Stihl 462

32" but Potato, Pototo.

I can concur. I even use a 34" from time to time

I'm liking the specs on this saw! I hope the saw lives up to them!

This will likely be my next new saw!

Is it just me or does anyone else think it will have some kind of tamper proof bs on it to keep us hillbillys from dicking with it?

No. They like to see what we can do with them. Look at the numbers from a 661 bone stock now

i will run a 462 against my 064
both with 32'' full comp 3/8 8 pin

Could any one summarize what the heck they were saying?

Saw looks good, but that also looks like softwood they are testing it in. My 044 flies through White Pine!

I think it was 044s will be shredded by the dozens when these come out and drink good bier from a Stein

I don't think that's what this saw is all about. I'm betting it's gonna be an awesome 20-24" bar saw. Maybe 28" light but even a 661 doesn't feel right with anything longer than 28 IMHO. They get real nose heavy. At 13.2 lbs I doubt it's going to balance a huge bar well. Im anxious to get my paws on one though. I'm thinking the 362 is now obsolete for anything other than it's cheaper. Weights are very similar and this is 1.5hp more.

My biggest excitement comes from hoping this gets husky off their butts and brings out their 572/590 saws

I wanted to have a 461 ported might hold off until mastermind gets a hold of one of these. These really might get launched this fall?

I've got a standing order for two of them as soon as they are available.

Yes I saw that. Can't wait to hear your thoughts once you get your hands on it. I'll be getting a hold of you to put my name on one once you start building them. Was gonna have you do a 461 but by the time I would have been ready for it, mine as well splurge on the new version.

The 362 Ver II is only 12.5 lbs, so there will still be a place for it. Also, the one Randy ported for me (a Ver I saw) pulls a 20" bar very nicely. I'm shocked how much difference changing the air filter made (as opposed to just cleaning it).

That said, the 462 sounds very exiting, and seems like it will be hard to beat as an all around saw.

That's what I'm thinking. Should do everything pretty well.

Are they considerably different from early models ?

The squish band looks like it's been cut before it's even touched too.

Wide and flat....

I think they watch what we do.

So any new rumours on this one? With Husky announcing a count down to their new intro does Stihl have something up their Lederhosen?

I think it's a race to see whose boat gets to the dock first and the container gets unloaded to the distributors...
