I remember, back in 2019, when I started looking for a professional saw, ProHo recommended a MS 461. I bought 1, and a month later, bought a backup, because ProHo definitely believes 2 is 1, and 1 is none. I hope you have a good Easter Sunday, Wranglerstar family. God bless.
Yup, I was going to take some trees down and bought a brand new Stihl - and then realized I would need a backup in case It got stuck - which it did on the very first cut. You need at least 2 saws.
I like my husky starts 3rd pull everytime and I've only had one part that needed replaced in the 12yrs I've owned it. 5yrs of those were heavy use as we burned wood for heat. Just used it yesterday
I just picked up a new ms462 Thursday afternoon. First thing I did the follow day was dump fuel on my boot. Then unfortunately I proceeded to run it over with my skidsteer. I'm still in hopes that it can be repaired. Dropped it back at the shop I got it from and purchased another just like it. With a little luck the first one can be repaired and I'll have a backup also
With just a few simple tools I'll show you how to take care of a stump. You'll only need PPE, Chainsaw, a hoe.......... and a mini excavator, that's it!
I was shown by a very skilled chainsaw expert how to use the backside of the bar when cutting a stump to throw the chips under the stump to keep it from settling down on the bar as you cut. Helps when not using wedges. I think I saw you that method at times. Thanks for all the skills you have demonstrated through the years.
As owner/user of several Stihl saws, I can confirm I’ve accidentally dumped fuel/bar oil probably 5-10 times. I tend to blame myself more than the cap design.
I'm not sure if you are a mushroom guy but old stums like that are perfect for infecting with edible mushrooms. One of the easiest things to grow if you have piles of dead wood and stumps lying around like that. I'm sure the missis would love it too.
Hi Cody, as a stihl chainsaw mechanic at my local shop i saw a lot of the oil/fuel filter caps go wrong, mainly the locking ring system jumping past its place and being very hard to resite it if at all. The other thing of most of them are not interchangeable from model to model. Stock up on them as it can mess up a completely usable saw in the coming dark ages.
My best advice would be to make sure that when you undo it whilst still in the tank that the lift flap is precisely aligned and as you take it out that the tabs are in the right place, it normally goes wrong when you reinsert and try to tighten and it then pushes the lock ring back on itself. Slowly Slowly catchy monkey
My Stihl dealer taught me a trick with the caps. Mark the off dot with a red sharpie and the on dot with a black sharpie. This way you know the off location and the on location and no more guessing. Works for both fuel and bar oil. Apparently the caps are different in Europe so that there is no confusion.
That's a west coast saw all right. Full wrap. And yeah I don't like those lever lock caps all that much either. Stumpin' is hard work wallowing and digging in the dirt, but it's necessary.
Maybe consider planting a few edibles or low management food resources? In Australia theres a very popular nursery that sells only Aussie native bush tucker. Great for roots, Billy teas, herbs and fruit/berries. Maybe an American version of local tucker?
Just did the mushroom technique the other day on a big silver maple stump . Thank you Cody. Love a good ole forestry video. Bless you and your family this resurrection Sunday 🙌🏻🙏🏻✝️🌲
I find if you check the cap is locked in by pulling on the tab before you push the tab down, works quite well. If it is not locked in it will simply pull out. Love your content, thank you for taking the time to make it.
The older the STIHL the less variables involved. Sounds like the idle is a bit low.. So glad to hear your older man advices, particularly in the oppressed freedoms arena.. God bless you sir!
I'd up the rpm as well. Especially on a Stihl x61 series. Newer saws spin faster and anecdotally I agree with the theory, smaller chip evacuated quicker = cuts faster. ...I should set my 660 up to run 10sprocket 043...

@craigadair128 At some point you have to weigh the expense of your time and energy versus just paying someone to do it. I can do a lot of things. Probably way more than the average person.

Cody, if you use the top of the bar to flush cut a stump, it packs the kerf full of saw dust and prevents the bar from getting pinched. -East Coast Man
To this day, I still do the stump cutting technique you showed with Jack when he was little. Digging around the stump to get the saw low to the ground and then tracing around the edges of the tree with the saw, chamfering the edges and pulling the dirt back in. Happy to see your still spilling stuff on the ground before you get stuff done, it your flawed humanness that has kept me watching for over 10 years.
As someone from a country that uses metric system, i am really curious about why people don't like it. can you please explain why do you think it's bad?
Hugo, es un chiste, el sistema metrico en verdad no es mal, solo diferente, y para la gran mayoria de los americanski's estamos mas acostumbrados al sistema americano.
You amaze me with your extensive knowledge. Even the little things like tapering the edge of the stump. Makes a ton of sense but never thought about it myself. Thank you!
