I was drawn to this channel originally because of the video of making a clamp, in the woods, to sharpen your chain saw. Love the farming content also and it is good to see your brother back and making lumber jack videos again. Thank you
We don't always see proper PPE in demos, do we? However, I'm pretty sure that here in the States you need eye protection even if you are using the face shield.
In the nwt Canada we get these things going around minus 30 Celsius. Thin the bar oil with kerosene and leave the saw under your snowmobiles exhaust to warm it up.
I enjoy my stihlL 462 with a lite bar 28*, “ perfect. “ It was made for lite bars. At first got use to it. Had a 460, 461, now praise the Lord for thy StihL 462 “ 🙏 “
You tested this new chainsaw for a wide audience and I would expect them to gift you with it. You have done them a great service and deserve some compensation.
Yes the forrest season has begun on the Swedish Homestead, Really liked it, thanks for the review, only that price (1500,-)... Tim thanks for showing how a professional is using a chainsaw efficient and save.
I worked for the local dealer 25yrs ago. We sold stihl jonsered and husqvarna. By far stihl products were the best and still are. Never have any problems my 044 is 25yrs old and still going strong. I have ms044, ms180, fs450 brush saw and fs40 trimmer. Love them all hoping to get 2 more saws in the future.
Not sure if it's just the way he cuts or if everyone does it but I like how clean he makes the trunk when limbing the branches. I feel like it makes it easy for cutting the trunk into sections.
Had to watch your video, most likely to get one. I’m old school, adjustment I must make is getting a lite bar. Fantastic way to maneuver with a chainsaw. Thank you 🙏
So tempting, thank you so much for making this video. Last winter I was felling many smaller trees with my 435eii, largest ones being 70 ft but started running into larger trees (in terms of dbh). The saw while great for limbing shows some weakness and it takes quite longer than it should to buck up trees on the ground. Probably just doing more than it was designed to, a tank of gas won't even last half a tree for me haha.
@@Andrew-uh7bv I'd be really interested to hear what you don't like about the 462 in comparison to the 461? I'm kind of in the market and there are some 461s around.
We have the ms462 non m-tronic and had it professionally ported. It would blow this saw away but. If you took a ms461 and did the same work the 462 had done the 461 would blow the 462 away. This is not an opinion it's a fact.
Thanks for the review. I have a couple MS 441's with 36" bars and an 070 with a 48" bar here in Liberia. With the long bars, weight and balance are real issues. I'm planning to sell the 070 and get a smaller model with a 20" bar for limbs and smaller trees. Hopefully that will help save my arms and back!
Hey Guys. Good video. Do you have a favorite top handle saw? I do a lot of elevated work/climbing and looking to replace an old Echo (which are toys BTW)
Brought myself a ms462c few days ago and I'm loving it and making light work of ringing up logs with the 20inch bar but yes uses alot of gas pretty quick
I been playing around with getting a 661 or a 660 , but this my be a contender with a full wrap handle , some west coast dogs and a high flow air filter , would probably add a suga bar also.
I learn something every time I watch Tim cut wood. I know lots of folks like the cows & chickens, but you could do just fine with "Swedish Chainsawing".
I like your reviews . Straight too the point . I use a 461 with 28 es light bar . I cut a lot of large hard maple / oak etc . I actually use less fuel now than with smaller saws . 461 is fast and powerful saving time also . Not sure about that cover for breather and computer on 462 . Time will tell .
Another great video from the two brothers. From the Sierra Nevada mountains of California I would like to thank you two for making theses videos. I’m an occasional fir wood cutter and love my saws. I have been following your channel for along time now and always look forward to any videos you produce. I am in the market to replace my older 361 with this 462cm. Best wishes to all of your families Jeff Gregorius
Well I'm a husqvarna guy I've always been. I just got the stihl ms 362c for christmas, it wasnt on my christmas list but still a little surprised. I havent played with it yet but just by the weight and balance alone compared to my other saws especially the trigger response I'm starting to like it a little more than my Huskies. But we shall see how it does out in the timber field.
I was quite happy with my old 365SP until the other day when I used a 462.. It's weird, with one in each hand they feel the same weight (365 - 20" solid bar, 462 - 24" ES light). But in use the 462 felt feather weight, really, really nice.
Thanks for the review and for being clear and to the point. You hit on all the important facts all in less than 6 minutes. I can't tell you you many reviews I have watched where they waste a lot of time on absolutely nothing.
