Stihl 462 durability reliability

[MustangMike]

With about 10 tanks and a muffler mod, my 462 has a very broad power band. I used to have a 441, it has nothing on the 462.

Put a 24 or 28” bar on it. That 20 you say you run on it won’t show the torque curve as good. I do agree that I would buy a 462 over a 441 if I had to choose between the two.

To be honest, I’m a little embarrassed to have put a 36 on a 462, lol. My 661 just shook its head.

Holding up fine no problems yet..
Biggest complaint for me would be changing the tank vent

Is the tank vent something I need to address?

Not necessarily I just like to keep them fresh every month or so and it is not in a very convenient location
