Inside the MS462C

[Mastermind]

My dealer checked with Bryan Equipment. Nothing.

Bryan is telling dealers I know that it will be next year........maybe second quarter even.

South-west, Saarland, Oberthal A small german-french beer and chainsaw GTG would be awesome! You are always welcome Guillaume

3 hours, that's not far. And my brother is only 1 hour from Oberthal.
I'll wait till my car is fixed, and we can make this European GTG!

i think Australia is in the same boat.

Here's a quick comparison between the 462, a new ported 461 and bone stock 562xp with good runtime on it.

it feels like the 462 is still adjusting in the cut, i think will repeat it with a proper charpend chain after another tank of fuel.
The 461 needs a finer tune.

One thing is clear, with slightly lower weight the 462 is crushing the 562 in terms of power per pound! It's a game changer

Did you use the same chain on the 461 and 462?

Same chain and bar on all three saw's. Never sharpend out of the box rs chain [emoji6]

Are you planning on using a stock 461 for comparison?

These pics come to us by way of @StephK87 from Germany. He was kind enough to void his warranty and send us these pics. Not only that, he will be porting this saw ASAP and gutting the stratos, Snellerized Style. I can't wait to see how this thing runs! It looks like a cross between a MS261CII and a MS661C.

Stephen's initial comments are that it's as light as a MS362, as strong as a MS461 but with better acceleration, and much better handling than a MS441.

13.18# dry.

I LOVE the dawgs!

Looks like a 661 muffler.

Look at the angle of the exhaust port!

if the drwgs arn't stock then where did they come from. they look bloody killer.. have to get a set of those. maybe 2 sets if they fit the 661

 

[VinceGU05]

another thing i noticed was with the flywheel. half the amount of fins saws in the past have had. lighter therefore faster spool up and lighter saw overall.

A friend of his laser cut them.

 

[MustangMike]

He did a very good job, I wanted a set of those also!!! Guess I'll just keep my 661 Rs!

That friend needs to start selling them.

As Brad say, they where made by a friend of mine. He also made them for the 261, 362, 461 and 661. I think it should be no problem to ship a bunch of dawgs to the US. 15-20$ each set of dawgs with a plastic separator role and screws except shipping costs. But we better wait for revision 2.0, he will come up with a updated version out of CrMo steel [emoji6] I'll keep you informed
