    What's the big deal with the big dogs?

    You bought the kit afterwards. Buying the saw as an R model from the dealer is a 30-50 dollar upgrade.

    Echo CS 501P vs Stihl MS 260

    I can make a 194 cut like a 201, they aren't bad for the price, if you get a year or 2 out of them killing trees you got your money's worth. the 2511 was a big hit for a little while with a few guys I know and then the novelty wore off and reality set in, they have nothing over a 151 and aren't...

    Echo CS 501P vs Stihl MS 260

    For every 1 echo top handle saw in the other tree services I'm friends with there are probably 20 stihl and husqvarna saws. And outside of those few top handles I don't really know anyone that uses them. Echo chainsaws aren't a dominant brand in the hands of professional users, that might make...

    Upgrading to a wrap model on a stihl saw is 30-50 bucks...

    The Perfect Gas Can…

    You should get a Narrator job on National Geographic about prides of Lions and leave the gas cans alone.

    Echo CS 501P vs Stihl MS 260

    Why do you not have to adjust the carb on the Echo ?

    Ms400 very grabby. New yellow chain...

    Didn't you buy the saw with an 8 degree advance and a mild muffler mod ?

    What upgrades should i do?

    Those beat the hell out of the threads in the case, he should start telling people to use time serts, if the screws get even the slightest bit loose they hammer the threads out from the bolts in the case. I've never seen a bark box be any less quality and I've watched 2 of them for 3 years get...

    Gas life?

    Not in my experience.

    Gas life?

    I can't speak on seafoam as a stabilizer because I never have gas that long, but it does work as a cleaner. I've used quickshot from amsoil as well..same thing, it cleans carbon but I have no idea how long it keeps gas good..or if it even does.

    Thinking about MS 400. Is my 462 a keeper?

    I don't disagree, never did. When I said around 8-9 seconds I meant the saw running at max RPM, not while it's running at low RPM before it takes off, once it takes off it's never been more than 8-9 seconds before it drops off again and the calibration is complete.

    Thinking about MS 400. Is my 462 a keeper?

    I've never seen one take anywhere near that long before it drops RPMs.

    If you're doing a mtronic reset and holding your saw at WFO for 30 seconds you're doing something wrong.

    Thinking about MS 400. Is my 462 a keeper?

    It's not necessarily 30 seconds, it's until it returns to a lower RPM..however long that takes, I've seen it take 5 seconds and I've seen it take 8 or 9.

    Stihl ms400c stalling

    Are you doing that 60 seconds with the chain brake on like you're supposed to ?

    Thinking about MS 400. Is my 462 a keeper?

    I cut it with a 36" from each side and there was still some holding wood but we could break it with the machine, I was burning a tank of gas about every 3 cuts.

    Thinking about MS 400. Is my 462 a keeper?

    I fell/bucked a massive yard maple yesterday. I had to give the saw a few piss revs after each cut to get some oil back on the chain and clear some of the chips from the drivers.

    Thinking about MS 400. Is my 462 a keeper?

    I'm not a YouTube comparison person at all..but..steph is a good dude and did about as fair of a comparison as you're gonna find with these new 70ish cc saws. If I was just a firewood cutter and had only 3 stihl saws that would cover big to small wood and some noodling in between, I'd get a...

    Getting annoyed with Stihl

    It took 3 months for me to get a starter assembly for a side start br 800.

    Thinking about MS 400. Is my 462 a keeper?

    I have 4 years of hard use on my early 462, it's alive and well. There's guys on the internet that will make you overthink things. I wouldn't have a 400 if I didn't trade for one, I figured what the hell..why not. If you want a saw with a wrap handle and an oil pump that's efficient with a...
