ms 462

[huskyboy]

Well I'm not the guy who runs out and buys the newest thing out there! Besides I think I'll like this better and it's proven itself already!

They are a beast modded. Pick up a max flo and ho oiler and you have a production animal. Not as smooth as the 7900’s or a 372, but not that bad for rubber av.

My local dealer still has no clue regarding the 462 or 500i.

Jeff Ri harvesting has 462 in stock

Saw a 462 in person today! Stopped at my dealer to order some parts and there it was!

look at the fit n finish on that saw....stihl perfection at its finest

Yes and no. Headed to Arkansas today. I was home from Tuesday to last night. I did cut some pine trees off a fence last night with the extra sausage 562. Got the piss knocked out of me when the fence wasn’t dead grounded out [emoji15]

I keep getting conflicting timelines on the 500i. The local dealer here just got to play with one in Calgary a couple weeks ago and was told then that we would be seeing them very soon in Alberta. And yet the dealer that I do 95% of my business with emailed me a couple weeks ago saying that he just got word that we wouldn’t be seeing them until March of 2020.

I would like to think we will see them sooner then later but we still can’t get a wrap handle for the 462 yet so I don’t have real high hopes of seeing the 500i any time soon. But I have been wrong before, quite often actually lol

My dealer here still has a 462wrap on the shelf and one NIB. Can’t understand why Edmonton hasn’t been re-supplied yet.

Arctic Wraps is a totally different story that is starting to drive me batty. Might need a wrap non Arctic and an Arctic flush handle...

I'm pretty happy with my 461 ported, sadly I haven't had any big wood to test it in. Was at the saw shop today getting square files and was eyeing up another 461 and 661

I can't believe you left it behind... Team Stihl card may get revoked...

Absolutely Gary

+Update

+Update+
Just got out of the police station I had to go up there so I can identify my saw. They said I will have to appear in court with documents to prove it's mine and that it shouldn't be a problem getting it back. She will contact me next week for a court date.

Suks because I'll have to take a day out of work but I am pressing charges because I want the day's pay from this loser.

He's very lucky I didn't meet him in a dark alley...he wouldn't be able to walk for a week.

Gee you blokes are lucky cops here won't lift a finger unless it's worth $5000 and even then you don't count on them to do anything .
It sucks

I think the guys out west are gonna kill it quick with big bars..i don't think the A/V will take it.

That's not a good thing in my opinion.

But I think its a home run for polishers/firewooders/service guys who wanna run 20-24" bars and tell stories about it on OPE.

EXACTLY althow I haven't used one I would bet it will be just as spongy like the huskys 390 and yes I had one and then sold it then got a PORTED stihl ms460 .

Jack just posted this vid side by side comparison.

That video is god awful, I got 5mins into it and all he done was tach the idle and change it. Don't watch it, it goes for 18mins!

 

[rocco490]

Im really liking the 462 I think one might be in my future if I can find the funds

Yup then it gets dark outside and can't see much. He should have tuned those saws before making video.

 

[huskyboy]

No need to tach a mtronic/autotune out of the wood anyway. There limited.
