw. A tad on the hefty side but they are built great. Since you already have the 441 and most likely it would be a pretty simple fix I’d definitely go that route.
@@foggyvalleyacres I got it apart and fixed. Water had gotten in around the throttle cable and linkage and the saw dust around that area set up like cement. Took alot of brushing,picking,and carb cleaner but shes ;back up and running.
Awesome! Glad you got it fixed up without any issues.
I have both, the 441 non m tronic and bought a 462 this year. Love the 462, light, nimble and cuts faster then the 441. Use both for bucking, but the 462 is turning out to be a more all around saw due to it being lighter. Both are great saws.
@@frankhabenicht9848 yeah the 462 is a big improvement over the 441. I finally picked up my new cable the other day but haven't replaced it yet. It looks like its gonna be a tough one to get at. I'll probably have to pull the carb and handle all apart.
Power
Power makes the wood chips fly! Thanks for watching.
very nice. that thing screams. who did the port work?
Thanks, it’s a fun saw for sure! I was originally told ripsaw but it turned out to be false. The engine/port work was done by Jason Egan.
Going well it's strong. ....where is this. ..?
Thanks, it is a great running saw. This is in Ohio.
@@foggyvalleyacres Oh okay very far. ..
What oil and ratio you used for mix ? Great vidéo y have the same chainsaw
Thanks, it is a great saw! I use Amsoil saber mixed at 50:1
Thanks what type of chain you used in this video semi chisel or full chisel and haw do you sharpen this?
@@MrBaptiste003it is semi skip full chisel, and I hand file to sharpen
👍👍
Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed 🤘🏼
great video! Is that ms 462 ported?
Yes, it is ported. It is a great running saw!
@@foggyvalleyacres who did the porting?
I was originally told ripsaw did the porting, but turned out to be Egan that did the porting.
How are you liking the “R” model? I really like that saw! Do you find yourself using the side handle often? Nice drop ! 🪵⛓🪚👍👏🇺🇸 Rick
I don’t really use it, I think I’m going to end up going back to a half handle. I don’t think it’s worth the extra weight for my use but other than that I love the saw!
@@foggyvalleyacres thanks !
