oE 372's were always about 14 pounds with standard wraps and clutch covers. 044's were as light as 13lbs 5 ounces with a standard handle and clutch cover and pre HD filter set up.

Hence the reason “spec” can’t be trusted. They most likely weigh them without clutch cover and spikes. Probably why the 462 was heavier than spec as well.

Very close to advertised specs, darn light for a 72cc 6 Hp saw.

Mason, more like the weight of a 262 or 562, not a 372.

A 262/562/362 will weigh less fueled up ready to cut because they hold less fuel and oil. But yes I agree the 462 does have a very impressive power to weight ratio vs other 70cc saws.

Andyshine77 shared this one in that thread. Maybe Brad left the clutch and clutch cover off the 462?

Dry weight.

 

[MustangMike]

Yep, the original 562 (5 bolt case) was lighter, the current one is stronger.

Conversely the 362 went from 13 lbs to 12.5 with the Ver II. 562s run a little stronger, but both have great HP to weight #s.

Hey, I'm the one who purchased a 362 when there was all the ridicule that they were "too heavy for a 60 cc saw" crap!

Carry on, you'll be fine! (Until a get a ported 462)!!!!
