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 grapple is a real back saver...I'd buy the second one you ran...doesn't bog down..
-
There is something to be said for a sharp chain and keeping the rpms in the peak range. :face-purple-smiling-tears:

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!

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
-
Two great saws there Mike! "The Birds" movie with Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor was a classic!!
-
Looks like 2 great saws to me! I don’t think a person could go wrong with either. They both sound good 🎶👂🏻
-
Two of the best saws made👏🪵🇺🇸
-
Two great saws! I see I was wrong when I guessed Andrew would deliver a conveyor when he came to the HFH. Congrats Mike! 👍🏻
-
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.😉👍
-
From my experince on a 462 when the dogs tuch the log it will BOG with in the first 3 nichers
-
I have both, but my 462 is ported by Jason Egan, so not fair comparison. 400 runs great tho.
-
I have a ms460 and it's a animal, absolutely love that saw!
-
Man that zip tie length guide is clever thanks.
-
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 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.
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
