Thank you Willard!
I agree with you and that is one of the main purposes of these short tests – lets run the saw as long as we can and before sending it back, check how it looks, both in and out.
We could be better in explaining that along with the fact that this is a new saw that has not been run in fully. Most likely it will perform better…[Read more]

Fredrik Reuter wrote a new post, Review and Test of the New MS 462 Chainsaw 1 year, 1 month ago
The 70cc chainsaw segment is on fire! Both Stihl and Husqvarna is now shipping out one new chainsaw each in MS 462 for Stihl and 572XP for Husqvarna. These new chainsaws are going to ramp up the whole segment but […]
Very nice well done video. The aerial drone shot was great!
First faller with the 462 needed to do some work on his chain. It was sharp enough but just needed better depth gauge or cutter side plate settings.
The second tree felled by what looks like a pro who cuts wood daily for a living was smooth operating the 462, used his helmet screen and had a good cutting properly set chain on the saw.
The C85 chain sounds interesting and I hope we get them in Canada soon.-
Thank you Willard!

Hi Josh,
Great you’re happy with the 357.
I have one myself since like 10 years. I like it too, not modded as yours though.Right now it does not work, it chokes when warm. Brought to a neigbour of mine and he shall have a deeper look at it.
It seems like some have had problem with the automatic decompression valve, does yours have that?

Very nice video guys, very impressive saw.
So with 20 tanks run through the 500i which is roughly three 7 hour logging days…the video shows how dirty it was cutting spruce.
Of course spruce or other softwood is messy with sap and lots of dust and after 3 straight days without cleaning maintenance it will be very dirty.
But normally a logger would clean it and air filter included after a 7 hour day. This would prevent fine wood dust from working past the over dirty air filter into the intake as the video showed.
So it’s very important to understand this problem.
Thank you Willard!
I agree with you and that is one of the main purposes of these short tests – lets run the saw as long as we can and before sending it back, check how it looks, both in and out.
We could be better in explaining that along with the fact that this is a new saw that has not been run in fully. Most likely it will perform better and better after each re-fuel, maybe for as long as up to like 50 re-fuels.
We have to remember that fuel injected chainsaw
development goes all the way back to 1949 at Rasmus Wiig’s small Oslo factory “Norsk Sagbladd Fabrikk” with his 8.5kg semi diesel Comet Model A chainsaw.
