I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ru-vid.comUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.
To everyone who mentioned that I was standing too far away when cutting, I appreciate the feedback. Part of the learning curve. I have since made adjustments to be closer and maintain better posture. Definitely easier on the back!
I gotta be honest, every time you reached oboe your mid chest with that overly long bar and sort of threw the saw at the wood i cringed. Get a shorter bar, and limb the tree from the stump end upwards until you don't need to reach as much. Even if you never experience a kickback incident you'll kill your back and arms the way you're going about the task in this video. This is coming from a guy who's been at this for 50 years.
*Coming up on having had this saw for a year....am a casual user and bought it to cut up sections for bowl blanks. Easy to start, **Bestfor.Garden** also recommend even after storage for a couple of months. Simple chain tension adjustment. Just cut up some 20" Osage Orange, including ripping bolts in half (at an angle). Like butter!*
With a bar of 16 making the cuts in less than a third of the time, I see no reason for such large bars. I am professional in Portugal and I use 18 bars on my two 372xp x torp
My 455 was an excelle t reliable light weight chainsaw that I had for three years until it grew legs! You don't realize how much you love your truck, your dog and your chainsaw until they are gone !
I like my 460. Only complaint I have is that the line from The oil tank to the oiler tank leaks and marks its territory. I found a fix online however I just lay the saw on its side with the oil cap facing down and it doesn’t leak.
Great saw. I recently got the 460 rancher and put an 18" Oregon bar/chain on it. I think I get a little more bang for the buck that way. I live on 5 heavily wooded acres and can't really come up with a reason I would need a 24" bar. Maybe if I was trying to take down a huge oak?? Not to be mean, but I think the fella who published this video would benefit from watching a couple of chainsaw technique videos.
+hayden ingram I had 3 good years with a 455. Bud has it now. In that size range, do check out the PS-6100 Dolmar, 61 cc of screaming (10K peak power) pro-quality badass, about same price as 460 Husqy, handles 24" nicely. For $400, look at the 59 cc Echo, designed by Shindaiwa. Stihl's not even in the picture.
Im changing my stihl for a husqvarna because je engine turns faster and the saw is stronger than a stihl if you want a good saw take the 460 because pro saws like the 555 autotune need more maintenance. Good video love the saw
You prolly dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last few weeks =)
