ms 462

Time will tell Dan

For sure Todd. I'm liking the look of this mesh filter. It's double layered and the microns seem right to stop enough fines.

If the air injection keeps the filter box from getting packed with sawdust, it should be a good combo on the 462, IMO.

The only concerns I have on the 462 at the moment is the bottom end staying together.Are the mains and crank going to hold up maybe @tree monkey can chime in with his thoughts on the bottom end

I do not believe it will be a concern. With the lighter, shorter stroke crank, there will be less stress on those parts, and I believe they are using the same bearings the 460/461 uses, which have held up just fine over time.

Just because someone else went bigger does not mean that the status quo is not more than enough.

the husky may need the bigger bearings some of there pistons husky uses are overly heavy and hard on bottom ends the stihl may have a much lighter piston and with shorter stroke puts significantly less stress to the bottom end

The MS 462 dosen`t use the same bearings as the MS 460, 461, there is a own set of bearings used just for the MS 462.

Do we know the specs for these 462 bearings?

Should be on the IPL. Looking for one though in english greek or even finnish

 

[DND 9000]

No specification for the bearings written there.

I thought someone posted something about them on one of the comparison web sites, and I thought they were similar to the current 461s (but maybe a little different).

Stihl saws are known for being pretty durable, and I don't think that will change. Even my 10 mm 044 is still going strong. The crushed tank holder was replaced, and new seals + rubber (just as a precaution), but the rings, P+C and bearings are all original. I'm sure you could kill it if you wanted to, but if you keep the chain sharp, the air filter clean and run good mix, it will last almost indefinitely. I was just using it for some light duty milling of some Cedar the other week.

Anymore news on the 462 the trail seems to have gone cold

We definitely need to get back on the rails here! For the good of the order.

Ran it last week. She runs very good. I am sure the guys will do some more vids once they can.

 

[RI Chevy]

Thank you Cole. What are your impressions? Come on. Spill it. Lol

 

[Armbru84]

It’s light and powerful. Lol. It feels like it’s going to be tough to beat for the guys packing a saw and heading to the woods. It handles a 28 well.

 

[RI Chevy]

Was it fully broke in? Or still needed few more tanks?

 

[Armbru84]

My guess is that it’s geting close to fully broke in.

 

[RI Chevy]

OK. Good. TY sir.
