MS462C - 572XP Comparison

[Mastermind]

They're perfect with a 31 tho

 

[StephK87]

Not a lot of difference in size.

hard times for the 362

Better cornering/downforce with that rear spoiler.

Would love to see a 7900/7910 compared to these two new models.

Regardless, they all kill/maim, murder, slaughter innocent, defenceless trees.

The 462 will pick up speed and torque with break in

The husky will lose weight as bits fall off

Should be close

LOL
You win the internet this week.

Nice shoes.

The 462 still isn't very eco friendly though.

Where do you put your saws?

I too would like to see how the makita fares against the "new generation" offerings.

The 462c and 261c look like a very nice two saw plan. Bars/chains interchangeable.

Ported 241c and ported 461R make for a nice one-two punch also ... I run a 16” on the 241c and a 20”-32” on the 461R ... makes for quick slice and dice lol !

462 it’s an amazing saw.
It’s the Yardstick for others to measure for years to come.
It’s gonna be a legend.

Technocraticly speaking: STIHL gave a “best of” saw to the market just before the release of the new era -injection- saw. So if ms500i gets teething problems there is always the 462 for loyal clientele. This is very smart move.

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.

When I used a stock 462 some months ago it felt small and nimble you can see why in this pic

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.

That has been my plan since the 462 was announced. I’m getting really tired of waiting!!!

Yeah but I'm cheap too. Not willing to pay the premium to jump the line. I think I want mine as an Arctic Wrap anyway...

Any eta when they will be up there Gary?

 

[cgraham1]

A 70cc saw ain't designed for a 32" bar.

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

The husqvarna might need a lot more redesign, don't forget the cluster *f-word the 562 has been lol

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