MS462C - 572XP Comparison

[frank rizzo]

I disagree, a product typically gains legendary status not by being better that the previous model, but because the newest model fell on it's face.
Think of the models that now have legend status.

That being the case ... I wood stock up on all the 461’s I could buy !

Lol

Lol

Would you like around 26pieces NIB?

 

[Stihl working Hard]

Nice shoes.



The 462 still isn't very eco friendly though.

It certainly won’t be after Randy gets his teeth into it

 

[EvilRoySlade]

Why did Stihl switch to strato instead of delayed scavenge? Simple design and fairly standard piston, seemed to pass EPA tests too.

I wrote “gonna be” meaning in a few years everyone would speak of & for it... time will tell but I think i m going to be correct

So your saying the saw that will replace the 462 will be a flop, that wouldn't surprise me, maybe you are right lol.

Good stuff Randy, thanks for taking the time.

Would be interesting to see these saws compared to their predecessors. 572 vs 372 OE and 462 vs 461, put them up against fully modded legends. The 462 gets a huge nod in the weight department, impressive. If it is built as rugged as the husky it’s a major win in mechanical engineering. But if it’s not, I’ll buy built tough over lightweight all day long. And that’s not because I think it will break, it’s because that’s just how I am. Over built is A+ in my book

Also mentioned at my original post that Stihl might think of Ms500i teething problems which I personally believe they would not exist or gonna solve quickly since they test injections at their tools for years.

I think if you want Stihl to fail you will have to wait

I hope that this is a new trend throughout the Stihl lineup. They need to continue to trim the physical size down. This 462 looks fairly close in size to the 261/362. I know which I’d rather use.

How’s stihl gonna do that wiff the 880 ?

They need to come out with a 962! Lol

 

[T.Roller]

See it all the time out west.. just sayin’.

Agreed. Had two of them pieces of *s-word. Never again, that’s for sure... besides, the 262xp gets the job done just fine.

Agreed. A 357 is badass too.

I’m not buying any of the hype over the 462 until I get my hands on one. Legend is more than just being lightweight.

 

[GCJenks204]

Any eta when they will be up there Gary?

Nothing firm yet. Regional Warranty Tech finally admitted they exist and he's had one in his hands for over a year. "Around the Corner" is the most defined time frame he offered.

I wouldn’t be so quick to sell them 461’s and 046’s

 

[RI Chevy]

OK. Send all the 462s to me then.

Send me that junk 460 you have. It’s outdated now. Lol

I've seen a 32 bar on an 026 from out there. I was not impressed.

Nope.
