Inside the MS462C

[StephK87]

Who will be the first one to dare to port this one? LOL

Maybe me [emoji28] like the 462 or 572, i have an order already for the 500i [emoji16]

NICE! I knew you would chime in. Keep the videos coming please on these 462s and 572s! [emoji106]

These new saws are so pricey...me thinks the used market might take a boom.

That’s a distinct possibility for sure

Don’t forget your friends here with the pics ,looking forward to seeing the 500i ported should be very impressive

No air prefiltering? C’mon stihl. Maybe they were trying to simplify it though? Not enough room maybe with the fuel injection stuff?

 

[BonScott46]

Maybe they are trying to keep it more 'Stihl like'.

Mr chicken legs in Tennessee without a doubt

It's going to be interesting to see how the Fuel Injection can be modified. Will it be like mtronic?
This saw will be a whole new animal.

Hopefully max flow filters will save Stihl again in that department

Hopefully it’s done automatically like the Mtronic I think Stihl will try and make it idiot proof here’s hoping at least

Shame a 661 is about 1200$ and you have to buy a maxflo right off the bat. I’ve seen saws with no air injection perform well, but the 661 is not one of them. Good saw otherwise.

 

[StephK87]

If i'm lucky enough, I'll have a 500i in march 19 and the lathe is waiting my order is set! But the amount of pre-orders are enormous for this saw I hope I get one from the first charge in march

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow! Maybe they will lower the price of the 462?

I'd say it'll be cheaper when it gets here. That's why I don't understand people buying them from other countries. I guess just to say they were the first in the US to have one.

In Australia a 661C is retailed at $2100 AUD ($1546 USD) thats why poeple get them from over seas.........

That's my point. They are much cheaper here. Guys here buy a saw not offered here for much more than it'll be when it's release here.

 

[AlfA01]

Sounds like a vacuum cleaner as well in the videos I have seen...

It is kind of nasally sounding.

Exactly why I always quote the pricing relative to another saw. It is that relation that is most important, $50 less than a 661 will likely be the same spread but the 661 in NA is much cheaper than in Germany.

Muffler needs to be gutted.

A white paper Stihl filter? No HD2?

That'll be part of the Magnum Package
