Stihl MS462 vs Husqvarna 572xp

[Treespotter]

Haha, the Stihl guy told me that the Stihl would be 800 grams lighter than the 572 but it turns out that figure was not so high. Still significant but it turns out the difference is only 600 grams.

I'd never buy a new Stihl or Husky product again. Everything seems to come with teething problems...usually carb related. Don't they field test these days???[emoji19]

So why do you even read this thread?

Agree?

Both were running Stihl RS 3/8, the stihl 1.6, husqvarna 1,5

 

a comment on Facebook has asked to weigh both saws full of fuel with cutting equipment as “apparently” the difference is way over a kilo

I am surprised we haven't got a thermocouple on the exhaust side of the cylinder yet and some sort of auto-shutdown if it overheats - that would save a few saws from self detonation!

As for operators keeping their saws clean - you are kidding right? Think I only have two customers that do that

Please sir , me sir !

Josh, could you do me the honour and weigh them again without oil and fuel?
Weight with oil and fuel can be a tell tale about endurance. My Dolmar 6100 is fully loaded unstoppable. The fuel tank on that machine is the same as the one on an average truck. But the dry weight is probably the lowest of all when comparing the power.
