Definitely do the foam filter. It made a huge difference. I'm waiting on the new cover as well seeing the stock one is small and clogs up pretty quick when I use my Alaskan mill. Also should help drop the chips down and not shoot them 15feet behind me. Love my 462 and all of WCS upgraded. Going do the new suspension kit as well as I run a 32 bar and tends to bottom out but it pulls a Oregon skip tooth just fine on the 32" I run a full house on the 25" and she eats. Make sure your running good gas also that makes a huge difference, I do 40:1 with VP 2 stroke synthetic mix with 95 octane ethanol free gas.
Upgrade to the foam WCS filter will help your ms462 breath and perform better
Great upgrades for the 462. I love the sound. 😀👍
I love it too!
I just bought my 462 the other day and I love it. After watching this video I think I might upgrade more than just a bigger bar. Thanks for the ideas.
Sweet saws!
Add the foam filter it makes a big difference.open up the top plastic around the air box ,in other words make a vent for it to breath .great channel thanks for the videos.
Almost reminds me of my hot rod days and headers.
Lol, just reminds me of high school trucks and putting flow masters on them.
Beastmode! You’re doing a great job with your channel and content, I never get bored! You cover all the things that are important to me. I get a ton of ideas from watching. Keep up the great work!!
Appreciate the feedback and supporting the channel! I'll do my best to always keep the content fresh!
When you get chickens can use the sawdust for them.
The sound difference 👌
Lovely piece of equipment
i was just thinking about getting these three things and now you have convinced me.
thanks and great video 👍👍
and congrats on the 1 million views and its great to watch ya doing all this stuff
Thank you for the support and sticking with the channel!
Bought a 462 late in '22. Just put the big stihl dogs on it. Your right, had to size the dog on the cover to fit! The thing i noticed the most about the original dog is it made my saw pull slightly to the right. I assume this was because it was a single dog.
The new aggressive dogs that stihl says is a "option", fixed that problem. Good video, enjoyed it!
excellent "discovery" with rocking the saw. Glad I stuck around for that. Well done!
I was shocked to see the difference, most people comment its faster to let the saw work.
@@TKCL data don't lie
Great video as always and some great upgrades. I need to do those upgrades to my saw. Thanks Andrew.
Made a big difference to me, especially the new dogs.
I've been running a ms441c for 10 years and it's been a great saw. It's a little heavier and slower than a 462,but gets the job done. I've opened up the muffler some and run a 28" bar on it. It does great cuttin our big red oak around here in West Virginia. I've gotta tune it up soon and get me a new 2 in 1 file and hopefully I'll get to order West coast saws 3 point dawgs. I'm still splitting 4-5 cord of wood a year by hand and would really love a log splitter in a year or two. Love your videos, keep it up
Stihl makes a great product for sure.
LOL when you fired it up with the bark box on it I made the EXACT same face you did! Sounds SO much better with that box on it! I'm getting a 462R CM soon.. I'm going to pre-order those dogs and the box and I'm putting them on immediately.
Enjoy that new saw
Upgrades look good, and helps performance too! 👍
I love the upgrades
Yes rocking the saw is faster for sure
I was shocked at the difference!
Rocking with the new dogs. Super fast. Good work and stay safe
They bite!
wow that this is way faster now. and looks like a stud of a saw with those new dogs. love the sound
The dogs are a must have accessory in my mind, the exhaust was not necessary, but I love it!
The dogs look like a great upgrade and simple enough for even me to do. Glad to see you looking for a good use for the noodles. I try to do most of my cutting in the same general location. I cut everything into log lengths in the woods, stack the logs for storage on cross ties and pull them out and cut as needed and when it is too wet to get in the woods. I mostly add the saw dust I generate to the compost pile. I have a huge compost pile--2 bays side by side each 12 feet by 32 feet. I also keep a bucket in the garage and use it as oil dry. Congratulations on the success of your channel. I look everyday for a new video and I really enjoy your entertaining and informative content.
Thank you for the kind feedback! Boy I wish I had compost piles as big as yours. Once we get animals, I plan to make larger compost piles.
@@TKCL Mine are mostly leaves and grass clippings. I live a wooded area and I get the leaves off my yard and 2 of my neighbors. I move the piles around a little with my the bucket on my BX. In theory I move them from one bin to the other but both bins are full now. I garden exclusively in raised beds. I have 9 x 4X12 3 2x6 high and 5 x 4x16 3 2x6 high. I usually end up with more compost than I need. It has become just anothe excuse to play with my toy tractor
I started growing in raised beds exclusively last year and I'm blown away by how much you can produce in such a small space.