Nice...it floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee to quote an American boxer. Thanks, Simeon. I have a lot of respect for Stihl's products and German engineering as a whole.
Gentlemen, that was a very professionally done video! I especially enjoyed it because recently a large tree limb fell in my urban yard, and I'll need to rent a saw to deal with it. Of course, I will search your channel (and others) for tutorials and tips before using a chainsaw the first time.
Thanks. My MS 391 just went down hard and I'm looking at the 462 as an upgrade. I was pushing the limits of the 391 with a 25" bar, so it's nice to see this one did well.
you must never use your stihl, if you did, you would find that it is a piece of shit! all the hype of how great stihl is, bla bla bla My brand new stihl never ran!!! Stick with the cheaper and better quality brands!
I don't know the weight difference between the two. But hands down the ms461 is a better saw. No M tonics in it. And it's a 77cc saw. Ms 462 is 70 cc. The 461 hangs with the ms660 up to the last 300 rpm of the power band. That is where the 660 makes 1/4 hp more. Best bang for the buck is the MS461.
Your channel may be smaller than some, but has far and away more integrity, which to many of us is what actually makes it 'larger'. Much respect to your entire family.
Salutăm! Am si eu un Sthiil 251 sunt mulțumit de ea ! Exista un sistem mai simplu de ascutite a lanțului adica un sistem care se atașează pe lama si presat in ceva se ascute lanțul ?? Multumesc mult !
Your better off with something in the 80cc and up category. I use a stihl 064 on my Granberg mill with a 36" bar and it is a perfect combination of power and weight. The bigger saws have more low end torque and that helps them not overheat.
Great video. I had the Stihl 361 and loved it. But after seeing this video, I think if I were looking for a saw, I'd check the Stihl 462 out first if it's similar in weight. 😎👍
Looking forward to The Husqvarna review, very much I am a Husqvarna man myself for the last 30 years , never did I have a problem so far , so it will Be interesting to see the verdict from yourself 🐸👍🇫🇷🇮🇪
Hi ! thanks for your test, it helps young as me to get good working tools. But I have a question : Is this Ash ? Because the 572XP was tested on a birch, right ?
I can’t believe how little the dawgs are on that large of a saw. They’re way too small. Good news is it’s a cheap and easy fix. Looks like a really nice tool.
probably its becouse you are from US. Stihl saws are generaly made for European style of falling, bucking and limbing thats why the dawgs are cheap to replace. for US market theres also full wrap handle option.
Hi, interesting and nice review. I want say only one thing.... I've used some saw and i can say that Dolmar 7900, already 15-20 years ago had the best power weight ratio: 6,3 Hp for 6,1 kg 1,3 kg for KW.... I've Husky 562 xp and is the same weight...... only the size change... Dolmar is more fat and little less handly.... but use an 79cc with 6,3 HP with the same weight of a 59,8 cc mean that Dolmar have done a big project already 15 or more years ago.... Yes Sthil 462 is good product have a good power weight ratio but for who have know Dolmar 7900, don't is absolute novelty. Compliments to Sthil for compacting the body machine... But the big step will done from Sthil with the MS500 that will surpass the record held since today from DOLMAR 7900.... seams that will be the same weight of 462 but with 80CC engine and 6,8 HP that mean 1,24 KW for kg. versus 1,3 Kw for kg. held from 7900. thanks again for the review!!!
Hi. Great Video. I love the forestry Videos with Tim! If I would not have bought a Husqvarna 390 xp last year, the MS 462 would be a great option. Only thing is that i am not yet 100% convinced is that Software in a Saw is a good idea in the long term. I think that in case something fails in some years diagnosis would be only possible with a laptop and the repair would be expansive. But i am having a Volvo 940 from 1994 as a daily driver, so maybe i am not the reference here.... ;-)
I have the 90cc 064av stihl with 24" bar, and cut for a while with the ms462c, and couldn't believe how much lighter the 462c felt when compared to my 064av!
I was drawn to this channel originally because of the video of making a clamp, in the woods, to sharpen your chain saw. Love the farming content also and it is good to see your brother back and making lumber jack videos again. Thank you
Yes, it has been a while, but now he is back!!!
