MS462 Review

I think they will sell it alongside the 441 and 461. They sometimes sell the old model and the new model for a while.

First production saw?

Oleo-mac/efco had one several years back.

 

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, great that you can do so without arrogance and attitude. Speaks highly of your integrity

 

TS 500i STIHL Cutquik® in Kingwood, WV 26537 maybe testing the fuel injection on the cut off saws first ?

 

Being on a cutting crew on the coast . The outfit wants every faller to put in their full day on the trigger. Total production oriented. If you don't have a spare saw at least in the crummy( crew cab p.u. or short bus) or on your strip . And a spare bar that you keep with your gas camp. (Moveable location that's in the clear and where you keep your tramp sack and 1 set of gas and oil).
Your in trouble if a saw gets smashed, breaks down, or hung up.
Going to get your strip partner to buck you out don't fly but about once a month. Or (stump wrenching) was almost a fireable offense.
I always had 2 saws with me and another back at camp . Very few camps had a for sale saw shop at camp. Also, every faller had to be their own saw mechanic.

 

& it looks like jred had one back in the 50's. Who had the the first I don't know.

My days of cutting wood like that are long over. There was a time when I would cut 80-100 cord per week, but that was a long time ago.

I had a neighbor that once said, "I like cutting wood when I don't have too." There is a lot of truth to that.

I am hoping after this contract logger clears out, I can work the other parts of my woodlot to a park-like state.

 

That saw has been out for about 5 years or so. From what I remember it didn't work out so well.

 

Sometimes they do, other times they don't.

 

I take it that it was not very popular?

 

I know a guy that has one of those. If it holds up to him it will hold up for anybody. Since the cut off saws are in dusty conditions, they are a great platform to test fuel injection in.

 

I don't understand why they brought the 441 back and know the 462 is on the way.

 

thats how i figured it also and with the short life span on the concrete saws because of the dust you could compare the life of the carb versions and the fuel injected .
most people who run the concrete saws dont know how to tune a saw and just grab and go

 

Can you explain please?

 

??? Only thing I can think of is they had a stock they wanted to get rid of. Made no sense to me either.

 

Working on a saw at work.
When production timber falling . saws don't get fixed at work. They get fixed , chains sharpened ECT. After work when back at camp.
6 - 7 hours Trigger time. Not just being there.
A nice big stump makes a good bench.

 

Yep I am one of them!

I just hate to have a problem and be forced to drive home with only a partial load of wood. Plus in my experience if you have a spare you won't need it, but if you don't have a spare something will surely go wrong.

I agree some of us don't cut within 5 minutes of home
