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.
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!
