There used to be a guy that owned a hardware store in my hometown that also sold chainsaws and splitters as well as yard equipment. He had a small wood yard out behind the store that he let people try out the saws and even compare their own saws against the new ones. You could even test the splitters. The guy was a genius. He sold a lot of saws and had people cutting and splitting his firewood for him and paying him to do it 😂 Couldn't do it nowadays because of liability though. Good comparison video 👍
That would be cool to kick the tires on them before you bought them!
That grapple is a real back saver...I'd buy the second one you ran...doesn't bog down..
The second round was the 400. It’s a mean 67ccs! One of my favorites for sure!
Hey Mike, I went through a similar decision between getting a 572XP and a 562XP. I opted for the 562XP because it was almost a pound lighter and about $300 less. A 60cc class saw vs. a 70cc class saw. The right decision for me. Have a great day!
For what we’re doing, 60cc is plenty. But I’m kind of a junky now 🤣
@@KNLFirewood 😂
There is something to be said for a sharp chain and keeping the rpms in the peak range.
That’s a fact!
The 462 is just a newer 461 from my understanding. Since i have 2 461s. I would say the 462 did a fantastic job over the 400.
I have never ran a 400.😉👍
I’m not sure how well a 400 would run that 32” bar you like?? It runs the 25” bar pretty well.
The only thing I would suggest, is that you keep an eye on your oil output on the 400 with that much bar. I've read that the oiler that Stihl uses on the 400 is subpar and doesn't put out enough oil.
Hey Jeff! I haven’t had any trouble with it (knock on wood). I did turn up the oiler on it. I turn them all my saws oilers all the way up if they have adjustments. More oil = more gooder if you ask me! Thanks for the heads up. I’ll keep an eye on it!
Push the roll pin in on the oiler and you’ll get another 1/4 turn for a skutch more oil on the bar.
Both saws cut good. I can’t believe it but I bought a 550 xp. I used a 395 for over 20 years. Moved to 372 couple years ago. The 550 a heck of a saw and light. I like my long bars though. That some big wood. I having hard time getting tree service wood here. They can dump it for no cost here so make little harder. Can’t beat a big saw dogged into big log. Keep up the good work.
Hey Dan! 550 is a great saw!
Two of the best saws made👏🪵🇺🇸
I agree!
Some bucking safety chaps would be a great idea ..I'm an Emergency nurse you don't want to know about the pain and injuries I've seen
I really should.
My 400 impressed my buddy, who normally runs a 462, enough that he has one on the way. We will both have each a 400, 462 and 261. A saw for any occasion.
I love the 400 but it’s taken a back seat since getting the 462. Maybe once the newness runs out on the 462 the 400 will take the top shelf again?? Thanks for watching and commenting! 261’s are super nice!
@@KNLFirewood the 462 gets taken out when I’m cutting a 48”-50” oak like the one we are doing tomorrow. The 28” bar comes in handy with giant water oaks. Smaller jobs the 400 is perfect, big ones are not as common.
I have all three as well, not because I needed them but because I wanted them. 😁 I would say the weight difference between the 400 and 462 is a lot less than the difference in power. I might just get rid of the 400 and find myself another 462.
I like having both. I guess I'm kind of a junky
Both saws were ripping!! I’ve never ran either of those but the 400 sparks my interest. Seems to get a lot of good reviews!!
Great video as always Mike!! And it was a pleasure talking with ya!
Both saws are pretty awesome in my opinion! Thanks for watching Jacob!
Two great saws there Mike! "The Birds" movie with Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor was a classic!!
Hi Bill! Thanks! You have a 400 and 462, right?
@@KNLFirewoodYep, got the 462 first then the 400. Mostly use the 400 and the 462 is there when I need it! Twenty five days until HFH set up.
Looks like 2 great saws to me! I don’t think a person could go wrong with either. They both sound good 🎶👂🏻
Haha! I’m sure my neighbors don’t think so! The 400 has the WCS Bark Box and the 462 has the EPS Straight Shot on it. The EPS is LOUD!!
I have both, but my 462 is ported by Jason Egan, so not fair comparison. 400 runs great tho.
Cheater!! 🤣. My 462 has his Straight Shot on it…but not ported. My 400 has the WCS Bark Box on it. I’d love to run one of his port jobs!
I have a ms460 and it's a animal, absolutely love that saw!
Those 460’s are nice!
From my experince on a 462 when the dogs tuch the log it will BOG with in the first 3 nichers
I think the 462 is Stihl's most underrated saw. For whatever reason the 500i and 400 get all the attention. You hardly even see a 462 for sale around here.
Two great saws! I see I was wrong when I guessed Andrew would deliver a conveyor when he came to the HFH. Congrats Mike! 👍🏻
I’m fixin’ to make a mountain of wood IF IT WOULD EVER STOP RAINING!!!
I love holding the logs up so I can cut at a comfortable height, no matter what saw I use.
Me too! My back LOVES it!
Man that zip tie length guide is clever thanks.
