MS462C - 572XP Comparison

[MustangMike]

OK, good to know.

 

[sawmikaze]

Saw isn't even out yet and we are coming up with POTENTIAL downfalls? Jeeesh. WTF

Ya..the people that are actually gonna put them through their paces wanna know if its money well spent or if were gonna buy one and its gonna have 15 updates the first year it's on the shelves.

Jeeeeesh ?...you sound like my great grandma lol

Things have gotten to complicated, I miss the forum days when the stihl guys would rather be set on fire than pick up a saw with spring a/v and all quad port saws had no torque...

Spring mounts, AV limiter maybe. That’s my guesses from the pictures.

The 462 spring mounts look good, the front spring mount is the same design as the 395XP. Vertically positioned to handle long bars.

There's a pic of it over at Chainsaw Repair index on my 462 thread.
If I knew how I'd transfer it over here. Anyone is welcome to give it a shot.

Same spring position design as the 395XP

Same as the 661. They get mushy quick with longer bars. The foam type limiter in the pocket up there by the spring gets soft. The Wv limiter pocket on the right side can be busted with long bars or yanking on the saw. I took a small AV dust plug and put in the 661 to help limit the movement and hopefully spread the load out on that pocket.

Interesting , thanks. A 25" is max that I'd run on the 462.

If you notice cracks in the picture thats not on the saw, it a cracked screen on my old phone.Lol
I took a picture of the picture on my old cracked phone with my new phone, then posted it on the thread

I like running a 34” on my 70cc saws.

How’s the oiler with the 28” bar buried? My 046 I had with the standard oiler (461 uses same oiler) was stingy with a 28” bar in maple. If I kept it any longer it was getting a ho oiler.

Punch the pin in and move on...easy mod that I was shown at the GTG.

I saw no pin that restricted movement on 046/461 oiler, only on a 661. Unless I’m missing something?

Any photos of the pin Cole?

362rcm on the right 462c on left. The 462 is 1/4” longer and it feels lighter, I know I don’t have the chain on in the pic. The AV is much stiffer on the 462.

Glad to see you being diversified........by not asking for air filter picks...

Steels are good for selling...least that's what I've read.

 

[sawmikaze]

Hard times ahead for the awesome 362c.

 

[Backtroller]

No kidding. Besides the added price I know I’d rather have 70cc.

The biggest downside is the price of this new 462
