I only use my 462 occasionally, but it's a really nice saw. Yes, it's quick on the uptake- but aren't Huskys supposed to be known for that? It's certainly controllable power, I really like it.

Would not hesitate to get a second one or the bigger models.Handles a 36" ripping bar and chain with ease and tons of power

This is good to hear.

It would be very interesting to see how it stands up to your use.

 

 I bought a "parts" kit a couple of years back on a black Thursday sale and it hasn't been as good as a saw as I'd hoped. Although I've read the complete saws use some superior quality parts instead of the Hutzl kit parts.

Are you running at 25:1 oil ? 

Please keep the updates coming.

Yes 25/1 oil as recommended bob.The guy who sells them keeps around 2/3 saws (different models) in stock and rest takes a few weeks to get send over.
