Good times at Mikes. The muffler mod seems to work.

Awesome video! Both saws sound and run great! You should’ve put time stamps on the cuts in the video.

I liked the drone footage I think muffler mods make a difference.

Yeah, if you cut the baffle out of that 460, it will give that exhaust a straight exit.

Hey buddy just wanted to say awesome video an that 562 is snappy holy cow the 460 sounds good as well

Well, the tractor isn't a Kubota but hey-if it does the job why not? So the Proyama saws were that bad in the end. That isn't good at all. So far mine has been pretty decent after the initial issues like a loose carburetor but I really don't like just how loud it is with the completely open two port muffler and I cant help but feel it is giving away some bottom torque for race car sound.

Nice

These saws sound great after the muffler swaps. They ran great as well

Do t blow your pistons. Make sure to check the rpm at full throttle when playing with the high speed screw. Stick to what the engineers recommend otherwise it’s going to cost you. I have a Stihl 026 and 034 set at 13,000 as per spec. My 026 is close to 30 years old and my 034 is about 28 years old and they both still run like brand new.. German engineers get paid the big bucks for a reason.

Welcome to the world of muffler modification. Improving the CRACK (snappy) as you call it, and pull. Keeps some heat away from the saw. Husky saws that I have changed out the mufflers, I heard the autotune do its thing within 20 seconds after startup. No secret, the more exhaust exits, the more fuel/air enters. LOUD SAWS, keep turkey neckers and looky loos, far away from you also.

Ted said it best! Great video👍🏻

Seeing the boys was an awesome finish!

I believe muffler covers do nothing/fairly little. Entire mufflers do help quite a bit

Hey Oakie, I was wondering what took you so long to muffler mod a saw! haha. Nah, no need to do a field reset on the A.T. system - a couple of steady cuts and she'll do the math on the change. Both saws sound wicked now - good job 👍👍

Is this the same 562xp as before? The one with all the problems?

👍👍 I think muffler mods have a place in some saws- others, not much if any improvement. Looks like both provided some gains and will hopefully get some heat out.

No matter what they breathe better and that's a good thing. The inner baffle on 460 I drilled a hole as big as I could in it and that's where the biggest difference came from! 562 is loving that muffler and it shows! Good stuff hope you like it!

👍🆙OW

If you would like that echo2511 ported hit me up, it would be a different saw afterwards.

Great video and great comparisons!

The speed of cut increase was consistent, but slight. Both saws sound awesome! Reminds me of my Dad’s 1950’s Strunk Speed Demon, the 1st saw I ever used. It didn’t have a muffler. The exhaust port was right next to the handle and boy did that old girl talk when buried in some hardwood log.

🤩

Even if the muffler mods doesn't actually give it any better performance. If it makes running that chainsaw more fun. It's totally worth it to me.

Those steadfast mufflers are amazing. Really wake the 5 series up. Have one on my 572 and waiting for the 550 muffler to be released. Absolutely worth the investment

49 min late and I'm still # 1 non okie , 🤪morning

Morning 1st. Todd missed it today

10:27 that is some jumpy chain from factory. Only proves once again that rakers have to be hit from factory

Must be a HUGE battery drain.

I got them at the beach in Florida.

