Stihl MS 462 (ported) vs Husqvarna 572xp (ported) 

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.

Nice video! I like to buy local if possible from smaller shops as opposed to chain stores. Where I got my 462 is from a small shop with two old guys like myself that have the time to talk about what they’re selling and they sell Stihl exclusively. For bucking firewood I really love my Stihl saws and I appreciate the weight savings with the Stihl saws as well. So the two old guys have this small shop and both actually work on saws and have for many years, not a young kid who has no real practical knowledge about what he is selling for the most part. I bought a 261 from them and liked it enough that I bought a second one as a wedding gift, the couple had a Husqvarna home owners saw on their wish list. So instead of the bottom end saw I got them all lined out with safety chaps, gas can, a six pack of oil for the extended warranty, storage box, files, two extra chains and a professional grade saw. I had the old guys switch it over to 3/8ths and a 20 inch bar too. At the wedding I just put an envelope with the receipt in it and a note on the gift table so all they needed to do was just go pick it up and get the lowdown from the two old guys. I never heard back from the couple, thank you kiss my ass nothin. I guess they didn’t like it or I liked them a lot more than they liked me, oh well. The two old guys will never forget me though. :) So then I call the two old guys up and told them I was wanting a 462, you bet they remembered me. They told me they had only one left so I asked them to put my name on it and I went over and picked it up the next day. You go to one of these big box stores you never see the same guy twice. I know without a doubt that if I ever need any help with my saws I got two old very experienced guys who will remember me and help me out.

I just know 1 thing.....I would happily take either one. Good job on both. Great vid ! They are both beasts

I think they both are good saws. I own a 394XP and a 21R weed eater both run great, not sure on the age of the 394 but I bought the whacker in 1990 and it has taken care of the farm and three rental houses been in shop once. Sold on Husky.

So they're pretty even. Nice to see a good comparison, and someone that knows how to run a saw properly for this type of comparison.

Best Chainsaw comparison videos on RU-vid Thanks!

25yrs of using stihl daily up to 15 different saws.I am sick of being the guinea pig and sorting out problems that should of been solved before a saws release.The 201t and 661 debacle now I have a one week old 462 with a control unit being replaced.Stihl sort your shit out.

I don't care how many versus videos I seen I still love watching them

That 462 sounds awesome

Good to see someone use the same bar and chain really gets me people using a worn out chain to a newer one and compare two saws this test was spot on

Stihl please. When you buy a Stihl the store always fuels up the saw and oils it and then starts it in front of you. Very impressive. Will always buy Stihl for that reason and of course they produce a quality product.

They are even. I would choose the lighter saw.

Was in red lake building a powerline in minus 30 everyday, husqs had no issues running the sthils had to have been warming up for them to start, husqs would cold start no problem

I love how lightweight the 462 is. I was window shopping at my Stihl dealer. Have not had a chance on the 572. Only way is to special order the Husky at my local dealer. They dont have any demo models and won't be carrying them anytime soon. The 462 will be my next saw!

But sometimes its the little things in life. Like a cover that holds the bar nuts for you!!

Man those cookies look like they were cut with a laser 😎

Well done, great review, either saw's a winner. I've got 3 old MS 460's ... I put a barker box on 1 ... then put on my best square ground chain and scared the heck out of myself .. It would eat my 660. That saw is 40% faster than my other old round filed machine. I know its a pain but if you cut a lot of wood it's a game changer getting a Simongton 451C and learning how to file square ground.

Finally I found a chainsaw comparison as I want. Good work! ;)

Cool that bars interchange. Slots use to be wide on stihl. Hate buying different bars when uhave stihls and huskys

Great comparison video!!! Both of those are screamers!! I'd be more than happy with either one of those lol. Thanks for the video!

best comparasion test on you tube

2 great saws cant go wrong with either one, for me I go with stihl

Good vid but it would be nice to see each saw have a brand new chain out of the box and each saw run there own equipment bar and chain etc. !

572 nice sound

I wish you could do this as a side by side with the time synchronized. Stihl audio on left speaker channel, Husqvarna on the Right.

Ноздря в ноздрю,класні i Hus, i Stihl

Like I figured. Probably minor design differences other than that same saw.

Great running saws.That 7900 would still eat them alive ... that things is a ringing beast

a fair test

love the blurb at the end of the video clears up the difference for sure thanks .great job on all your videos.

Good video . No bull just the simple basic facts .

There both nice saws I'd be happy with either one and I must say there much quicker than my 72" cross cut (2 man) saw. Tks 4 the vid #thatisall

Can't go wrong with either to be honest I have stihl and Husqvarna

Outstanding review. No BS here at all. Well done. 👍

Хорошее видео, пасиб за тест )

i bought a 462 as i knew someone and was able to get it for 900 i have a 562 husky and a 390 i have 15 gallons of gas through my 462 and so far so good.

Nice work, detailed times in comparison, good deal!