Saw Tim breaking down a tree next to a house, that was great ;)
Cool guy!
rlund3 that was my first video too haha operated my first chainsaw 2weeks ago ms261cm
no privacy my dad has a 023 laying around too. still works fine
Ear and face protection. Gloves. Helmet. Chaps. All the protection that is needed. I'm impressed.
We don't always see proper PPE in demos, do we? However, I'm pretty sure that here in the States you need eye protection even if you are using the face shield.
I love how Stihl chain saws start when it's -25 below zero.
I love how Stihl chainsaws start where I never have to deal with -25 below
I moved from Montana 4 years ago , my last winter there dropped to -45 and everyone uses Husqvarna.
I prefer stihl myself.
In the nwt Canada we get these things going around minus 30 Celsius. Thin the bar oil with kerosene and leave the saw under your snowmobiles exhaust to warm it up.
I enjoy my stihlL 462 with a lite bar 28*, “ perfect. “ It was made for lite bars. At first got use to it. Had a 460, 461, now praise the Lord for thy StihL 462 “ 🙏 “
Love mine!! 25" & 28" light bars work great! WCS bark box, 3 pt dawgs,& the updated uni filter...beast!
Antisemite
30 inch bar fit on your machine bro
Loved how Tim cut one-handed with a 24 inch bar almost like he was cutting a stick of butter. Impressive saw and operator! Thanks for the video.
I love it when you two get together to share information about something with us! Thanks
Stihl makes a 24” light bar as well. Awesome saw.
I have the 261 CM , I love it also, I was hesitating about the electronic models but so far so good! Thanks for the review!
You tested this new chainsaw for a wide audience and I would expect them to gift you with it. You have done them a great service and deserve some compensation.
We give it back to the local dealer tomorrow.
Yes the forrest season has begun on the Swedish Homestead,
Really liked it, thanks for the review, only that price (1500,-)...
Tim thanks for showing how a professional is using a chainsaw efficient and save.
That is Stihl’s recommended sales price. I am sure you could find noticably cheaper offers from dealers.
Most important feature of any chainsaw? A sharp chain
Brian JOnker A freezer
Sharp chain, clean air filter, fresh mix
Actually the most important feature of any chainsaw is that it runs!!!! my new stihl never ran! what garbage!!!!
Nope... the guy behind the handle:)
I worked for the local dealer 25yrs ago. We sold stihl jonsered and husqvarna. By far stihl products were the best and still are. Never have any problems my 044 is 25yrs old and still going strong. I have ms044, ms180, fs450 brush saw and fs40 trimmer. Love them all hoping to get 2 more saws in the future.
Love watching your brother working in your forest, he is truly an artist with a chain saw.
Not sure if it's just the way he cuts or if everyone does it but I like how clean he makes the trunk when limbing the branches. I feel like it makes it easy for cutting the trunk into sections.
Had to watch your video, most likely to get one. I’m old school, adjustment I must make is getting a lite bar. Fantastic way to maneuver with a chainsaw. Thank you 🙏
Watching a professional use tools as designed is a beautiful thing.
So tempting, thank you so much for making this video. Last winter I was felling many smaller trees with my 435eii, largest ones being 70 ft but started running into larger trees (in terms of dbh). The saw while great for limbing shows some weakness and it takes quite longer than it should to buck up trees on the ground. Probably just doing more than it was designed to, a tank of gas won't even last half a tree for me haha.
I still run an MS 440. Powerful saws!
I was going to get a 440 but instead decided on getting a newer was and got the 400, never powerful with the magnesium position 👍
I don’t care what they say the sthl 461 is a fricken beast
William Bentzen 461 is the best saw iv ever owned. Just bought a 462 and I’m not impressed at all
@@Andrew-uh7bv I'd be really interested to hear what you don't like about the 462 in comparison to the 461? I'm kind of in the market and there are some 461s around.
We have the ms462 non m-tronic and had it professionally ported. It would blow this saw away but. If you took a ms461 and did the same work the 462 had done the 461 would blow the 462 away. This is not an opinion it's a fact.
So is there a 70cc saw that wont handel a 24inch bar or a 28-32 inch bar?
Already more info in the first minute than some ten minute videos,good review guys thanks
Very nice video, short and to the point. Simeon, your brother's opinion is very valuable, thanks for sharing and thanks for your brothers knowledge.
I know. It is good to have him back with his inside and experience.
For Q&A: Why is sometimes a skip chain used? For what lengths of bar?
Does the 562 cm have a magnesium crankcase?
