Speaking of big timber, old timers here remember this member for his infamous method of rifle break in by throwing it on the ground and listening for the "resonance", also his polite and understanding manner of posting. Did you also know he felled giant trees in Alaska? His YouTube channel has some great videos.




He and my younger brother were best friends all through high school, they we’re always doing crazy shit.
 
Husky people 🙄

Seriously tho nice saw. I helped the cleanup effort after Helene by monitoring crews to be sure rules were followed. One team was from Oregon and had a 592….what a great saw that was. I have had 2 Huskys myself, I don’t often admit that 🫣 had a couple of Echos too 😅




Suddenly, things become clearer 😂




Yaaassss
I wouldn't mind building a 372 husky to dedicate to a 28, or maybe even a 32" bar.

Currently run a 28 on my ms462. I like the reach. I'd cut it back to a 20" if I had another saw in its class. With a 20" and an 8 pin it rips smaller wood. I do enjoy my 462. It's l8ke a modern 044/440. I should probably try to pick up a standard carb model so it will last as long as the old 044's.

Queue the safety freaks. I had to stump that one as high as the loader could get me to keep it inside the fence that is out of the pic to the right.

One of my worst fears happened to me while I was up there. The tree had long been dead and the bark was turning loose on it, so before I put the face in, I was knocking the bark off of it. It was FULL of roaches. Big ones! When I knocked the bark off the flew everywhere!

I almost unloaded the tractor. I was seriously debating throwing the saw one way, and myself the other way. I really had to dig deep to keep my shit together, lol.

372 is a known winner. That 462 is a great saw. I love Mtronic saws, since the updated solenoids they are very reliable. Keep an extra in case it ever were to go down but on Arborsite they are not known to have trouble.

My normal bar on the 440 is a 25”, I have a 32” in case but have rarely used it. I keep a 18” on the 261 and it does most of the work usually except for bigger trunks.

We lose a few trees a year to storms here because heart rot is a real problem on oaks in the area. I did fall the tree in the post above but 99% of our firewood falls on its own.

Oh and @XP1K I have a severe roach phobia myself. Anyone who has firewood will have those big brown ones 🫨

My firewood shed is about 200 yards from the house for good reason 😅

Every piece is knocked and checked when I bring any to the house and it stays in the little trailer, not brought in until time to go into the stove.

Hmm, the 462 isnt listed there. Have they done away with it in favor of the 400.1 and 500i ? Surely not. That's a big price jump between those two saws.

Same here on the wood I cut. I fall very few trees. Most of it is storm cleanup or leaners that just finally gave up.

Not to say that I don't enjoy knocking a tree down when I can!

I brought one in on a stick of firewood this past winter. Luckily, he hung on til I got him in the fire. 🤣

They’re still made, I didn’t even notice it wasn’t listed. Weird

Ebay lists the white for basically all of them

Gentlemen, while technically not nekid, the post left VERY little to imagination. The idea here is pretty simple to understand and getting right up to the line isn’t really the best way forward. I appreciate you all and we 99% all get along and have a great time. I hope everyone gets the gist of this.

I don’t like being breast police. Neither does @powdahound76 or anyone else who catches things first and says something. Most times, guys just forget which thread they’re in, fixes things and life goes on.
