ms 462

Wonder if the (r) model has stiffer springs?

Nope...ive ran both half and wrap models now..same same.

It feels like a 60cc saw would feel with a 28" ... the wrap model helps that a little bit.

Does it feel like a big bore 562?

I think treemonkey says you can push in the oiler pin for more oil just like a 661.

You can.

Not in my opinion.

Idk Jeff that's big shoes to fill.

You can do it Chris. I have total confidence.

It kills me seeing stihl slowly do away with the screw-on filter cover. One of the reasons I switched to Stihl.

 

[huskyboy]

Not in my opinion.

Interesting, any saws it feels similar to?

It feels like a 462...the power is impressive for the size of the saw.

20-24" is tits for this saw.

My opinion.

 

[sawmikaze]

Could care less about air injection or how qwik a filter gets full.
I want a solid saw...not a race car!

No offense, just my 2¢

You're gonna hurt all your buddies feelings on here talkin like that.

How so? Just my opinion

 

[sawmikaze]

With a 28 light bar? Or a normal bar?
I don’t have that feeling with the 28 light bar

A standard bar.

Run it more, you'll get my drift.

 

[huskyboy]

A standard bar.

Run it more, you'll get my drift.

A standard bar is what 90% of people run in the real world anyway.

 

[Stihlms]

Maybe the 462 was designed to be ran with there lightweight bars.

All in all the 462 is tough to beat in the segment.

Stihl was getting killed by husky so they stepped up thier game.

Home run out of the park!

No worries Ryan. We're all big boys here. But he is right. These twist on filters suck as far as tightness goes. Should be able to get much more torque when twisting it on. Shouldn't have to rely on the soft squishy rubber to seal it up.

I prefer the screw on filter cover Jeff.
That was me spouting off.

 

[Stihlms]

Ryan was talking bout bars and such.

Idk about the big boys part..I see some guys on here turn into a 12 year old girl pretty quick sometimes..

I don't know about cranking down the air filter tight as can be ..that doesn't really mean jack sh!t to me...as long as it filters air well who cares.

Im not an A/V expert but it seems like they had light bars in mind..idk..that probably doesn't make any sense.
