Husqvarna versus Stihl Pro Saw Comparison...You decide Who's TOP SAW!
What happens here
The presenter picks up the Stihl MS462C chainsaw, noting its aesthetic appeal and the included scabbard. He removes the scabbard, revealing the Stihl Rollomatic ES 25-inch bar (Stihl calls its 24-inch equivalent a 25-inch bar), which is an upgrade from the stock 20-inch bar. He details the saw's specifications: 72.2 cubic centimeters (cc) engine displacement, 5.9 horsepower (hp). He then demonstrates the fuel (720cc or 24.35 fluid ounces) and bar oil (340cc or 11.5 fluid ounces) tanks, noting their large capacities and the easy-to-open flip-up caps. Upon opening, a slight hiss indicates pressure in the fuel tank. The saw features a compression release button and an "ElastoStart" pull handle, which provides a gentler start. To access the internal components for maintenance, three tabs are easily unlatched using a chainsaw wrench, revealing the M-Tronic electronic intelligent management carburetor and a simple twist-off air filter. A tab for winter or summer use is also pointed out for air intake adjustment.
