Guys over on the Skog Forestry Forum put this video out.
Well done video but the faller operating it must have never got off working hourly pay rate.
The chain's depth gauges are way too low and he was struggling with it. ::)

Reading what they had under the video

This is our first review of the new 70cc chainsaw from Stihl - MS 462. It is a opponent to the also new, Husky 572XP. This is a first initial test and we have tested the chainsaw for about 20 refuels. It certainly is going to be interesting to see how these new chainsaws is taken by the market. MS 462 has alot of rage and power, despite that id weighs only 600 grams more than 60cc Stihl MS 361. Feel free to leave a comment either here or on https://www.forestry.com or http://skogsforum.se

I took a 2nd look at the video and it looks like 2 different operators with 2 different setup saws.
The first guy apologized "sorry for the dull Chain." But in fact it wasn't dull, either his depth gauges were too low or he had way too much hook in the cutters. His bar was upside down.

The second guy looked like a pro who cut daily. His screen was always down when cutting. He was alot smoother handling the saw, plus the bar logos were upright and it appears he either resharpened or replaced the chain.

The speaker also mentioned the 572XP with the X chain cut under 3 seconds. The 462 cut over 3 seconds in the same log with a Stihl RS chain.  But the 572XP took over 4 seconds  with the old Oregon rebadged H chain.

So what's the story on this Husqvarna C85 chain he mentions?  Just a more aggressive grind?  Lack of low-kickback bumpers? If it is so much better, why not use it on both saws, at least to compare?

So, if a Russian user 'mods' a saw, do we say that it has been 'hacked'?
