    462 or 572?

    Owned a 462. Replaced stolen 462 with a 572. Haven’t ran the 572 a whole bunch, but my initial impression is that the 462 is the superior saw. Should have bought another 462.

    Brand Blindness

    Depends on the dealer support that’s available and what exactly I’m looking for. Just bought a Husqvarna 592 because its numbers were better than the Stihl 661. It’s my first Husqvarna.

    So I bought a 592xp

    West Coast Saw makes a nice raker gauge that works on full comp and skip. It won’t work on reduced kick back chain. https://westcoastsaw.com/collections/depth-plate

    So I bought a 592xp

    Are you standing up and using the bar length and tip? Or is it dogged in? Depth gauges are set to what?

    I loved my 462 and ran it exclusively. I wish I had it back.

    Help me justify a new saw purchase

    I sold my 362 and ran only the 462. It’s a great saw. If you want more then the 592 is, in my opinion, better than the 500i and 661.

    I need a larger chainsaw

    I bought the 592 over a 500 and 661. Now I have a 572 also.

    I need a larger chainsaw

    I don’t have anything bad to say about my 462. I really liked it and sold my 362 to fund a Husqvarna 592. 462 is a solid saw. Since it was stolen I’m looking at a replacement 462 or a Husqvarna 572. Not even considering the 500. I will say I think my 462 was being pushed with a buried 32 in...

    Reno NV help: Stolen Saw

    I saw that it “sold.” Hopefully it’s still in her possession and she just got cold feet. Can’t tell from the pictures if she defaced the sn. Mtronic displays mn and sn when plugged into the computer? Ouch. Canceled Facebook account as punishment. Cruel and unusual that is. I would prefer she...

    Apple AirTag saw tracking?

    I just had my 462 stolen out of my truck. Now I’m considering putting an air tag under the cover for in the future. Has anyone done this? Will the AirTag survive the heat and vibrations? I’m also aware it will notify, but I’ve seen videos on how to remove the speaker so it’s harder to find.

    MS362 vs MS400, which should I get + dimensions?

    400 made the 362 obsolete. Not sure why Stihl still bothers to sell it.

    The new hotness

    Definitely looking at the WCS exhaust port. I was considering the dogs too, but I kind of like the 592’s factory dogs. I’ve got an aluminum skid plate/tank/handle protector on my Stihls, does anybody know where to find one for a 592?

    The new hotness

    Just because. Hoping to run it next week.

    60cc chainsaw choice

    MS362 is obsolete. Made so by the MS400. I run a 28 on my 362 all the time.

    Lots of Questions about Axe Hanging

    The handle should fill the eye. Shave down the wood wedge so it is thinner and inserts farther. Don’t use a metal wedge.

    Stihl 362: Now on 3rd coil

    I have a Stihl 362 that is now on its third coil. The first was under warranty 4 years ago. I replaced it again last summer. Last week it died again with no spark and is on coil three. Is the 362 known for coil failures or is there another problem I’m failing to diagnose?

    It's starting - New California law bans ...

    Until there is support for new nuclear power plants we know they’re full of feel good but accomplish nothing nonsense. Small scale mass produced fail safe nuclear power is completely possible. It’s more than possible and it would completely make obsolete any large scale solar or wind energy.
