Anyone directly compared the new 462 to the new 572 yet?

The one I ran in ct wasn’t much behind ported 372xpw’s we compared it to. Quite a bit smoother and a wider powerband than a 372 as well.

Pretty sure I ran the same one as you but my experience was totally different.

Dave I feel the winning factor in the difference between the husky and the Stihl may come down to the $$ if Stihl overprices itself outa the market with the 462

462 hasn't made it here yet so I'll reserve any opinions till I run one. I don't care what specs say about weight.

Bob brought his 572 to the ct gtg

Bob brought his 572 to the ct gtg.

Oh ok different one.

Seems to me that the guys that have been most impressed with the 572 have also been running the new X85 chain.

I remember Bob saying that it took some time to get it broke in. He was running a 20-24” bar I believe and I think oregon exl chain.

I was hoping the saw just wasn't broke in.

It's a Stihl, it has issues already.lol

Yup! True Dat.
Damn things just scream and cut all day. They ain't no good. Crap, they even make money. I mean I can't like something like that. I'd have to throw my tools away and find something different to do.
LMAO

That guy can cut! I learn lots by watching.

 

[T.Roller]

For some reason I can't watch them

To me listening to him talk is worse than nails on a chalkboard. What good is a 15min saw video with a minute of cutting and the rest commentary when you can only watch it on “mute “?

I literally can't click and watch the video

 

[RI Chevy]

Try a different item. You using a computer or your phone?

I always use my phone.

I watched it, well some of it. Like to see real wood.

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol.

If the 462 is the same as a 461 power/torque wise and with the air injection/spring av setup it should be a great saw. I’m a fan of how a 461 runs... even bone stock they are pretty good. If it’s not as powerful as a 461 that’s a step behind imho.

 

[RI Chevy]

462 should be more betterer!
