Hi,
I am looking to buy a professional chainsaw, I do however have some difficulty deciding because this will be my first ever pro saw. I have been looking at a Stihl ms 462c because I don’t like screwing around with carburettors but I do wanna eventually put a barkbox and some other modifications on it.
The problem is that I don’t know if a 462c is a good first pro saw. The most powerful saw I’ve ran so far is 2.1hp and the 462c has 6 what is quite the jump up. I do however have done up a lot of experience the past 7 months. I have used homeowner saws in a way the technically requires pro saws and thus ive overworked 2 saws already (oops)
I really want a good saw (preferably a Stihl because ive had some trouble with husqvarna and also I got way more Stihl shops around me than husqvarna) the saw also has to be good for falling (mainly smaller trees 30-50cm at the bottom but also well capable for bigger because I do sometimes get some good sized stuff) As well as firewood and bucking. Also I want it to have good aftermarket support because I would love to eventually get into upgrading my own saws with stuff like muffler mods, fullwrap handle and some other basic fun stuff.
Age of the saw doesn’t matter to much, I don’t care if its late 80’s early 90’s or just released yesterday.
Anyone any suggestions please?
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this through.
I hope you can help me finding a good saw or at least some good advice
