This was my first proper run with the 500 since it returned home from being "seen to" by Jack and I'm very pleased ! Just need to find were it's happy on the chain.
Great to see someone outside of western North American using a 3/4 wrap bar and proper dogs. I still don’t understand why they’re not more common in the rest of world or even the rest of the US. I don’t do this professionally but you don’t have to be a pro to realize that the egos of falling with a “west coast” saw are night and day superior.
that saw likes to rev now!! A lot of them seem to have a weak top end stock in other videos. Sounds like it wants more than your typical raker set, too (which you already said, of course). It's sweet - sounds strong *and* fast.
I follow yours and Jack's channel and I gotta tell you, I feel a little cheated. Almost like somebody told me how the story ends lol. Looks like it really hauls the mail ! Diggin that cannon bar.
Hi Austin, now you get to see how it went stage to stage on Jacks channel. Jack was keen to see what I thought of the end result and let me tell you he has more to do on these.
I've had my 500i for 3 months now and i'm pretty satisfied with it, however the materials are a bit fragile, last week it fell off a 40cm tall stump onto a rock and a small chip came off the starter housing and two months ago i bumped it into a rock and chipped the clutch cover a bit. Definitely more fragile than the 462 i've had for 2 years and abused with only a small crack on the starter housing or my 550 that i throw around with no visible damage
Hi John, yes time moves on and we have to have an open mind and so far with the electronic input on saws I'm happy with the way it's going but I do still run a lot of "old" stuff !
Dave - Great news! Glad you like it, better, now, lol. Seems like it handles Sitka nicely too. I could hear it bouncing off the rev limiter a few times. Still gets there quick. Let us know about your fuel mileage please. Thanks Mate.
I was so impressed with your 572 last year that I went out and got one but now I am being teased with the 500i.I find the same problem with the 661 and the air cleaner but I came up with a simple solution by putting in a mesh screen made from a safety face guard inserted in the cold weather slot . It reduces chip intake by about 50 percent. Keep safe buddy and give us a shout whenever you are down tipped way.👍👍
@@bobbymcgee227 I'm completely positive that, by this stage of the game, Dave is fully capable at getting his chain properly dialed in to handle - and handle well - whatever wood type/density comes his way. It's easy to sit easy to just sit behind a computer and create doubt. Heck, look at the media in this country. ... Proof is in the puddin'. I've never seen where Dave's chains are lagging.
Very nice. I was surprised that stihl didn't do a filter more like the 462. I've been disappointed with the 661 and 500 only on the filter. Jack does really nice work!
Hey Hey - How are you?I like to know what brand and type of bar are you running? The 500i looks strong. But what I know so far -> those saw is very thirsty.
Hello Kyle, hard to compare as my 375 is a step below this saw in work done. I sent the 500 over to get a saw with a bit of "balls" which I didn't think the stock 500 has, yes runs up fast but not so much in the mid range dept and hit anything like an included branch and it's a bit on and off on the throttle. Now I have a very good saw with bags of "power"
Really .....so a good saw running even better is not a good thing ? Cutting timber for a living is only helped by more efficient equipment . Thankfully I make a reasonable living so whatever it cost me to make my equipment more efficient is money well spent and of course as a work expense tax efficient . Perhaps you should take on board that just what you think is "right" is not for everyone and my choices are just that mine ...lovely word "efficient" !
@@outinthewood3578 Dave we all know your legit!!!! Don't waste your time with pretenders!!! I'm sorry Dave who am I to tell you what to do. Thank You Dave, for helping me along with my chainsaw endeavors! Your advice has ALWAYS BEEN TOP CLASS!!!!!
They already have all ported saws like from hotsaws101 or westcoast saw, or mertal creek, are all sold as part saws and "disabled" it is up to the owner to get it running again. So the builders aren't responsive for it.
Jack be nimble..Jack be quick.. Send yer saw he'll make it rip.
He made mine rip for sure.
Lol awesome !!
Good to hear you are liking it better now. Jack always seems to make anything run so much better than stock.
Jack has done very well again love to see his work that saw is kick ass for sure !!
Sounds like a pissed off hornet! Love it! As always wonderful work by Jack.
Instablaster...

Well done Jack. Love the pissed off Hornet comment.
Zdravím, dobrá práce kolego, ať se daří 🌲👍🤝. Hodně štěstí přeju, Mira.
Thanks Mira I hope ...
Beautiful wood. That thing sure pulls now! Sounds like an angry hornet!

Jack's good at what he does for sure
Nice, like how it bored in. Still limited and just half wraps for us Western Canadains. Happy I was a lucky one to get a 462.
I'm looking forward to more work with it, just as I hoped it would turn out.
Cool to see it in action dave

That's one crazy saw. I wonder when and if will husqvarna make their own fuel injected saw... surely to compete they would have to make one.

We have had them here in europe since late 2018 and same reports here. They have focused on light materials, so i think that maby could be the reason.
Still very popular here in Norway, and ist has a place on my shelf ;)
They got the weight down somehow. Might be in spots similar to what your talking of.
Boy ol Jack really gave that five hundy the business!!
That's sweet 👍🏻
That saw looks like it could do the job I suppose it's the future whether we like it or not
New around here but fantastic channel 👍

Try it in some hickory??? Bet it don't cut like that???

They absolutely rip!
And I thought it was good before, bloody hell 👍👍
A very high pitch did Jack change the sound Sound ?
Wow that's screaming! :-D
All good in the wood

Very well Mr F, it's a Cannon Duralite and very happy with it. we will see on the fuel but I think you are correct !
She rips!
Nice
👍
That thing sounds like its turning 14 or 15000 rpm.
Ripper!
Hi Dave, how does it compare to an XPW? Looking forward to seeing it with a 32 or 36.

@@outinthewood3578 Thanks Dave! I almost forgot about the heated 461, will it be making an apperance this winter?
Good video. Looks like hard wood.
Hi David, yes this sale is on Granite based hills so the trees suck up sillica from the ground and makes things a bit harder
Still waiting to see your drive to work
Way to go you’ve taken a perfectly good saw and made it less efficient and paid good money too boot well done

Hey man, that sounds like an angry little german!! 👍 You're never touching an orange saw again now? 😉
Can’t wait for the planet police to start cracking down on small engine modding like they have been doing with cars and trucks for ages

You liar lol good job