Heated handle? I got the MS 462 C and dealer said it wasn't heated. It's pouring rain today, only tested it for several minutes.
Here's the question, whitch one is better 572 husky or 462 sthil?
Thanks for the review. I have a couple MS 441's with 36" bars and an 070 with a 48" bar here in Liberia. With the long bars, weight and balance are real issues. I'm planning to sell the 070 and get a smaller model with a 20" bar for limbs and smaller trees. Hopefully that will help save my arms and back!
Tool to access the air filter? Am I seeing that right?
I like the way you set up your shots. Just got a ms 462c. Thinking I want to put a bark box on it. Any suggestions?
Hey Guys. Good video. Do you have a favorite top handle saw? I do a lot of elevated work/climbing and looking to replace an old Echo (which are toys BTW)

Thoughts on this saw with a 28” bar?
I been playing around with getting a 661 or a 660 , but this my be a contender with a full wrap handle , some west coast dogs and a high flow air filter , would probably add a suga bar also.
Easier to handle than your other two options.
what oil do you use in the mixture
I learn something every time I watch Tim cut wood. I know lots of folks like the cows & chickens, but you could do just fine with "Swedish Chainsawing".
I'm shopping for a new chainsaw, so this video was useful to me.
Thanks for taking the time and trouble to record and post it.

Thank you, a German in Sweden telling an American (me) which saw is Better : Swedish vs German !!
😂😂😂😂😂
He hasn't said which one is better yet.
This video was key to selling me on this saw as a bigger felling saw. Going to miss these reviews once you move away from the farmstead :(
Does this saw have the fast idle like the 562 Husqvarna?
When would you test 572xp?
What’s the biggest size bar you can install? Also for chainsaw milling, what saw would you suggest? Great video. Thanks
You'll have to wait for Wranglerstar to review it if you want to see the longest bar it will run.
Hugh Brackett heh, that got a chuckle out of me!
Can i know the size of piston ring of ms 462? And will the piston ring of ms 381 of 52mm fit as the piston ring of ms 462?
Thank you & your Brother for that very good Demo . I really like the way you share with us here in the USA 🇺🇸
Thanks for the review and for being clear and to the point. You hit on all the important facts all in less than 6 minutes. I can't tell you you many reviews I have watched where they waste a lot of time on absolutely nothing.

Does the job efficiently, feels sturdy. The best I have found for the price.
You guys did a great job with the review of this saw! It would be fun to test how it performs next to the 572. Great job! Thanks for taking the time.
sumbscribe me ??
O parere dintre stihl.ms 462 si husq572xp pe care o recomandati . Multumesc frumos
I am so glad they made the side cover nuts stay on, awesome upgrade
How much
Great review, thanks guys. I just brought an MS362C and love it. Heaps of power and the weight it nice. Love these videos!
Thanks. My MS 391 just went down hard and I'm looking at the 462 as an upgrade. I was pushing the limits of the 391 with a 25" bar, so it's nice to see this one did well.
Why does the chain saw need to be in position 1 once turned off ?
Currently rocking a Husqvarna 460 for my tree business. I really want something wicked for those big Carolina pines. I’m thinking 85cc or larger.
I’m a Stihl man 👍
you must never use your stihl, if you did, you would find that it is a piece of shit!
all the hype of how great stihl is, bla bla bla My brand new stihl never ran!!!
Stick with the cheaper and better quality brands!
I’m a Stihl man, too. Jeff hates me.......never mind.
Jeff Bang Would take the Stihl and I‘m using it very often
Damn, I want one!
how much of a weight difference between 462 and 461? i just bought a 461 then they upgrade
I don't know the weight difference between the two. But hands down the ms461 is a better saw. No M tonics in it. And it's a 77cc saw. Ms 462 is 70 cc. The 461 hangs with the ms660 up to the last 300 rpm of the power band. That is where the 660 makes 1/4 hp more. Best bang for the buck is the MS461.
Hope the Stihl company is paying you brothers! Amazing advertising you do for their product.
They don't, like we mentioned in the video. We are way to small of a channel for anyone to be interested in that.
Your channel may be smaller than some, but has far and away more integrity, which to many of us is what actually makes it 'larger'. Much respect to your entire family.
Nice saw, im really looking forward to the new ms 500i.
Hope that one is broken in already. My new one says run for 5 hours before running full throttle.