My favorite food is cucumbers. I get cucumbers from a friend of mine at the gym and the cucumbers lasted forever. But, if I get them from Walmart or any other grocery store, the cucumbers are mushy within 3 days. My friend's cucumbers could be in the refrigerator for a week or two and still hard as the day, I got them. I love to have a garden, but my yard is full of English ivy. I would have to use a Bobcat and rototiller it up. My Dad used to put them in vinegar and onions. Everything in the store has gotten expensive, so I want to grow my own.
Also I had the same thing happen to me on my stihl ms391 . Took 5 mins to figure out how to get the oiler cap back on 🙄. Went and drooled over some Husqvarna saws today 😂
@@nicholasnewton6775For my purposes I use a Stihl Ms 270. Zero issues. Starts up every time. Might only be a 16" bar, but I've cut a large maple with it. Just takes a little longer.
I don't really have a problem with Stihl caps. The very first couple times I fueled and oiled a Stihl saw I didn't get the cap on right and I had to fix it, but after that I kind of just automatically memorized exactly which position the cap needs to be in to put on correctly. The two tone black and white on the cap really helps. You want the little flip up latch open with the left side facing 8 o'clock and the right side of it facing 2 o'clock if I'm thinking right. That will line up the 3 different size pegs with the appropriate sized notch, then all you gotta do is give it a quarter turn and flip the latch down. I would say that Mr. ProHo here must not run his chainsaws very often anymore if he's having trouble with these caps.
That os my biggest gripe with them as well! My old 029 (never should a traded it ) and O36 with the original screw on oil and fuel caps are perfect! couldnt have improved on these saws. new MS400 has the little flip caps but they are noticibly more positive feeling than the ms250 i recently sold because it was useless
I had one of those annoying caps pop off me for the bar oil. A full tank drained right down on my chaps before I ever knew what hit me. I always triple checked the caps each and EVERY time after that.
No Cost guy but I have became accustomed to the locking mechanism with little trouble. I will agree the old threads were not bad. However I had a tendency to get them too tight. Then it was troublesome to get them loose without deforming the plastic.
A friend of mine has 5 or 6 different Stihls and that is his big complaint too. Let him use my Husqvarna 460 rancher on a big tree job the other day and he loved it. Both brands are good, I liked the price of the Husky so that's what I went for. Don't regret it at all
You were the one who inspired me to get a saw and start cutting. I started doing clean ups on downed trees 6 years ago, and today I brought down a 60ft 100 year old elm with a 6 foot base... My biggest tree. Your poise and industriousness inspire me daily.
Yep I hear you on that complaint as well , purchased a really nice pair of Redwings at my local action got to enjoy them looking good for a day went to cut firewood, fired my 460 up looked down and bar oil was all over then new kicks . Stupid new oil cap wasn't engaged just like yours did!!! It just goes to show that even a perfect East Coast man can do foolish things sometimes too.
I love the nee cap design, i never had a problem with it! I like them much better than the screw caps that can get so stuck if someone over tightens them
I’ve had the same thing with the fuel/oil caps so many times… when a guy burns several gallons of fuel a day it happens more often than you think. And of course it typically happens when I’m near someone’s nice asphalt or concrete driveway that I after filling have to walk across hence dragging the fuel/oil all over nice pavement. I wish there was a solution, but without running the older saws there isn’t.
That’s a damn well tuned saw. Any chance we can get an in depth, step by step, H L & Throttle adjustment guide from you? I’d love to see how you take a saw - set everything to stock - then dial them each in. A lot of videos focus on the H & L jet but disregard the throttle, and throttles aren’t always set correctly, so seeing your methodology for all 3 from start to finish would be phenominal. Thanks in advance!!
Think it would be nice if you could plant some kind of fruit tree in that area. However I don’t really know what grows that far north. Sure something does. Great work!
I think using chainsaws is a lot like most else, routine is good. When my saws go to sleep at night, they are ready to go in the morning. Sharp, full, choke on, brake on, chain guard on. When I need a saw, I pull off the guard and pull the cord. When my caps are not seated tightly, they pop up when the cam is engaged. That is my clue to retighten.
It may be because most of my equipment is at least 10 years old but all my my Stihl equipment has the screw on gas caps. Didn’t ever have to mess with those
Stihl makes the best chanisaws in my opinion. If the cap is giving you problems, it would be worth it to call and order a new one. None of my saws have that problem. I have had that issue with another Stihl tool, but not my chainsaws. And it only bothered me until I figured out the gasket was slipping if I didn't put it on straight before I turned it.
A nice centerpiece would be a fruit tree of some type, one with beautiful blossoms in the spring and the added benefit of being another food source for you and or wildlife.
Plant an American Sycamore tree. We spent a long weekend in Walla Walla last year and walked through Pioneer Park to see some giant sycamore trees. The Sweet Gums were nice too as a backup.