Love the new dogs and that bark box really beefed up the sound. Doesn't wine and kind of roars now. Love it!
Iove both upgrades myself, those dogs are a definite must have upgrade.
I really like those upgrades you did , I've been enjoying your videos keep them coming .
Thanks! Plenty more coming
Thanks to your video my Bark Box is ordered.
Ok Andrew that was great loved the upgrade to your saw I have a 440
Thanks, I love the way its set up now.
My logging buddy put a bark box on his 661c it seems like it made it cut faster but you don’t want to stand very close with earplugs. The noodles work good for animal bedding when it’s dry
That's been a popular recommendation for the noodles. I saved some for fire starting material. The bark box is louder for sure, luckily I always work alone.
Awesome saw Andrew! Now you'll need a full wrap for that beauty. I like mine, keeps it from tipping over in the bed of my pickup.
Very nice! I'm actually surprised at how well the new dawgs are holding up and supporting the saw. Can definitely tip of though
Awesome video and I’m going to find those add ons for my saw keep up the great videos.
Thanks, West Coast Saw is the company I ordered them from.
Nice review, just ordered a bark box and filter for my 462 from West Coast Saw. Itching to try it out!
Cheers!
It sounds mean! I still really enjoy the upgrades.
Nice! Looks and sounds like a beast now.
It is, I love this saw!
Man that saw sounds and looks so much better with the new mods.
I agree, I absolutely love it
I have enjoyed your videos. Hoping your channel continues to grow.
Thank you very much for the support
First time to your channel. I enjoyed the simple mods to increase the performance of the 462. Nice work on the rounds, now time to get your mail out!
Thank you for watching
I noticed when the dawgs hooked , it cut like butter , saw sounds mean too , keep the videos coming brother, god bless
Thanks, God bless you too! It's a really big difference on how much better the saw cuts with just the dawgs actually biting in and letting the saw work.
Love the upgrades Big Dawg!
Thanks, makes the saw perfect!
Thing sounds sweet nice upgrades
Thanks, Iove it!
Great video man. Just like everyone else I like the upgrades for what it’s worth. Looks like you liked them too. Cutting and splitting is hard enough work so upgrades like that can make the work just a little big easier.
That saw makes the work far easier than my smaller saw does. Underpowered equipment tends to work the operator harder.
I agree 100%
Great video man ! Enjoyed the watch
Thanks for watching
I got the eagan straight shot muffler love it
That thing makes some SERIOUS wood “chips”, and a lot of them! They would work perfect in our horse stalls, good looking stuff.!
Yep or for chickens as a lot of other people have suggested. I saved some for fire starting material.
We use them for our chicken coops too. Awesome bedding for nesting boxes.
excellent upgrades.
Glad you like them!
Ok did the same exact upgrades to my 462cm! Wow I've got a 20 on it but my goodness! The dogs do seriously shorten the cutting length! Be going to a 24 I have. But what a difference
Its just a beast of a saw with those upgrades. It's absolutely perfect and I can't see needing anymore power for the cutting I do.
Might want to try Egan straight shot exhaust!
Nice! I'm gonna go check out that website. Im going to look at mods for my saws. Great work bud.
Thanks, I'm loving the add ons.
That snap ring was a PITA huh? I have same saw with the foam filter and love it. Nice vid
I just upgraded to WCS clutch cover it has the captive bar nuts ! I got the 462 version as you , mine has the wrap handle and it also the WSC bark box I run a 28 up to 36 inch bar ! I'm also planning on getting the red beard or WCS foam air filter someday ! I have the Egan 3 point falling dogs !
Nice setup!
Great upgrades!
Thanks, been running them for over a year with zero issues.
Take a black Sharpy marker and cover yellow paint on Dawgs every now and then.
Great improvements 🪵👍😎👏
Thanks!
@@TKCL plan on doing the, almost exact same thing, once I find out I can add the Bark Box and still have the full warranty 👍🪵🔥🍻
When you put on those larger dogs on it reminded me of what Batman’s MS462C would look like!
Lol!
The noodles are great for easter baskets
I grabbed a 462 CM VW this summer and it came with monster felling spikes on it, I'm actually thinking about getting smaller ones
It sounds great
I love it
That's a banger now!
