Inside the.....? (solved, MS 500i)

Mike. Your 462 should wipe the 044s arse. And take its lunch money twice on Sunday.
If not there is something wrong with it.
You gotta be real here...

I don’t entirely agree

I just cut a couple of beech trees the other day with my muff modded 10mm and it was not slow by any stretch with a 24 inch bar buried.

I was back and forth between my 440 and 462 with “identical” bar/chain setups in the same wood, same fuel, etc. No arses were wiped. (Or whipped, as I believe the analogy should read)

It’s been a long time since I had my early 12mm slant fin 044, but that saw was very strong from memory. If anything I think the 462 might make a little more peak power... but the 044 has a little more grunt. I would take the 462 every time though, the overall saw is better imho.

The 462 is light, has spring AV and instant throttle response, making a very pleasant saw to use, but as far as performance I think it and my 10 mm 044 would be quite close. I will bring them both to the CT GTG in a week and a half.

My 044 is modded (but not ported) (timing advance, base gasket delete, etc) and the 462 just has a muffler mod. I would guess the 044 runs a bit faster and the 462 has a bit more grunt, so in the wood they should be very close.

Round two!!! Let's get it on!!!!

I have a late Mahle 10mm red lever(Serial No. 128x). It's the only saw I have owned where I thought needed nothing - then of course I went and added a dual port muffler and advanced the timing I would love to have a 462, but they are still over a grand here. And, admittedly, I am rather fond of my 044.

My 044 was my only saw for 18 years, did anything that needed to be done!

I don’t have stock saws to do the comparison

Doesn’t matter really, if there were 20 comparisons done. Somebody somewhere will always think that what they have is better. Wether it be a 044, or 460, or 461, or some variant. Any one of these saws could beat a 462 on any given day. Too many different variants of these saws to make judgement by testing one or even 10 of them.

Well said!

 

[MustangMike]

Hey, I love my 462 … light, smooth, powerful, instant throttle response … all in all hard to beat … but that does not mean that I'm going to lie and say it will out run everything else!

It is about time that Stihl came out with a legitimate replacement for the 044/440!

Nothing is unbeatable. Sometimes you just get a “good one” or a “bad one” too.

 

[concretegrazer]

That's just something losers say.

It’s page 7 of the Stihl handbook