HELP FOR YOU: THAT IS INSANE, IN MY OPINION. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? DON'T YOU REALIZE ITS SENDING FREQUENCIES AND YOUR ALLOWING SOME DEVICE TO PERT NEAR INJECT YOU WITH " SOMETHING " THAT AS YOU STATE, " WORKS ". I USE TURMERIC, A KITCHEN SPICE, IT DEALS WITH THE ITCHING AND SWELLING. THAT'S IT. MAKE A PASTE WITH IT, PUT IT DIRECTLY ON THE BITE, AND YOUR DONE. PLEASE STOP DOING THAT. TAKE CARE. BLESSINGS. CHIGGERS TOO. AS FOR TICKS, USE BASIL ESSENTIAL OIL, IT DRAWS OUT THE STUFF, AS WELL AS FOR BROWN RECLUSE AKA FIDDLER SPIDER AND BLACK WIDOW POISONOUS BITES. WITH BITES FROM SPIDERS, TAKE A GAUZE, PUT SOME OIL ON IT, LAY IT OVER THE AREA OF THE BITE, CHANGE IT 3 TIMES PER DAY. DO NOT PUT TAPE OR ACE BANDAGE OVER IT, IT NEEDS AIR VENTILATION, JUST TAPE AROUND THE EDGES OF THE GAUZE. DISCLAIMER, I'M NOT A DOCTOR, AND SHARE THIS INFO, FROM MY PERSONAL LIFE EXPERIENCES BEING NEARLY 73 AND A GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER. WISHING YOU WELL. LOOK THINGS UP HOLISTIC AND NATURAL FOR YOURSELF AND FAMILY. BTW ANOTHER TIP, IF YOU EVER GET BURNED, USE AN EGG WHITE, IT STOPS THE PAIN IMMEDIATELY, NO SCARING. ITS PURE COLLAGEN AS IS YOUR SKIN. TO PREVENT MOSQUITOES TO BEGIN WITH: USE LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL 10 DROPS, CEDAR WOOD OIL-THIS IS GREAT FOR PET BEDS, AS IT KILLS FLEAS, AND I THINK TICKS, NOT SURE ON THE TICKS. OK BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS. PLANT THESE IN YOUR YARD: CATNIP WHICH IS STRONGER THAN DEET BY 10 TIMES, MERIGOLDS, BASIL, ,PEPPERMINT, ROSEMARY,

If you don't mind me asking do you happen to have any blown up 5 series huskys or know of anyone that has a 562 or 572 by chance I'm a timber faller and tree service guy that almost all my equipment was stolen the other day really need some saws that I can afford to buy

That’s freakin crazy, never seen anything like that! Have pulled at least 20 ticks off me this season the itch sucks so bad for so long all I do is scratch like crazy for relief. Also got poison ivy again which never happens, scrubbed area with tecnu I had which used in the past and it works pretty good at removing the oils. Thanks for the great info.

That’s crazy 😳 it doesn’t download some brain program that will make you vote for Biden does it 🤔

Rad

Very interesting

Man it’s bad out our way 😢

I don't want a chigger in my trigger. Don't lie Joe, we know that's your phone, it's ok😅. Seriously though, good video Joe, good information.

This year has been very mild so far for mosquitoes and ticks, I'm sure it's because we've had less rain than typical. Never used a device to relieve bug bites before, but very interesting to hear it actually works👍🏻 not surprising since I have used heat before. Thanks for sharing!

If you like battery saws I think the greenworks commercial 82cs34 and ego commercial csx5000 would be right up your ally.

I don't have the luxury of being able to order off Amazon or whatever. But my daughters will get me something if i truly need it. I got bit twice by a spider of some sort a few days ago and you talk about a huge itchy welt! Would of been interesting to try this for sure!

Ive never heard of those Mr Joe. Thanks for sharing. Looks like a handy device

Great advice, I’m extremely lucky as I don’t get itchy from bug bites or poison ivy. The other advice I have is permertherin and soak your clothes in it, it repels bugs and specifically ticks like nothing else

👍🆙OW, been doing this 4 years, i keep a spoon in the sun out in the yard 4 when i need it, I heat up the top of a lighter 4 inside use, big area(poison ivy) hot water👊

Cool little tool the ticks have been eating me up logging

Same thing happened to mine, I ordered the parts and fixed it for less than $10

Nice idea! NE Oklahoma is famous for chiggers. Thanks🙏🏿🇺🇸🪓

I have gotten bit by sand fleas twice in my life. I used clear fingernail polish. It stops the itch.

👍👍 interesting- bugs seem to be really bad this year in my area.

Mornin

Cool 😎