I love it!
Awesome video, my saw is on order!
Have fun!
Great sound with the new muffler.
I love it!
Love your videos.
Appreciate you watching thank you!
westcoast saw makes some of THE best products
Great job.
Thanks
I don’t care if it faster or not! It sure sounds like a beast.
That's right! I was dead set I was keeping it since it sounded so good, faster or not.
We both had the same facial expression when you started to saw with the new muffler 👍😁.
I LOVE it!
Saw sounded really good with the new muffler installed take care brother.
I love it! Take care
Nice DAWGS!
Greetings!
Need to take the old catch off.
Bolts go from the other way. Nuts should be on the outside.
Thanks for tip, I'll do that!
Nice upgrades!!! The muffler sounded great on startup. The 462 is the top of the goldilocks size and 400c at the bottom IMHO. Rather have too much than not enough power when you need it.
100 percent agree! It's a beast of a saw at a manageable weight.
If you get chickens in the future the saw chips/dust and noodles would be great as bedding. The mix of chicken manure and wood chips makes a great compost.
That's been a popular suggestion today, something I'll definitely remember. Thanks
Sure like the new dogs, they really bite!
Yes they do, finally! Those factory dogs are pitiful.
Oh yeah, those dogs look badass
Yes they completely change the look of the saw!
nice upgrades.
Thanks
The chainsaw chips or shavings whatever you want to call it makes the best firestarter I've ever seen. Take a 5 gallon bucket and fill it half way with shavings. Then pour a couple gallons on kerosene in with it and let the chips soak it up stirring occasionally. It will turn in to a paste. When u wanna make a fire smear some on 1 of your logs and light it. Will blow your mind and making an awesome fire starter from scrap. I use to bucket it up in one gallon pales and sale it. Even took some of the little fruit cup holders u remember from school and filled them up and sold them as fire starters. Just set it in the fire and light it. I sold them for a dollar each years ago. You could sale them with your firewood. Just a thought.....awesome mods to the chainsaw!!! Sounds freakin awesome .....
Awesome! The noodles make great fire starter too. I'll try your idea.
Did the same thing to my 500 and my 362. The factory dawgs are a complete joke. Put the same bark box on my 500i .. haha sounds like a drag saw.
Very impressive Andrew. I'll stick to my 51 husky, lol
Lol, to each his own!
That saw looked nice before, now it's just wicked .
It's setup perfectly now
I have a ms 500i with a bark box my nabers love it haha
Lol if I was your neighbor I'd enjoy it 😁
Nice upgrade.
Thanks, I'm loving it
That saw is looking tougher with those new dogs!
It definitely looks better and bites better
The new muffler sounds quieter but deeper on video. That is a sweet saw!
It's actually louder, but does have a deeper tone with a pop. Almost sounds like a ported hot saw. Well in my mind anyway. I hear less bogging with it, so it sure feels like it's pulling harder. Take care
@The Kelly’s Country Life -around here where I’m from in Canada we save the saw dust and noodles for livestock bedding . Works fantastic . Many ppl bag it up and sell it for a few bucks
That's definitely a good idea. I saved some and it's already dry enough that I started my smoker and fire pit with it yesterday.
Oh man, I want one!
I dreamed about one for over two years, just waiting to justify one. I don't regret the purchase at all
I don't remember if you mentioned it but every time you add a new performance upgrade you need to recalibrate the saw.
That is a mean upgrade! Really sounds good. looks like its kicking out some top ramen. (cup o noodles) great video!
Ramen lol, that's a good way of putting it. I might have to borrow that line.
Your chips are excellent. Andrew i don't like making things louder thought...just disturbs more people. But if you enjoy that's great.
I usually don't myself, but no neighbors right near me. Just disturbing the squirrels lol.
@@TKCL no explanation needed i watched your entire video. I off road ride and use to fly remote control planes and we lost rails and flying fields due to modified mufflers. Stay warm...23' in Buffalo.
We. Love the videos bro keep them coming
Thanks, appreciate you watching!
That thing eats. Probably upgrading to 462 in the future
It's an amazing saw, honestly it's got more power than I was ever expecting. That's a good thing
I know little of what you are doing but I’m watching this video ya got lot of land to plant trees
I've already planted thousands of trees about 7 years ago. The rest is pasture for future animals.
Bad ass it was . Amazing.. keep that back healthy .. great video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks, I'm loving how the saw is set up now! Perfect!