Petty theft from Chris @In The Woodyard 🤣
For $300 less than the 462 I would take the 400 all day every day
I love the 400. The 400 and 462 are a close #1 and #2 in my arsenal
Nice comparison Mike , They both do the job very well and sound great doing it . Thanks for showing. Have a good week ahead KNL. Later
Hi Richy! Both really nice saws! They do sound good. I’d don’t think my neighbors agree 🤣
Mike someone took too much of the chain rakes. Remember STAND and BUCKIN ! 😊 see it bog down into the cut Some’thing isn’t RIGHT . Mike you need an old logger like me to hand ✋ file it for you buddy . 😊
I like to make sure those pesky rakers are out of the way 🤣. I can’t hand file worth a darn either. Nor do I have the patience 🤣
Nice! I just bought a new 20" MS462. Now I just need wood to cut!
I don't think I like the sound of that Bark Box though. So shrill.
It's so classic. Just like with Harley Davidsons, everybody changes the exhaust!
Congratulations! It’s a great saw! My 462 has the EPS Straight Shot, my 400 has the Bark Box. The EPS is louder!
400 baby! But I may be a little biased😂😂 Oh a new conveyor?! Awesome👍💪👍
You are biased. But not wrong. You should run the 462 at HFH. It’s got the EPS on it like your 400.
@@KNLFirewood Nice!!
Next to the 500i the MS462 is my go to saw. One thing we can’t get more of is time so I’ll take a heavier saw and get done quicker IMHO . 👍TCT
Hi Tony! I love them all. They are all pretty stinkin’ fast!
Record in 144p not 1080p
And things will be harder to spot.
LOL
ive found as saws gain features, they get heavier. So I run gen 1 372s, all made pre 2010.
Or the exception to the rule, south America genuine saws, they are still sold without stratospheric air delivery. Or at least some still are.
Haha! Maybe I should! You’re probably right. I can’t fix anything, so I like the newer autotune saws you don’t have to jack with.
@@KNLFirewood should you get the opportunity to run a original 046 or 372 saw. You'll better understand why there favored.
Not saying the new suff doesn't work very well. Just a well ported old saw runs at least just as well.
0.01c
That’s great information, I hadn’t checked to see when they went strato in the 372.
I have a ‘12 372xp and like it fine, but I do gravitate to my 272 more often. I just love the way the old girl pulls a chain!💪🏼😍
Bless’ns!
@@sawsurgeon best ways of knowing are, the compression release is on the side of the top end not on the top plastic cover. Choke lever is gray over the blue. Top end will not have the little bolt on parts on the transfer ports.
Handle and top plastic is a fraction of an inch shorter.
Intake boot is shaped differently.
Throat of carb is approximately 1.5mm bigger on strato.
All stratos are 50mm pistons, where the old ones had several different sizes 47 to 51.4mm and the aftermarket 52mm
.
Theres a few other super miner things, but thats plenty to figure out which version a person has.
@@BGWenterprises : Thanks for the intel!
Been looking at the 462 and 500i for firewood. Had a new 400 and sold it right off because mine didn’t hardly oil the bar and did not have the power I thought it should. Seems to me that 462 is bogging an awful lot.
Hey Mark! I tend to go a little hog wild on the rakers. Probably the reason it was bogging down. I have the 400, 462, 500i, and 661. And I like them in that order. 400 and 462 are pretty close for the 1 and 2 position.
@@KNLFirewood thank you.
Both saws looked like they were cutting good
I like both of them a lot! Thanks Larry!
Nice comparison Mike
Hey Bill! Thanks! 2 pretty good saws!
2 awesome saws!
I like them both. 462 might edge out the 400 as my favorite.
@@KNLFirewood you and me both 😁
I think you summed up the 400 and 462 well.
Why thank you!
So which do you like better?
Don’t make me choose!! I guess 400 if I could only have one…but I’d miss the 462
Either one will hurt without your cutting pants.
60 stitches per second..
Two nice saws!! Lotta cuttin action in this one👍🏻👍🏻 Can’t wait to see the new conveyor in action Mike. Congrats 👍🏻👍🏻
What? Who said anything about conveyor??
@@KNLFirewood I know people🤣….. and I can see🤣
I hope I get to run that splitter and conveyor at Pop Onion this year!😁
@@FirewoodMidwest The Pop Onion Show is in the fall🤣
@@toddsoutsideagain dang it. I get things messed up sometimes.😁
Both saw sound angry.
Yes. Yes, they do. You know how we all like loud saws? I think a super quiet saw would be cool too. Still gas powered, but quiet.
Nice one Mike. I didn’t really see any difference in the saws. Both cut wood. Quick. 👍🏻🤭
I see something red in the background. Conveyer. ?
Have a great day. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋🪵🪓🔥
They are pretty close. 462 is a little faster, 400 is a little lighter.
Mike , check Mike out with Williamson outdoors u channel on his 56 volts with 20” bar chainsaw blowing your stihl out in the field check it out . 😮
Headed there now. I’m curious…
I just watched that 56v jobbie. I want to see a 100 volt!
