Great video as I have all Rigid tools and batteries I am interested in one. Regarding the speeds you said it was a 2 speed and a bareable speed on top of that,, what did you mean by that, cheers.
Variable speed in that speed is regulated by how far you pull the trigger in. Two speed in that low setting only goes so fast and that high setting gives you maximum speed.
Almost the same as the ryobi, same handle same spool head same guard same trigger section, only thing that seams different is the motor section, ryobi is 40v 4ah and half the price
here on the east coast we have shorter trees and it's hard to get momentum in the fall to get them on the ground.I run a Husky 372 with a 28 inch bar,my 395 with the 36inch bar sits alot,you've got a really pretty saw!
The suspension looks great on that 462 holding the bar. I just bought a 20" 462 brand new sales tax free NH. Now I need projects! I just wanted a toy basically. Nice plunge cutting. I like the way you left the original exhaust on and only changed the dawgs.
Thank you. I normally run a 25" on this saw. Runs either just fine without bogging. Very impressive Stihl model. A lot of people were skeptical about this model, but after using one they were pretty much astounded. I'm blown away every time I get the privilege of running it. Fast, light, great torque. It's my new favorite Stihl. It does everything my 661 does, with the exception of running a 48" bar, and it's over 3 pounds lighter. I've used it to cut through an oak that I had to go to both sided just to cut through it, while helping with tornado clean up in Selma, AL, last year. It ate right through it with this 36" bar without hesitation and minimal effort. If I could only have one chainsaw, I'd definitely choose this one.
Constructive criticism. Just let the chain cut. When you put pressure on the chain it stalls. A sharp chain will pretty much pull itself through the workpiece. It is a fine dance between dogging in and controlling the bar. Nice saw. 5 to 6hp is all you really need for the majority of felling.
Correct. 36 inches on a 70cc saw is already pushing its capabilities. Letting the chain cut with only very slight pressure will be fine. This guy was pushing way too hard here.
I appreciate the fact that you showed to tool being used in real yard work, instead of the nonsensical trimming of a few 4 inch tall strands of grass along a 5ft stretch of wall like most of the other people absurdly calling themselves reviewers of this String Trimmer. Have a great day.
I have since returned it. Though it may be perfect for a great many people, it wasn't right for my needs, given the terrain I deal with and need for longevity regarding the battery life. One thing that would help is a trigger lock.
That bog down is really bad. And wow did it ever slow down when you hammered it down and it tried to cut the remaining string off. What were they thinking for this? It seems to have just pure speed more then torque to control the low speed down. But it seems to cut well with it's fast speed. But maybe next test is try something more compact and denser to see how well it'll handle thicker and more clumped up stuff. Stuff that's more squeezed closer to itself like taller grass and weeds. That'd be a good video to show how well it'll handle much tougher stuff then a light load of semi tall grass.
It's called an AC Line Splitter and can be purchased on ebay or amazon. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=ac+line+splitter&_sacat=0
I should've shut it off after I initially crunk it and readjusted the chain. I knowed better, but I didn't do better, which is why the chain was sagging.
I heared dat. I've never met a Stihl that wasn't easy to work on, and very few that actually did need working on, none of which were because of manufacturer defects.
I just got a 441 c-m and haven't had a chance to try it out yet. How has yours been handling? I like the 441 way more than the 461 simply because its a legend from way back in the 90's I am going to port my 441 to beat my brother in laws 461. I am not going to tell him that I ported the 441 when we race.
