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

[Blackgreyhounds]

I haven't read all of this thread. I own a ported 461 and that will be my 70 cc. saw for the rest of my life. However, I bumped upon these videos of the new Stihl MS462 and Husq 572. Not a lot of info, but it does give you some video of both of them "in action."
Stihl

Husqvarna

LMAO. We could have a tuner with code reader. [emoji106]

Aha. As long as the case widths are the same we can put a 572 crankshaft in a 372. You need 6003 bearings, you need to buy really nice ones to match the standard dynamics load rating of a standard 6202 though. Also need a 1mm shim behind each bearing since they're 10mm wide instead of 11mm. But it should work.

Anyone know the stroke length of the 462?

 

[DND 9000]

Piston stroke is 34mm on the MS 462 C.

 

[rocco490]

Thanks for the info wow that's a really short stroke! whats the bore is it 72 cc? I can figure the bore if it is......

 

[DND 9000]

Yes it is 72,2cc. Bore is 52mm.

If I believed in conspiracy theories I was have to believe that they dumped all the 441 and 461’s on North America so they can hold out on the 462 longer.

I believe this. I’ve seen 441’s and 461’s in places the never had them before and at the same time.

Piston stroke is 34mm on the MS 462 C.

So the same bore/stroke specs as the 272xp (34/52)? Interesting!

Nothing is random.

Nothing is random.

Porting looks completely different though from what pictures have shown

I'd sure as hell hope so.....

A 462 video I found.

But it doesn’t exist Jeff

 

[RI Chevy]

Nope. Very true. Interesting to see what new saws actually make it to the USA.

This guy doesn't discriminate. Here is the Hooskie 572 running same small bar and chain. LOL

SO there is a direct comparison between the Stihl 462 and the Hooskie 572. Same bar and chain. LOL

 

[Dub11]

Wtf why?

 

[RI Chevy]

Very odd indeed.
Like sending a boy to do a man's job.

 

[Terry Syd]

Wtf why?

Well, it does make the saw lighter and quicker handling and it does cut faster. Considering the bar and chain wear, I wouldn't recommend it for a commercial cutter.

That’s hilarious, put a 28” on each of them and find some big wood already. I like them both, these are exciting times for saw geeks like us.

Yes, a 28 or 32... if your running a 20 on a 70cc I suggest you try a 262/562/ms362
