Out with Tony using the new MS STIHL 462 C-M chainsaw to cut some firewood on the new property we got permission to cut trees on. More on the MS STIHL 462 C-M here: www.stihlusa.c...
I just got my 462 yesterday. I can’t wait to try it out. It’s a nice companion for my 550MK2. Out of the 50 cc I leaned towards Husky. On the 70cc I leaned towards Stihl. Both companies make great saws in my opinion. I think the Echo 60cc saws may be some of the best bang for the Buck though. Would like to run one sometime.
Chris, I like that you are cutting the tops, 3", 4" wood along with the big logs. Also, the top handle saw with the magnet measuring device looked like it worked like a charm. Keep cutting, splitting and stacking.
Nice video fellas! Good change of pace to see ya out cuttin again Chris! That place it an absolute gold mine for firewood!! Felling trees right in the road! You can’t beat that.👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Nice job guys. You put a lot of wood on the ground today. Tony has been holding out with his cutting/felling skill. Running a new Stihl at half throttle will teach it bad habits/let her rip. GNI
I'm a husqvarna and jonsered man but in my job as a firefighter we use the sthil 462 firefighter edition and I absolutely fell in love with that saw so I'm now considering buying one to cut my firewood Greetings from Norway to you guys
Chris, great work with Tony dropping, limbing, and blocking those trees up today. Like how Tony used the top handle saw to mark his rounds. Has to be great to go to the woods and work with Tony! Great video!
I enjoyed this video you and Tony working together and cutting oak trees at 150 acre property, that’s more wood for you and Tony, bring your brother Ken to join you and Tony,
Looked like an absolute perfect day to be in the woods cutting! I sure wish both saw manufacturers made a dead wood oiler setting. All the way up is never enough oil for cutting dead wood especially with longer bars. It makes for alot of bar wear and chain plug ups like you had in video. The EPA or whoever cringes at the thought of 1 drop of oil hitting the ground need to help pay for the premature bar wear out...Thanks for video!👍
Hi an arborist/faller from germany here i used to have a 362 c-m and an 500i besides my t200 and my 550 mk2 well with the 462 c-m i now have only a 3 saw System i got rid of my 362 and my 500i and it works great ... i recently got my seccond 462 i run one with a 20 inch Bar and one with a 32 inch (wich it Handels amazingly well to my suprise ) i am one of the rare guys in europe who loves to work with his long Bars its true most guys Here use 24inch Max. Rarely you See anything above but i am quite tall (6.7/6.8 ft) and quite young (close to the 30s) so weigth and legth are not a big concern for me I really dont miss the 500i (wich is a amazing saw by any means but the 462 is just more for me) and for the really big stuff or for milling i have an 088 from i think the very eraly 80s wich is just one Bad mf and i am still a bit Nervus using it ... its just a raw old beast... but its runnig for nearly 5 years with me and i am at least the 5th owner of that worksaw style ported dinosaur 🤣 Cool video keep it up greetings from germany 👌🏻
Great score on firewood. And it's fun to cut trees with a friend. I could tell tony was holding off on the throttle. I cut my wood with husqvarna 562 and 372 and my dealer told me there was no break in period for them. But I didn't hold em pegged for a couple of tanks anyways, figured it couldnt hurt. And I agree chris, that using pro saws is the way to go. I'm not in production but you can't beat the speed and power.
Absolutely loving these on location videos Chris.. As a Uk watcher it is awesome to see you going into these forests and seeing all the action. Plus learning so much about the saws but as a Stihl guy ( sorry) who's about to jump from running a baby 180 and a 251 up to either a 362 or 391 (still trying ti decide which ) watching you on these big boy saws makes me so jealous.
@@InTheWoodyard it runs better when you get a WCS bark box muffler and get the other parts of the muffler opened up and a good sharp chain and filed rackers !
I don't know guys...now I'm not say'in I am biased but I am think'in that 462 at half throttle was smok'in that big Huskie out Chris! LOL! JK! Thanks gents! Thanks for the tip Tony - I didn't know you were supposed to run at half throttle for a few tanks first. Some big wood today!
GP there are many different opinions on saw break-in. Chris's Husky dealer told him just go out and run his new 592 saw. Both my IL and Wisc Stihl dealers told me to take it easy for the first few tanks of fuel. Run the saw at half throttle or vary the rpm's but limit full throttle for long periods of time. As I mentioned before, after running about 10 or so tanks the saw has improved performance. Cheers, hope you get your saw soon, I know firsthand how hard it is to be patient waiting for it.