Excellent demonstration for comparing these excellent saws. Stihl seems slightly better and is a slightly lighter saw. What I don't understand is what does porting do to the engine and why would you alter the factory setting?

God that Husk sounds awesome🤘

I run the 572’ have better service here. Everything I run is husky! Used to run Stihl, hard to get parts now. I like them both!

Sthil 462 💪

Hey Dech, do you have a personal favorite between these two?

Ouch. If that was a cold saw at the start of the video, and it sure sounded cold, revving it full throttle 5 seconds after starting and going full power into big wood less than 20 seconds later is... well, abusive, in my opinion. Otherwise, well done, especially using the same bar and chain. I think the Husky is 71 cc's versus the Stihl's 77, and that would be an impressive showing for the Swede.

great video man. :) well done!

They both run damn good, and you handle them well. Just a little port work and muffler mod?

Excellent comparison!!!!!

What saw do you find yourself preferring?

Я вчера купил 462!!!

How long do ported chainsaws last ? Do they have a shorten live spans and do they either blow up and seize up ?

Do a video of those two vs the 7900

Throw a 32” bar and see who walks away.. 572- 39mm stroke will walk away with a long bar

Could get a ported 461 vs 572 they weight close to the same... 461 more cc but the weight.... 462 in this segment vs other saws that weigh the same is no contest

Outstanding .

I’ve cut timber 20 plus years , I’ve used both and husky hands down tougher , faster , lighter and A LOT LESS vibration to hands

File down the rakes about 3/32 of an inch and hold on. You will tear it up

I rather take something with a bigger bottom end in it and and that. so you know it will handle the power.

They are pretty close, the only difference is one is mostly made in PRC and the other one in Sweden.

Very fast finger on the accelerator

I would like to buy a 462 but my dad won’t let me because he doesn’t like supporting companies that are wholly owned by one rich family. He also won’t let me shop at Aldi for the same reason.

What saw has the fewest Chinese parts that’s the saw I will buy

Good work.

The real question is which one will last longer? ( under the same conditions)

i thing huqsvarna 572 is one of the best huqsvarna chainsaw, i prefer this from stihl 462 for long hours of work BUT I THIS BOTH COMPANY have exalent chainsaw ,IN SOME CATEGORIES STIHL have better chainsaw, in some huqsvarna

Mal eine Frage: Muss man das AutoTune ebenfalls komplett neu einstellen über einen Computer oder regelt sich das nach dem Porten von selbst richtig ein? Beim Vergaser ist es ja, mit dem richtigen Wissen, relativ einfach aber beim AutoTune stelle ich mir das schwieriger vor wenn es sich nicht von selbst komplett neu einstellt. Ich würde mal grob behaupten, dass das AutoTune seine Grenzen hat, daher meine Frage.

amadoua sunt bune....super tare merita ...

Should come down to wich one last longer. Longer lifetime wins?

I worked all day with a stick saw for years .all this porting does is take away what little power they have in the low end .The noise sucks and you get caught in Oregon is a 1000 dollars ticket every time other than that it's a cool video

Штиль в руках никогда не держал,и не хочу... никогда не был хороший пилой, раньше делали немцы у которых 1.5 га леса было,а сейчас делают китайцы от которых нельзя даже иголку покупать.....

Молодец, очень познавательный ролик, лайк.

Sthil le meilleur N 1

Ahhhh .... these gloves 😎 ....

Yep , yes sir. Ford vrs Chevy.

Stihl won

Basically the Stihl is lighter and slightly more powerful. The Husqvarna is built with more longevity in mind but gains a pound and has a little less power. Id take both, 18” on the Stihl and use it for in tree saw, 20” on Husky use it for a ground saw with my 25” 661c

Good 👍

Bravo Stihl 👏👏👍👍

Service after the sale...

I've not ported either yet 572 timed like a 562? Same cylinder design? Real short blow down?

🌲🌲🇧🇷🇧🇷👊👊 MS462👍👍

462 won !

Hi, what do you mean for "ported"? Thanks from italy

Nice‼Nice‼Nice♥

nice video :)

572 5.4 up and 462 6.0 hp

What do you mean by ported. You changed the exhaust ports?

Servus Stephan hätte mehr sägen zum porten

How much blow down on the 572 stock? And ported?

nice video

So the 572 and 462 take the same bar

462👊👊👊👊

Same chain not equal

Mua cho minh cai voi ah.

Poulan would beat them both lol

ชอบ​มาก​แรงสะใจ​ครับ​ชอบ​

porque montas la misma barra si el anclaje de stihl es distinto al de la husq, los esparragos de fijacion son mas gruesos los de la stihl-

What is the lengh of guide bar? 20" or more?

أريد ماطور ألماني حجم وصط

🌍🌙🌴☝👍

How much did they gain from porting? Which saw gains the most from porting?

Stihl 2cc bigger engine
