New MS462 C-M...

[stihlaficionado]

Video doesn't work though.

Worked for me

I'm told late May in Germany.

So 2019-ish in US of A?

Its a pro series saw. I'm confused as to what'saw vanity' & pricing have to do with anything?
2019 may work out just great. They can work the bugs out over there as well (unless we are all independently wealthy) we could start putting away $12 per week, or perhaps
$12.75..just in case we found the price to be a little inflated.
This way we can have 2 years of infatuation. How long does it otherwise last when purchasing a saw the usual way around here...you know,
on impulse?
Would anyone happen to know?

Oh nobody knows eh!

I'm sorry about the vanity thing ... that thing runs, no doubt.

Not to hijack ... same ballpark. "Lifted from youtube. 461 Stock" Impressed.

I'll try one as soon as available. If it's not better than a 372 then oh well

the 661 had mushy AV and i don't expect this saw to be any different. hopefully it's at least reliable though.

 

[Scablands]

I'll probably wait a year for the inevitable bugs to get worked out, but for nearly a 1.5 lb lighter saw, I'll be all over that.

Good literature ... I do thank you guys. "I'm not in the industry for a living". Two Questions:

1. Do all current production Stihl's feel spongy ... as opposed to Husqvarna?

B. Not to distract again ... "Has anyone seen, heard, anything since a thread 2 yrs ago about a (572xp)"

3. Thank You!

I had a ms362, they have springs, it seemed fine with a 20"...

I have a ms461 with rubber AV....I hear people complain about the vibrations, everyone handles things differently....

Now running a hand held blower for 4+ hours a day, that will make my hand go numb....

If/when I buy saws, I take all opinions seriously, from the knowledge guys here, but I like to try the saws for myself.....

What one guy calls spongy, one guys says it causes him carpal tunnel LOL!!!
