There used to be a guy that owned a hardware store in my hometown that also sold chainsaws and splitters as well as yard equipment. He had a small wood yard out behind the store that he let people try out the saws and even compare their own saws against the new ones. You could even test the splitters. The guy was a genius. He sold a lot of saws and had people cutting and splitting his firewood for him and paying him to do it 😂 Couldn't do it nowadays because of liability though. Good comparison video 👍

@KNLFirewood 3 месяца назад

That would be cool to kick the tires on them before you bought them!

@jamessanders4310 3 месяца назад

That grapple is a real back saver...I'd buy the second one you ran...doesn't bog down..

@KNLFirewood 3 месяца назад

The second round was the 400. It’s a mean 67ccs! One of my favorites for sure!

@adirondackwoodsman 3 месяца назад

Hey Mike, I went through a similar decision between getting a 572XP and a 562XP. I opted for the 562XP because it was almost a pound lighter and about $300 less. A 60cc class saw vs. a 70cc class saw. The right decision for me. Have a great day!

@KNLFirewood 3 месяца назад

For what we’re doing, 60cc is plenty. But I’m kind of a junky now 🤣

@danshouseofsmokeandoutdoor7119 3 месяца назад

Both saws cut good. I can’t believe it but I bought a 550 xp. I used a 395 for over 20 years. Moved to 372 couple years ago. The 550 a heck of a saw and light. I like my long bars though. That some big wood. I having hard time getting tree service wood here. They can dump it for no cost here so make little harder. Can’t beat a big saw dogged into big log. Keep up the good work.

@DanielAtkinsFirewood 3 месяца назад

The 462 is just a newer 461 from my understanding. Since i have 2 461s. I would say the 462 did a fantastic job over the 400. I have never ran a 400.😉👍

@KNLFirewood 3 месяца назад

I’m not sure how well a 400 would run that 32” bar you like?? It runs the 25” bar pretty well.

@TwinCityFirewood 3 месяца назад

Both saws were ripping!! I’ve never ran either of those but the 400 sparks my interest. Seems to get a lot of good reviews!! Great video as always Mike!! And it was a pleasure talking with ya!

@KNLFirewood 3 месяца назад

Both saws are pretty awesome in my opinion! Thanks for watching Jacob!

@JeffGeorgalas 3 месяца назад

The only thing I would suggest, is that you keep an eye on your oil output on the 400 with that much bar. I've read that the oiler that Stihl uses on the 400 is subpar and doesn't put out enough oil.

@KNLFirewood 3 месяца назад

Hey Jeff! I haven’t had any trouble with it (knock on wood). I did turn up the oiler on it. I turn them all my saws oilers all the way up if they have adjustments. More oil = more gooder if you ask me! Thanks for the heads up. I’ll keep an eye on it!

@OOOOOO12345 3 месяца назад

Push the roll pin in on the oiler and you’ll get another 1/4 turn for a skutch more oil on the bar.

@briannelson4493 3 месяца назад

@johnm8891 Месяц назад

I think the 462 is Stihl's most underrated saw. For whatever reason the 500i and 400 get all the attention. You hardly even see a 462 for sale around here.

@KNLFirewood 3 месяца назад

I love the 400 but it’s taken a back seat since getting the 462. Maybe once the newness runs out on the 462 the 400 will take the top shelf again?? Thanks for watching and commenting! 261’s are super nice!

@saltrock9642 3 месяца назад

@@KNLFirewood the 462 gets taken out when I’m cutting a 48”-50” oak like the one we are doing tomorrow. The 28” bar comes in handy with giant water oaks. Smaller jobs the 400 is perfect, big ones are not as common.

@johnm8891 Месяц назад

I have all three as well, not because I needed them but because I wanted them. 😁 I would say the weight difference between the 400 and 462 is a lot less than the difference in power. I might just get rid of the 400 and find myself another 462.

@KNLFirewood Месяц назад

@briankelley617 2 месяца назад

Nice! I just bought a new 20" MS462. Now I just need wood to cut! I don't think I like the sound of that Bark Box though. So shrill. It's so classic. Just like with Harley Davidsons, everybody changes the exhaust!

Record in 144p not 1080p And things will be harder to spot. LOL ive found as saws gain features, they get heavier. So I run gen 1 372s, all made pre 2010. Or the exception to the rule, south America genuine saws, they are still sold without stratospheric air delivery. Or at least some still are.

@KNLFirewood 3 месяца назад

@sawsurgeon 3 месяца назад

That’s great information, I hadn’t checked to see when they went strato in the 372. I have a ‘12 372xp and like it fine, but I do gravitate to my 272 more often. I just love the way the old girl pulls a chain!💪🏼😍 Bless’ns!

@BGWenterprises 3 месяца назад

@@sawsurgeon best ways of knowing are, the compression release is on the side of the top end not on the top plastic cover. Choke lever is gray over the blue. Top end will not have the little bolt on parts on the transfer ports. Handle and top plastic is a fraction of an inch shorter. Intake boot is shaped differently. Throat of carb is approximately 1.5mm bigger on strato. All stratos are 50mm pistons, where the old ones had several different sizes 47 to 51.4mm and the aftermarket 52mm . Theres a few other super miner things, but thats plenty to figure out which version a person has.
