None taken, I'm more of a husky guy myself, but run a good bit of all of them.No disrespect but we both run 24" bars and cut oak and Hickory and 562 walks the 461. I own both Stihl and Husky and are leaning towards Husky due to MS series saws are terrible.. like I said no disrespect
I've never had a stock 562 that would cut with a 460/461(unless you're talking about wood under 16", but that's another story), he needs to have that saw looked at, the 461 is a great saw as are the ms series of saws, this coming from a husky guy .