I idled and babied my ms261 first tank the second tank opened it up and she puked and sputtered and stalled out had to go back dealer to reset mtronics on the computer. It wouldn’t even start just flooded. Now no issues running it like it is supposed too. Might have been my fault it burped and released choke now I pull until she runs on start.
Chris great video guys Tony thanx to you to always great to see cutting fire wood,and it must be the best to be in between the trees like that coz I know it's the best free feeling a person can get you know,keep up cutting fire wood boys want to see the trailer loads full🤛👌👍
youd be surprised what a bark box/egen straight shot muffler and a maxflow air filter will do to most new stihls. yes they are loud but when u consider the close to 1hp gains on top of a saw that cools better and has better throttle response its worth the extra 100-150 bucks. i also like the 461 over the 462. alittle more displacement. and i like a 24 inch bar too i only like big bars when i gotta stump a real big tree thats like 4-5 feet across. 28 isnt bad either if its a lightweight bar. great video though keep it up. i gotta get ready to go take out a goliath ash tree for the city. bringing the 088 along for this one lol. its gotta be 5 foot at the stump. luckily city trees are always right by the road so we can use a bucket truck. if it was in a backyard that would suck lol
Tony your a brave man. Cutting wood with Chris is like playing basketball with Michael Jordan. Of course they're both getting a little long in the tooth. Lol 😆 🤣 😂
Hi from Frankfurt, Germany. Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your channel and the relaxing, interesting and well made content. Just bought a 550XP MArk II - my firts Husqvarna - and I am looking forward to make some firewood with it.
Would love it, if you haven't already, do a calculation of the cost effectiveness of felling and bucking free trees v. buying a truck of logs. Thank you sir for your videos!
The longer the chain bar is actually less straining for the back and knees etc for the long term. The multi trailer comment from yesterday was if the landowner wanted to allow certain days to cut and then you wanted to get the most out of those days. That’s why I said multi trailers and a loading crew and chain crew.
Καλησπέρα στην Αμερική εγώ είμαι από Φλώρινα Δυτική Μακεδονία Ελλάδα 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 Έχω και εγώ το 462 cm πολύ δυνατό αλυσοπρίονο είμαι πολύ ευχαριστημένος. Και εμείς εδώ έχουμε κρύο χιόνια από 1 Μαρτίου χιονίζει βρέχει έχει ήλιο έχει κρύο τα κάψαμε όλα 10 τόνους ξύλα 7 τόνους πέλλετ και συνεχίζει από Δευτέρα λέει πάλι βροχή Χιόνι για δύο μέρες. Πολύ ωραία δουλειά μπράβο σάς 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🆗❤️
Sure would be nice if you put your videos out in order. One episode you have a new trailer next one you have the old one. I'm all sorts of confused but in turn that dont take much. Just kidding. Love the videos no matter what the order is. 🤪👍
G'day ITW, Jendobrah 😀My Missus is part Polish the frugal part I think 🤔. Tell Tony what you run in the Northern Hemisphere is a personal choice. Down under we have two choices Toyota and Stihl 👍🇦🇺.
Молодцы. Но ...... хотел бы Вам сделать совет. Используйте правильно зубчатый упор бензопилы. Иначе Вы быстро устаете. Т.е. надо пилить древесину поступательными движениями в верх и в низ. Бензопилы очень классные. У меня самого есть Штиль-180, 250, 260, 361. Хускварна-130, 450, 353, 372 ХР. Вам всем удачи.
Love Tony’s cutting chaps, his true colors are showing. Probably has Husky underwear. Admit it Tony, you’re finally coming out of the closet. Put down the crooked cutting Stihl and pick up the Husky, you know you want to!! Tell him Chris, feel the power of the orange side!
Remember I’ve often said I’m non-denominational when it comes to tools. I love my Husky full wrap chaps and hookaroon. I would love to own a husky saw and that may happen some day🤞
@@TonysCoolTools Just busting your chops Tony, it looks like a really nice saw. You have the best toys and now all you need to do is raise monster elk to compete with Jason from NM, then Chris will love you again. Tough to compete with an elk like that, it was a beauty!!
Still like the 572's better? Being familiar/ comfortable with what your used to, it is hard to.change. almost everyone in these parts runs stihl, but I still run husqvarna's. 562, 550, 346 n clunker xp'd 350 for brush/ ladder work. All ported and love them all. Recently sold my like new 372, getting replaced by new dolmar 7900 soon. Cant justify cost of new 390, n keep hearing great things about the dolmar, so I'll try it for my "stupid" size wood I seem to encounter more frequently.
