The more I see the more I want.

Wowwza! Looks nice and compact for a 462.
The muffler looks restrictive though. [emoji52]

Should feel like the OE 362. But hit that trigger and watch what happens!

I'll take a close up a bit later. But it looks like a 1/2 exit hole.

That's my train of thought also!

Yup about a 1/2 hole.

I haven't been excited about a saw in the last couple years, but these new 462's and 572's have my attention. Can't wait to molest them!

Also, the internal baffle. Will be interesting to see if the "non ported" saws benefit from removal of the baffle, or not.

So the upcoming new 462 will have to contend with the available 461, 372xp, 576xp, 7910. Missing anything? And the unavailable but highly touted 572xp.

Depending on how all this shakes out will determine if you buy the existing menu of available good saws or prepare for the 462 and 572.

TY Sir. Definitely gotta let that breathe a bit more.

Kinda make's one sad because it looks like we are going to get one 70cc saw after these two models hit the market. For year's we have had two options. 372-576, 441-461, 7300-7900. I liked changing them up every once in a while.

I'd rather they just get it right. The power of a 460/461 with weight close to a 362 C (Ver I)!!!

If it has good torque, I will call that a win! The Husky better be darn strong, cause I understand it is more than a pound heavier!

The fuel injected stihl will make a second stihl option when it arrives and the husky running 288/395 sized bearings in the bottom end bodes well for a big bore version of it in the future.

If Redbull thought that 7/8 hole was good for the 661 then 3/4 should be about right for this fella.
Would be interesting to see the rest of Steph's mods.

It's weird, but for the last few years I saw the new Stihl saws as heavy asthmatic pigs, but reliable and bullet-proff (except for the MT issues, we had a lot of issues with these carbs around here). And the last Husky's are angry little beasts, but not rock solid like some Stihls.

Now with the new versions of the 261/362, it's another story. These 2 looks like children's toys for me. My coworker's 362CM V2 seems flimsy with cheap plastic everywhere, my 562xp with his real clutch cover and his metal handlebar is more a "real professionnal saw".

And for these new models, I really hope this 462 will be solid, because if the 572 is obviously heavyer, she also looks much more solid with these metal inserts and these giants bearings and crankshaft.

Time will tell which way is the best, but I'm actually interested by both saws.

Actually the Stihl MS462C is the same weight as the Husqvarna 562XP.

I don't like to go by Mfg published info, it often changes and is inaccurate. On the scale, I think the 562 is close to 13 lbs (they now list it as 13.2, but used to list it as 12.8), and the 462 is really 13.2 on the scale (or very close).

That's probably more than twice the area of a 460 already, definitely not what I would call choked up.
