I really like the tells you use, the wedge in this video and your axe in others. When your tell moves you know the tree is moving and which way. Very clever! Just got my 462 R C last week and I am very pleased with it. Starting this new saw is a breeze! Love your videos!
I have a ms462 non-mtronic. It's been ported (not to the extent of this saw) run a 28" bar on it. Pretty good saw, I'm happy with it. Like the 461r better.
These videos never get old .thanks for posting this jack. I was wondering if you ever send a climber up to top a tree that you now is going to break and if so how do i get that job LOL.
Really hoping I can get a large clutch/bar cover with large mudflap chip deflector soon. I have large covers for my 462’s but only come from Madsens with small deflector. Sends the chips all over me and 15 ft behind me. Would rather it dump the chips at my feet instead. No offering from stihl yet they tell me. Put the 660 or 661 cover on my 362c and it works great.
Nicely done. That's a heck of a saw right there. I use a husq 445 with Oregon versacut, but I mainly cut firewood and tree removal for customers. I have cut big tree's with it. You make a decent living with that saw, cutting Big tree's daily. Good job.
as I've learned always reel in that tape before I start cutting, I dunno how many hook ends I"ve lost from that tape reeling in hot and whipping it straight into my chain
I wonder if they're will be a "North American" version of the 462 or if that design will more or less be the replacement for the domestic market when the 461 is retired? The thing sure gets some RPM quick, but it seems a bit lacking for a real 461 replacement. Still, for a fast revving saw in smaller wood, especially if it's some gnarly limbed stuff that 462 will kick butt. The light weight is also nice if you're throwing it around a lot. It would be curious to get ahold of the standard carb version to see what it would do, but who knows how long a non-electronic version will be in production these days. Always a treat to get to watch you fall and that 462 sure turned out nice.
Mr. Speed - My best guess is that they will introduce a west coast version with a full wrap handle, "big kid" clutch cover, with a set of bucking spikes that will work on trees with thick, left coast, type bark in the US sometime around the first of the year. Of course there will also be the 1/2 wrap, mini dawg & mini, "tough guy looking" clutch cover option as well. There is a standard version non m-tronic (adjustable carb but limited coil) released in a few countries around the world already. My suspicion is that we will not see that version stateside, but I would really like to be wrong there. From my understanding, the 461 and 441 are both being "replaced" by the 462. I've heard tell of the 461 being heavily discounted already in a few other countries. The 462 is not a direct replacement for the 461, imho, though. They suffer a little down low for the same reason they the have insta-rrrs. The 462 does have an application that will be hard for the 572 to beat - steep, gnarly, and/or brushy ground where the wood is a little smaller on the stump - and/or the super hairy trees where "flick-a-bility" is a must. I made up the Oregon lw 30" bar and used it quite a bit. It's a excellent combination of balance with the weight of the b & c, enough reach to handle a fairly large diameter tree/s, along with the quick pick-up but a mostly top-end powerband. By God's grace I will end up with one. Thank you.
There are several 661 videos, both m-tronic and non m-tronic, on this channel. All but one is with a 3' bar & chain. If you have the time, checking them out would yield a pretty good idea for you I think. Thanks for watching.
Liam's hi. It is re/second growth, yes. I never counted the growth rings on any of the trees in this unit. It I had to guess, it would be between 50 and 70 years based on it's size. Thanks for watching.
@@hotsaws101 Blood moon tonight @ around 3am .clear skies . If the red wood is soft how come it breaks worn teeth on the chain as you mentioned before . Thanks
Hi Jack, is there any reason why you used the Husky chain on the saw and not the Stihl version that the saw would have been supplied with? Did you have to replace the sprocket to run the Husky chain? - Keep well and thanks for the great content.
Ben hi. This saw was not supplied with a 30" Oregon lightweight bar. Stihl chain has a different tooth profile than the Husky (Oregon) chain. I can get Oregon (this version Husky) chain to cut better than the Stihl chain in all but one application. Thanks for watching.
Razaman hi. This saw is done up about as far as it can go. Psy-Ko S zipkit I guess it would termed. I did not think it sounded "stock" and it definitely doesn't lag getting through the cuts like a stocker.... Thanks for watching.
Yeah nothing like watching a tree fall from 30 feet away through brush and forest litter. Sarcasm. Keep the helmet cam! I like the close up of what you are doing, like the angels of the cut and how you seem to make undercuts and back cuts match perfectly every time. I like seeing how you size up the fall from a POV perspective. We can hear you talk better also.
Nice saw! Your abilities to drop trees with precision on a regular basis is most impressive. God Bless, be careful!
Yesss, more 462 vids please!

Your videos are addicting. I love your energy and respect you have for the trees.
Amazing skill on both the felling and the maximization of that saw👏🏽

461 1 r ?
I have a 461
Why do you like the 461 better?
Thank you for shareing love to wach and learn from you Jack be safe and. God bless you ✌
Masterful! You didn't even scratch any of the little trees. You always amaze me.
Love ur 462c videos wish could have done some felling with zip kit ms362
That is a perfect saw an bar combo love it !!!!
Very nice combo. Saw seems to handle the bar well. Another great video.👍
This guy is a Surgeon
Nice shot. Must have been fun maneuvering those long logs out of there.

I’m sports a 046 magnum 30” Oregon bar with full comp :))
Really enjoy your videos
awesome video
Nice undercut

I sometimes reel it in. But, you are right. Most often you want the tape in spool...
Thanks for watching.
Nice shirt jack
been looking everywhere and can't seem to find 30" Oregon lightweight bars. where'd you find them?
Kyle hi.
This was my creation. N/A from the factory.
Thanks for watching.
@@hotsaws101 wow, rad!
is that saw for sale 😍 Holy macaroni!

Part number for that bar!?! Iv been trying to find a 30" light weight.
Victor hi. There is no part number because Oregon doesn't make a 30" lw bar. I am responsible for it. Thanks for watching.
@@hotsaws101 any info about how to go about making one jack? Sure i can figure it but if someone's done the thinking for me.....
Victorious victor buckin can’t help ya?
Any thoughts on how a 661 would pull a 36? And what should I do to the saw to run a full comp on it?

Is that regrowth and how old is the red wood ?
Great saw .

U sell those 30" bars
@Hotsaws101 you don’t specify what mods have been done ... what have you done, or is it stock?
Razaman hi. This saw is done up about as far as it can go. Psy-Ko S zipkit I guess it would termed. I did not think it sounded "stock" and it definitely doesn't lag getting through the cuts like a stocker.... Thanks for watching.
hotsaws101 Thanks for the info, your hearing is much more attuned than my novice ears
👍
Hey Jack. How did you get your hands on a 462? Are they available in the US yet?
Christopher hi. Not available just yet it seems. Look for one late this year or early next. Thanks for watching.
I run 18 an 20 inch bars for more rpm but most my wood I cut don't get over 3 ft on the but .
Is it just me or did you say poop at 4:43?
5:43* I think he said oops
Surgical.
That saw seems to eat wood very quickly.
I love the video but I hate the helmet cam. Can you please go back to just putting to cam on a stump. They were way better.
Yeah nothing like watching a tree fall from 30 feet away through brush and forest litter. Sarcasm. Keep the helmet cam!
