You have some really nice logs to test out your new beast of a saw. Very, very sweet saw. She pulls and pushes and over time you will hardly notice it. The only time you may not like it as much is when you are sharpening it, there are a lot more teeth than the 261. One thing to note is that when you are bending over the log to see the tip you don't want to be throttling because if the tip comes into contact with the ground or the log pinches it you may experience some severe kickback with your face and or body in the way. You really only need to cut a little on the backside then level the saw and let it do the work. It's usually when the log is bigger than the width of the bar you reach over then come back to level. Have a great day and enjoy that beautiful saw!

Glad you're liking it Gord. She'll definitely wake up a little after a few tanks of fuel through it. When cutting try just keeping the bar level and let the weight of the saw melt through the wood. You won't get that biting and grabbing you're experiencing when you pull back after you're initial forward tilt. I can see how you would do that with the less powerful 261 but that 462 has the power and weight to just go straight through the wood. When you try it on some smaller stuff you'll find you can stand straight up and cut with the time and not have to bend over. Dave

I had a MS390 with a 25” bar and, like you say, it would go right through the wood with the bar level. I didn’t notice the extra weight because the log supported the bar.

That’s a sweet saw.

On a brand new chain, they still need to be sharpened a bit. They can be slightly dull from the factory’s

That thing is a beast!

That was some nice size timber! I bet you can wait to fall some big ones with 462! I like the longer bar for felling and limbing myself! The less bending over the better!!

Impressive GP

You are going to love this thing, it absolutely moves chips! I just put a prosizer on my 462, thanks to your recommendation, and it is a bucking machine. I find holding more horizontal lets the saw use more chain and pull better through the cut, plus you don't have to worry about watching the tip so much on the back side.

I was looking at a 462 to add to my 261, but I just don’t cut big wood like that, so I picked up a MSA 200. I added two model AP300 batteries, but suggest going with one. It provides 45 mins. of cutting, which is more than enough for small trees and limbing.

The reason you could not find any huskies in the woods is simple. One they are produced in a manner that allows them to be purchased when they are needed. Two they are fast and their owners are motivated so the work was done when it should have been done not in the middle of the summer. Thirdly they are all busy making a wooden stock aid for JT! To of course just to keep him safe!

The ms 462 with 20'' bar it's even better. I leave the 25" bar for the big brother 660 magnum with 404 chain.If the ms 462 pulls you towards the log the 660 magnum pulls the whole log towards you. Not to mention the monster chain breaker ms 880.

Just a suggestion: after your cut you immediately put on the brake. A-ok. Come the next cut you release the brake and immediately start the cut.... I would rev it once before dropping the saw in the wood so as to get some oil on the bar, at least in wood that is almost as large as the bar. Cheers ~

Dude, nice saw! A little advice here, it'll speed up your cutting. You will find that it cuts faster NOT pivoting the saw while you cut. Keep the bar horizontal all the way thru the cut. It's a lot more efficient than pivoting because when you pivot the saw back to make the final cut, the bar is only cutting a few pinches of wood. When you keep your bar horizontal all the way thru the cut, you are always putting the maximum amount of wood on the bar - resulting in a very efficient cut. Just try it for a while, you'll soon see what I'm talking about. Anyhow, have a great weekend!!

You will notice a significant increase in power after the 2nd or 3rd take of gas. I have gotten in the habit of checking the chain tension after making the first 5-10 cuts. The longer chain expands more with the heat. I also loosen the chain tension each time once I am done cutting.
