Trying out a Stihl MS 462 C 

Great comment mate,now I'm interested of buying the 462 but how efficient is the oiler ??? Kindly advise Gunter

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that next time 🙂

Awesome!

Thank you! I'm really glad you've found my videos helpful 🙂

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoy them, there are lots more on the way 🙂

Don't know til you try! But this saw is indeed outside of my comfort zone (for now) 😉

I wouldn't mind giving it a try if I get the opportunity 🙂

Thank you! I haven't had any real trouble with the toolless caps, but I'm wary because I've seen others with chain oil down their legs because of poorly closed caps. I think the key is just not to rush and make sure they're in properly 😉 Happy cutting to you as well!

Awesome! It really is, I'll definitely try it from the ground next time, thanks!

I really did enjoy cutting with it, in ideal circumstances I would love to use it again. Assuming I can get it started 😉

@@TheRealSarahCatherine how the starting going now?

Good idea! I'll try that next time, thanks!

It really is! Had a blast trying it out, just wish it wasn't so heavy.

@@TheRealSarahCatherine It’s the lightest 70cc class saw there is. Compared to older saws in this class it feels light. You should demo the ms400c next. That saw is more powerful than the 261 and lighter than the 462. 👍🏽

amen.....especially with a ported muffler!!

Thank you! Greetings to you as well 🙂

Thanks, you too 🙂

I bought one I like it

That is called a drop start. Not recommended as the compression of the saw can stop the recoil from spinning and the bar can pivot up from your hand and kick up into your face. This is not recommended in the owners manual. Best to use the suggested methods.

Yeah, I feel like those plugs are not the miracle of engineering they were meant to be. You're right, I definitely have an umpfff deficiency 😉 I''m starting to get a better handle on tension/compression, but this tree had fallen against another tree causing sideways tension as well, which I wasn't comfortable tackling just yet, especially with a saw I had never handled before. The 261C is my favorite so far, I'm saving my pennies 🙂

5000p/5105 up there!

@@TheRealSarahCatherine Like the A-Z of the alphabet and a dictionary - Compression comes before Tension. C comes before T. Compression first, Tension last. It matters not if you are felling a tree, cutting a single limb off a truck, bucking a log or delimbing you always work out what forces are at play and then plan based on Compression then Tension. I exhort you to watch the 17 part series on YT about chainsaw training by Worksafe Canada called BC Faller Training Standard. Watch and take notes. You don't have to be a faller or timber worker to watch this videos. You'll learn a lot and you'll be safer and more efficient. It's not just the letters C and T that you need to know. It's also the letter G. Gravity and how this works with C and T. All the best :-)

Wish I could, but I've tried to drop start and it really didn't work for me, I've got the bruise to prove it.

If u want to break the recoil work away. there's only two ways to start a saw and this isn't one of them.

I have an old stihl with the tooled caps, I love them.

I haven't ever tried a Husqvarna saw yet, but I'd like to. I'd be interested in checking out those caps. Thanks for watching!

@@TheRealSarahCatherine You would probably like the 545 mark ii. It starts real easy and has excellent throttle response.

@@viperstrike3827 I just bought a makita 7900 with a wrap handle and it has the old school caps and it is an old non computer saw design and for a pro saw it is cheaper then stihl or husqvarna and just as good

Thank you for the reply! If i needed a saw that size i would jump for it.

Yeah, not yet anyway, I'll have to do a lot more strength training before I feel ready for that 💪

@@TheRealSarahCatherine Yeah, When I saw them on the Store, I forgot that I need the Planned Model to buy, and started looking at them 😂😂😂🔥

@@TheRealSarahCatherine Actually the biggest is 881 from the Sthil 🤔🤔

Welcome! Glad you liked it 🙂

Such a bummer, all it takes is a bit of bad luck on a really cold winter day when the plastic gets brittle. The owner considered changing the cover, but he's about to replace the saw anyway as the warranty is expired and this one will become the backup. Thanks for watching!

And you should review wheelchairs.. keep up the attitude, something might happen to you

You should review your negative attitude and take it back to where you bought it and get a refund.
