MS462 FOR SALE IN GERMANY

[weedkilla]

I think husky should have released their 572xp a good 2 years ago to have a chance at being top dog for a while in the 70cc class. Meanwhile Stihl quietly designed and have actually got a saw ready to be released that even if the specs are close to being true will be a new benchmark pro saw. I'll buy any brand if the saw is good, but I think thus 462 will have husky guys making the switch. Who would'nt buy one! All damn husky had to do was make the 562xp 11cc bigger & fix some heat issues and BANG they would have owned the market for the last 2/3 years but they fumbled around for two long and now they have a big problem with this 462. It was not hard to knock off the big fat 441cm that was the size of a ninety CC saw, but they forked it up.

On the other hand - neither of them can afford to release a saw in this class that isn't well tested and reliable.

Take a picture down of a man as close to heaven on earth as you possibly can be?

Agreed, my main point was Husky has taken too long testing/R&D and it will now cost them sales. We all wish they engineered things right when we run a lemon in our hands. I just think Husky should have got there saw to market before the 462 to capitalise on the fact the current 70cc market is not where it could be as far as what's on offer. I'd have bought a 572 had it been released in the last two years, now I will be seriously looking at the 462. At least there is good things to come from both brands in this well loved class.

I'm in exactly the same boat. Two years ago I was sure I'd buy a 572.

Hell no brother I don't mind a bit!

 

[Stihl working Hard]

Very nice

I would be all over that offer no problems at all

 

[Stihl working Hard]

1248€. That's too much for a chainsaw. It can be light and powerful, but it's too high priced for a 70cc class saw.

I may have to get a husqvarna 70cc Saw into my stable at that price.I would hate to think what they are going to sell for in Australia

 

[Stihl working Hard]

I think those have been around a while. @Stihl working Hard are these the saws you get on vacation?

I get the 381 but the 382 is available if you look overseas haven't got them in Australia yet though,was having doubts if it was going to get released over here .I think the price of the 462 is BS It will have to come down in price it's more expensive than the 661 how does that work

 

[Stihl working Hard]

How about a used 461 Arctic with an AM tank?View attachment 80550

I didn't think it was coming to OZ

 

[GCJenks204]

I am not sure if this has been shared anywhere yet but if you can get past the German, skip to about 3:00 of the video there is a pretty good look "under the hood" of the saw.

Filter looks much smaller on the 462 compared to the 461
