ms 462

If they won't move on price, ask them to throw in some stuff like extra chain, etc. May or may not work. The dealers are tough around here also, which is why I'm glad some members are dealers.

Was quoted $1,180 with a 25" light bar. Dealers aroud here are sticking to MSRP it seems.

PM sent...

I cant get a deal on a stihl to save my life and I've been buying saws from the same couple places since I was 17.

 

[RI Chevy]

Me neither Domenick. Like they are all in cahoots. DSRP only here.

 

[maulhead]

All the small, ma & pa dealers around here stick to MSRP.

But a few of the big dealers in Denver will wheel & deal with you, most times they will knock $100 - $125 off the bigger pro saws without any asking, twist their arm a bit... or show them you have cash, they will knock $150 off the top of the big saws.

I'm not in the market for a 462 thou....

Mine has given me a great price on the 462! Sent one to another member a couple weeks ago.

I saw a 462 out here at a dealer a few weeks ago, with a 36" bar on it.

I asked the counter guy, they spec them for a 36?

He pulled out his book, and showed me, stihl (at least in this area) has them listed in the book with all the way up to a 36" bar.

They had some money off the remaining 461R . That what I pick up. Pho $860.00. 461 and 36 inch bar more like it

All dealers are holding out on the pricing world wide,give it a month or so and the prices will come down

That size bar and chain wouldn’t work downunder on our seasoned hardwoods.

I think that hanging a long bar like that defeats the purpose of this saw. For giggles I put the lightest 32” bar on it (without the chain even) and it just felt awkward. I’m not planning on going longer than 25” personally.

I can only imagine, I never handled or touched that 462 I saw, and it had a regular ES bar, not a light weight. I am sure it was nose heavy.

 

[AVAstihl]

462 with a 20” light bar is what I when with , comparing it to my 361 20” light bar , the 462 is a lot heavy then I expected it to be. Between this two.

The saw shares the same oil pump with the 500i and they can handle a 36 very well

But can the saw pull a 36 is more the question I think. Seems Stihl has flipped the script on this saw in terms of the oiling capabilities. Used to be that a Stihl could pull a longer bar than it could oil and now it (the 462) can oil a longer bar than it can comfortably pull.

First time I’ve heard the 462 referred to as heavy