I find myself watching your older videos man and watching one now of you clearing brush beside wood rack so you can extend the wood rack . Lol
Awesome, I sometimes watch my older videos to see the progress. RUclips to me is like picture albums everyone use to keep around their homes. It's a great way to look back.
@@TKCL Absolutely..
Mr Andrew you got a new toy and you just can't stop playing with it! I couldn't stop either. like you said Carnage everywhere
Love that saw
You turned her into a light saber! Also those "noodles" make great bedding for rabbits or other critters.
Bedding has been a popular response, can't wait until we get animals.
good job
5 K congrats brother! 10 K will come up fast, hide and watch :-)
Thanks, I certainly hope it does
One of the best chainsaw videos I've seen and I've seen a LOT. straight to the point and your reasoning for the upgrades totally make sense, love how you explained how the saw is getting beat up with the Lego factory spike (singular).
I also agree they should come with beefy dual dogs and a roller catcher.
I just bought a 462 a few days ago, I always opt for non- mtronic cause I like to do the tuning, and if I have a problem I don't have to bring it to the dealer to get plugged in like a car.
I did what you did before I stumbled on your video. I got the West Coast Saw double dogs/spikes but the 3 point ones, no paint, and they just caught my eye more, bark box, and roller catcher. Saw is still in box, no gas in er till I get the upgrades.
WCS claims the bark box also keeps saw running cooler too.
I also bought a new ms261 a few years ago, the newer slimmer version with slightly more hp, diff cylinder design if remember right.
The clutch cover on the newer 261's come with pre drilled recessed holes to run dual dogs/spikes which I upgraded to and it does handle better. It's a screamer and I can cut through 20" ash green or dry like butter. I like the 261 so much I bought a second one a week ago haha. Those as well are not mtronic. I ordered West Coast Saw "universal" muffler mods for them too. People will probably laugh at why I would do that to a 50cc saw. But I'm telling ya, it's a mean little saw, especially if tuned right and keep chain razor sharp.
One other thing I did on all these saws was upgrade the "green" laminated bars to "yellow" solid steel bars, more heavy duty and have a wider nose which is supposedly better for bore cutting.
And of course I run RS full chisel "yellow" non-safety chain. Cuts much much better than the "green" chain I first had. Just gotta filer er a little more often but to me it's worth it.
Oh, also wanted to say I was very impressed that you had on all the appropriate safety gear on, ears, chaps, safety glasses, gloves, and looks like steel toe boots.
0:01 I've seen so many people cutting in shorts and shoes, even SANDALS! Plus no eye,ear, hand protection, and some not even wearing a hard hat when felling 🤦🏼♂️.
Great video!👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the kind words! I absolutely love my 462, but that 261 is the perfect firewood saw in my opinion. Very light, nimble and surprisingly powerful.
I heard the 462 has a heated handle model? Self personality heated handles 24 in light bar. I think that would be a good combo
if you can look into an Oregon power match bar and chain
Just bought a tsumara bar for it
I ordered dogs for my 462. The screws were too long not allowing my side cover to go back on. I cut the screws down. After going through all of that, I realized that I could have ran the bolts from the inside. Lol
Lol, yep the bolt heads are the same size as the nuts. Mine were the perfect length.
I had the foam filter for awhile on my 500.. i ended up going back to the stock filter because the foam filter is a pain.
I like the factory filter.
why is it a pain?
Barker like going factory Harley to ground pounders. Not sure if I’m all impressed with the impact on performance.
Just ordered my mufflers for my sm170- ms211- and ms271. Thanks for making me spend my stimulus money 🤑💰 lol 🤘
Lol, enjoy them!
Where did you find one for your 271? I talked to west coast saws and they don’t make one for the 271. They sent me a link for a small piece that goes inside the muffler. A universal adaptor.
did you every switch to the oil able foam filter if so dose it give the saw more power
Nope still running the factory filters.
I figured you were going to put green dogs on when you said you liked the color. Now you have to paint your tractor.
Lol, don't think that would look all that great.
@@TKCL never know til you try...
a lot throw to your sound on that BarkBox exhaust
With loosing the length on adding longer dawgs maybe need a longer bar and chain 😉
Lol, oh lord here we go spending my money again!
I want one my 026 pro just getting old and thinking the 462 is the one
I have a 260 pro and a ms462. Night and day difference!
Hey where did you get that peg board? Love the organized shop.
