    You guys are awful tough on person. Checking this site over my lunch break......now I wanna go buy one. :headbang: Somebody tell my wife I'm gonna be late for dinner tonight. "Saw, what saw? No dear, that's always been in the garage."

    I always buy the same color saw. :whistle: Easier to hide when another comes home. :thumbs: And never give an exact count on how many you have.:)

    When I was saw shopping the 462 was still fairly new. All my dealer had was the computer carb one, I think for about 1200$. I went with the last 461 they had in stock. Couldn’t be happier.

    I kept the Oiler on the E setting.. seemed to be fine. I did not notice any issues with over heating. Think I should have turned it up for the 28in bar? What setting do run the 20”? I will swapping to the 20 soon for normal use.

    I have mine turned up the whole way(max) but I have been cutting a lot of dead dry ash with the 20. I think with the 28 I would run it the same way. Not to make this an oil thread lol but I guess it depends on what brand of oil you run. I have be using Itasca for the last several years. Running at max I use about 3/4 tank of oil to a tank of fuel.