Up until recently, I would think the whole cap issue was nonsense, but the cap is actually two pieces and sometimes it can get some wiggle in it and it can make it extremely difficult to get the cap on properly at times
My neighbor started his saw without the safety set and started and cut his leg just about his knee. I decided quickly to acquire chaps. I also start my saw pinned on the ground with the safety on.
You know, one of the things you taught me many years ago, at least I'm pretty sure it was you... that these quality chainsaws are meant to be ran at full tilt, not just capable of it. It can clog the spark arrestor and cause other problems. Maybe something worth mentioning again. I would always try and go less than full throttle in the past until you explained it. I hope I'm right thinking it was you.
Hard to beat a 461 but I gotta say, the 462 is a hell of a saw too. I’ve been running one for the last 6 months or so and I have really taken a liking to it.
I love watching your skill in the excavator... How you test the stump to see if it will break without running the hydraulics to the max, how many guys would just run right hard until the bypass kicks in.
Most people don’t have the nice machinery you have. We used horses to pull are brush in the day and various chores. Just a different horse power. Nice video. Jack will have a nice place to raise his family. Great gift you are leaving your kids!
Just make sure the rental has sharp teeth. Dull rentals have gotten me more than a few stump jobs. The burn marks on the stumps always make me chuckle.
So you used a piece of equipment I don’t have (mini excavator) to solve the problem of not having another piece of equipment (stump grinder)…. I understand the overall video, but kind of ironic.

Up until recently, I would think the whole cap issue was nonsense, but the cap is actually two pieces and sometimes it can get some wiggle in it and it can make it extremely difficult to get the cap on properly at times
I would plant some wildlife attracting tree's. Maybe a Mountain Ash & native crab apple.
My neighbor started his saw without the safety set and started and cut his leg just about his knee. I decided quickly to acquire chaps. I also start my saw pinned on the ground with the safety on.
You know, one of the things you taught me many years ago, at least I'm pretty sure it was you... that these quality chainsaws are meant to be ran at full tilt, not just capable of it. It can clog the spark arrestor and cause other problems. Maybe something worth mentioning again. I would always try and go less than full throttle in the past until you explained it. I hope I'm right thinking it was you.
2 strokes need to run.
I know you’ve contemplated a new saw… that 461 is still gorgeous after all these years I must say
Hard to beat a 461 but I gotta say, the 462 is a hell of a saw too. I’ve been running one for the last 6 months or so and I have really taken a liking to it.
Cody I think should get some Australian hard wood for in the garden , it just impossible to kill
I love watching your skill in the excavator... How you test the stump to see if it will break without running the hydraulics to the max, how many guys would just run right hard until the bypass kicks in.
I have several Stihls and never had a problem with their caps.
sun dial on the stump and some birch around it 👍
You should try tannerite.. Ore a near but superior equivalent. Then it might actually have been cheaper than renting a stump grinder. XD
Most people don’t have the nice machinery you have. We used horses to pull are brush in the day and various chores. Just a different horse power. Nice video. Jack will have a nice place to raise his family. Great gift you are leaving your kids!
Rent a stump grinder
Just make sure the rental has sharp teeth. Dull rentals have gotten me more than a few stump jobs. The burn marks on the stumps always make me chuckle.
Stihl has some of the best saws out there but those caps tend to get you every once in awhile
The stihl caps are just fine when you take the time to understand it. Theres litterally a diagram on most new saws.
Update your caps to the newest version with the blue O-ring.
Joel Salatin is a LEGEND.
😌
I got the exact same saw from new I got to pull it 5 times to get it to pop
Thanks!
When is your next meet and greet?
I've also noticed that Stihl gas caps will leak after a few years. Something about that bayonet clip design just doesn't really work right.
I love this outdoors content again.
I don't hate the caps but I never saw a problem with the simple screw ones either.
I wish my oak stumps were that easy to deal with.
Who makes the fuel cap on your saw?
You weren't joking. That really was the fun part.
So you used a piece of equipment I don’t have (mini excavator) to solve the problem of not having another piece of equipment (stump grinder)…. I understand the overall video, but kind of ironic.
Do you have a stump you need help with?
Guys losin the plot slowly it’s kinda obvious 😅
Glad i'm not the only one that noticed that! " . . as long as you have a chainsaw and some basic tools" proceeds to use a $70k mini excavator.
@@michaeldallmann846 what are you glad about?
@@michaeldallmann846 do you need help with a stump?
It's like the infomercials where people have difficulty with the most simple tasks.
Looks great. Happy Easter too you and your family. God bless 🙏
Must've been hard for Jack to get up that tree with those big balls. Lol. Good for him. Great job.
My burn pile would have been on top of that stump...
