New MS462 C-M...

[mudfly]

I did see that the 441 is available again in the US on Stihl's website. I'd like to try the 462 when it comes out but not sure i'd buy one the first year or so.

Nothing more then a 441 with new clutch cover

I really hope the 462 is bad ass...however I do believe I will still be happy I got it, instead if waiting for the "mtronic" version....


Surely since a lot of these 461 are used by the smoke jumpers and other harsh environments, they will offer it in standard carb too??

Yea man, I'm waiting with cash in the bank.
Wish Stihl would give us followers first option.

And guaranteed you still love the bacon....

I hope used 461 prices will drop, at least a tiny bit.

 

[Khntr85]

So it lost 0.6(about 1.2lb) of a kilo and has the same HP, and is mtronic....


Surely they will offer it in standard carb version too???

Does the weight contain the bar? It seems heavy.

 

[ferris076]

6kg dry no bar and chain
7,4 with b&c ( 20"es light)

Does google translate work on that page Brad ?

 

[madhatte]

Huh. Guess my shop will be skipping the 461 generation altogether. I reckon I'll wait a year before making any purchases.

Dry weight, at least to me, is useless.

Motorcycle industry does the same thing. They weigh them w/o gas or oil in them.

Chainsaws should be weighed with a b/c on it, as well as a full tank of fuel and full tank of b/c oil.

If this hits the market before I pull the trigger on my 661 this may just be the ticket.

I thought everyone was in agreement ... "This thing is UGLY"

 

[Full Chisel]

I don't think it's ugly, it just looks a bit different. If it's relatively lightweight, screams, and is smooth in the cut its a winner in my book. The only thing the 461 was missing IMO was spring mount AV and looking at those pics the 462 has them. I just hope a standard carb version is available, which should be an option with all the M-Tronic/pro saws if you ask me.