That's what you call gravy cherry picking cutting there!! That's how it should be cutting firewood hahaha!! Good for you two out there! Stay safe my friend
I make per year roughly 60 cubicmeters of woods (25% hard wood, 75% pine trees). I want to replace my MS 440, YoM 2003 with a 20" sword, soon. I really dont know, if it will be the MS 462 or the MS 500i. My STIHL dealer gave my the MS 500 for testing and I must say, this thing is a Monster. Otherwise I try to stay away from electronics when it comes to Chainsaws. So I am more smiling at the the 462. Greetings from Germany
The 400 is more than 60cc, it’s actually 67. I recently bought the 400 with 20’ bar and it’s a fantastic saw. Only 5cc less than 462 but weighs less too
so was wondering why you guys dont just pull the splitter there and split it on sight ??? getting older , it gets harder to lift n load them bigger rounds.
I see you dumped all the firewood in your woodyard. Don't forget to pay Tony for his work!!! He needs all the money he can get to pay for that new saw.
@@InTheWoodyard would it be worth bringing the tractor there and cutting a few log truck loads and having them hauled back instead of bucking it all on site? With that amount of wood you could probably cut and stack 2 or 3 loads a day and have it trucked back for a reasonable price? Not judging by any stretch but I'm at least always curious about the "method behind the madness" lol.
Man I want in on helping you guys cut down some trees at that location. Just plain good exercise and entertainment and I work for free. I have plenty of saws. Betting the new toy is a Husqvarna 592XP like mine which is an awesome saw. Let me know how I get in on the fun.
Everytime someone offers me free wood it's over a hillside 20ft tangled in briars,lol. Liking the 462,and though I know husqvarna makes a good saw,they're not for me. Never really liked their outboard clutch and crank bearings,but that's just me. I run a 441cm as my 70cc saw and aside from it being kinda heavy it's done great for 10+ years pulling a 28" bar. If I were to buy a new bigger saw itd probably be a 462.
For $9.32 I bought a pack of 12 Dixon lumber marking crayons. I use a 16" piece of pvc as my guide and they mark on absolutely any wood in any condition - bark, wet, punky, anything. Plus I've handed them out to friends. So I guess I'm about $2 all-in. Tony accomplished the same thing with that top-handle chainsaw for $100's. Chris, I'm definitely in your camp of don't waste money.
After I bought my MS462c I bought a used MS362c a second/back-up saw. I had used other 60 cc saws previously but I was so used to the power of the MS462c that I thought there was something wrong with it. It was just so slow in comparison. It got so I didn't want to use it. I sold it and bought the MS400c which is only a few cc's more but for whatever reason runs a lot faster and would keep up better with the MS462c. Just like Tony I now have a MS500i and MS462c. I find the 500i better in bigger wood. It tends to four-stroke a bit in smaller wood. The 462c will run right with the 500i in the smaller to mid-range stuff but if you get into anything really big the 500i shines. Nice work out there boys. I look forward to seeing your progress. It looks like you could be there for as long as you want to keep going. Dave
Dave you’re spot on, I had my 362 on that trip and after using the 462 at half throttle and 500 wide open it seemed I was waiting forever for the 362 to finish a cut. Don’t get me wrong the 362 is a great saw but we’ve gotten spoiled with more power on the 462/500i saws.
@@TonysCoolTools If you've only ever used 50-60 cc saws then the 362c is a great saw. Once you get a taste for a 70+ cc saw with a 24" bar for standing up and bucking 12" + wood it's hard to go back. The 261c, 362c and other saws in that class are great for smaller stuff, limbing or if you have physical limitations that prevent you from using a bigger heavier saw..... Although the 462c and 500i aren't a whole lot heavier. No let's talk about those Husqvarna chaps and suspenders you were wearing. Are we going to have to put your Stihl membership under review? 😁. Dave
Hey Chris, I recently started to try and identify trees and just a suggestion maybe you could mention in your videos what type of wood your cutting. Is that White oak tony and your were cutting?
Does your tractor with grapple fit in your new trailer? The logistics of what you're trying to do are a worry. I think this new lot is over an hours drive from the woodyard and on a good day you might fell and buck a trailer load or 2 cord and get it back to the woodyard. With a log landing using log trucks you'd save over 7 return trips in your own truck for every log truck. Hiring a log truck isn't cheap but doing 7 return trips in your truck isn't either. Using your tractor you'd probably get close to felling a log truck full in a day or maybe two and what a great time for Ken to pay a visit. It's your choice but using your truck you'll get 4 cord in two days compared to 16 to 32 cord using log trucks in the same time. You could come out of there with a couple of hundred cord in two weeks. You might have to divert a few trucks to Ken's and Tony's though.