Gunning it full throttle on start up is the sign of an amateur, those who know what they are doing will warm it up for a few minutes first.
Salutăm! Am si eu un Sthiil 251 sunt mulțumit de ea ! Exista un sistem mai simplu de ascutite a lanțului adica un sistem care se atașează pe lama si presat in ceva se ascute lanțul ?? Multumesc mult !
Is a chainsaw like this strong enough for use with a chainsaw mill?
Your better off with something in the 80cc and up category. I use a stihl 064 on my Granberg mill with a 36" bar and it is a perfect combination of power and weight. The bigger saws have more low end torque and that helps them not overheat.
Yeah, you pretty much want the biggest saw you can get your hands on for milling.
With a 25” STIHL Light bar on it - it’s a best saw in the World. Balance is Perfect. Power is Perfect. Everything is Perfect.
Great video. I had the Stihl 361 and loved it. But after seeing this video, I think if I were looking for a saw, I'd check the Stihl 462 out first if it's similar in weight. 😎👍
Looking forward to
The Husqvarna review, very much I am a Husqvarna man myself for the last 30 years , never did I have a problem so far , so it will
Be interesting to see the verdict from yourself 🐸👍🇫🇷🇮🇪
Is Sally impressed with the saw?
ive been contemplating this saw now as something a little more powerful than my 361. cant wait for the husky review
Really enjoyed your review I own an older 025 & a farm boss. Wanted to upgrade to the,361 but that saw seems faster response.
are so happy with this chainsaw🙌🏻
I use a 24'' bar on my MS661c and that combo has perfect balance. So the 20'' bar on this saw is probably also perfect.
I have 460 Magnum with a 32" bar & chain it gets the job done.
Awesome video gentleman God bless you and your beautiful families 😇👍👍👍🙏❣️
Hi ! thanks for your test, it helps young as me to get good working tools. But I have a question : Is this Ash ? Because the 572XP was tested on a birch, right ?
It's probably Populus tremula (European aspen).
Very cool review. Use Stihl products! Always wanted a 441 haven't justified one yet though for working around the place.
Great review - just ordered one a few weeks ago.
Tell your brother it's ok to smile once in awhile :) , great review , I noticed it has a compression release and it seemed to pull easier than some .
We just smile a couple of times in our lives in Scandinavia. We try to make it count.
Will this be offered in the US? Looks awesome.
I have the 461 mag,and I love it,I had the 660 mag,and it was great but really heavy
Great video. Good to have you guys back.
When’s the Husqvarna 572 and the Sthil 462 comparison video coming out
Husky's eat Stihl's. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. 😲
Just bought mine yesterday with a 28 inch bar :) $1300 colorado
Can you make a test on the fuxtec saw they are on a much lower price.
I doubt he will do that, a knock off chainsaw has no place on here.
I can’t believe how little the dawgs are on that large of a saw. They’re way too small. Good news is it’s a cheap and easy fix. Looks like a really nice tool.
probably its becouse you are from US. Stihl saws are generaly made for European style of falling, bucking and limbing thats why the dawgs are cheap to replace. for US market theres also full wrap handle option.

I have the 461.. now thinking of getting the 462..
Hi. Great Video. I love the forestry Videos with Tim!
If I would not have bought a Husqvarna 390 xp last year, the MS 462 would be a great option.
Only thing is that i am not yet 100% convinced is that Software in a Saw is a good idea in the long term. I think that in case something fails in some years diagnosis would be only possible with a laptop and the repair would be expansive. But i am having a Volvo 940 from 1994 as a daily driver, so maybe i am not the reference here.... ;-)
Nice review! I liked the throttle response comparison
Thanks for the review. Very interesting!
Stihl is best!
Simo K. I agree
You right!
stefano della maddalena Stihl is the best
Harvey Gibbons i have more than fourteen stihl equipment !
stefano della maddalena that's amazing don't stop loving Stihl
Short & simple! Nice review guys!👍
когда*.. гайки у шины будут без ключа затягиваться?
Really liked it. Made me want one.
Nice Video! Thanks for the feedback!
I hope Stihl realizes the market value of this and decides to support your good cause, in one way or another.
I hope we can get both saws in the US. I have several European models of Husky and love them.
I have the 90cc 064av stihl with 24" bar, and cut for a while with the ms462c, and couldn't believe how much lighter the 462c felt when compared to my 064av!
