- Today I got my hands on a Stihl MS 462 C-M, 72cc and only 13.2 Lbs. This saw is really fast! Lots of Torque and super fast acceleration. This is a game changer!

I LOVE my 462. I primarily use mine for disaster relief with the Southern Baptist Association. I was blown away as well with it's speed, power and weight. Stihl really knocked it out of the park with this one. Very impressive saw. I can run a 36" on mine and have had it completely buried in a 60" diameter oak and it sailed right through it.
i love mine. i saw 72cc @13lbs and 6hp on the shelf for $1300 and bought it right away.
it did not disappoint. i have a 395xp as well and it is not losing by a ton cutting 40" rounds.
at the power to weight you cant't lose.
Nice saw I have recently bought a ms 661 to replace my old 440
Edward Podhrasky I’m torn over which one to get. I want to put a 25”-30” bar. Would the 661 be better?
Mike, I was a bit skeptical of the M-Tronic too. But after a full year of cutting/clearing for my house using my 261C-M, I’m a believer. It’s like EFI for chainsaws! From the snow and cold of winter to the blistering heat and humidity of this past summer, I never had a problem with fuel mixture, operating temp, or starting. The system is legit! I think the 462 may be a little much for what I need, but it would be fun to use for a month or so!
I guarantee you try it for a week you'll own one!
Love those large coasters you cut:) a truly outstanding saw and lumberjack!
Nice saw, I love the Stihl saws. Even though my 30 year old Stihl 025 is still going strong, I decided to get an another one. Since I don't have a sponsorship, I felt that the MS261C-M, was more than enough at a cost of $700+.
It's a mean saw. I got one last summer. Wasn't much on the shelf when I was at the dealer a few weeks ago. Need something a little lighter for lapping. My old Husky 41 runs good but you know how they are. Sometimes you can pull and pull and they won't start. Maybe a MS 261 C-M with 18" bar. Less a few pounds anyway.
Lots of nice serving trays or cutting boards if you can keep them from cracking. Now you need an open arm drum sander to finish them.
I think i am going to go buy one of those saws for cutting trees down i have 2 of the 362's and 311 but that looks like 462 is next
bust out a grand
STIHL WOOOOOO!!!! Glad to hear they're lightening things up ....my MS 311 was way too heavy
Can't wait till they let you try the fuel injected model. 500i.
When's that coming out?
Yaa maan, STIHL MS 500i is the real game changer.
September 2020 Ontario Stihl rep said
The information I saw was the 500 was heavier and not as fast as the 462. I do however like the fuel injected platform. Fuel injection has been so much better in snowmobiles I wouldn't even consider a carburated sled at this point. I think the weight and complexity of the fuel injection in a smaller package is the hold up.
U should do a comparison with the 462 and 500
As an everyday chainsaw runnin, tree climbin weirdo, the 462 is possibly my favorite saw of all time. I have a 460 and ms461 for comparison also, lots of hours behind the triggers. The 462 is absolute a game changer not only for professionals and guys who feed their families on a saw, but farm/ranch/home use also
Is it that much better than a 046 Magnum/460? Thanks
@@Mogman150 lighter weight, yes. Up to a 28 inch bar is very comparable for power
I think my next saw.
Looks like a beast, so is the price tag😕. I just bought a ms311 and that is a beast. I not sold on more electronics on a chainsaw. Good video. Get some logs up to splitter area before the next rain maker gets there. We here in Indiana are going to get hit with another weekend of rain storms.☔
Nice saw. I love my stihl power tools as well.
Mike sewing so you got the stihl hook up you should get a saw in artic model with the heated grips 👍🏻
Nice! That’s a great p/w ratio. You know if you run nitromethane , all you have to do is start your Stihl saw and the tree will fall down.
Big coasters Mike.
M tonics was done for emissions reasons not our benefit. That said the next step will be real efi like on the new 500. The 362 is kinda heav saw for its power I run a 260 and 460.
Do you have any idea what these are actively retailing for right now? Stihl's site has no mention anymore and no dealers have them so can only get wild guesses.... Seems this is one of the last of "the old designs" in a lot of ways (this and the non-mtronic 661 I guess) and am not interested in their "newer gen." stuff, the 462 was their only unit I was wanting (that versus the echo 7310, but the 462 seemed to be edging it out IF you could keep its price close to low 1000's!)
Mike
You were aware they make the MS362CM now that replaced your carb version? I have the 362CM now, sold my old 362. The MTronic system gives the saws more lower end torque. I have a MS441CM as well. The MTronic is a great system in my opinion. The nay Sayers hate anything new, I'm sure they still drive vehicles with 3 on the tree transmissions and points under the distributor cap! Lol have a great day!
That saw Rips!
Nice saw. I run a Husqvarna 372XP. The engine is very powerful and fast. The challenge for me is to keep the bar and the chain in top condition so that the saw can do the work it is capable of doing. I run 20 inch, 24 inch, and 28 inch bars on mine.
just bought one. Pricey at $1200 but it is an absolute beast. It just rips through hard wood and soft and it is light. Instantly my favorite saw and I have more than a few.
It will be interesting if it holds up over time
When is the 462 going to be available for purchase in the USA? None of the dealers I’ve spoken to over the past year seem to know anything about it when I inquire about the 462. We’ve got a lot of timber I need to clean up. Tim @ Cliffside Acres
Tim , im in northern ohio, my local dealer had one , soldit the first day he had it. He said they are available here , but they have to lean on their regional distribution center pretty hard to get one.
Awe you kids and your toys. Don’t get hurt.
That is a good saw I like the videos you could use the to cut the big oak I would get a little bit bigger bar hay all them disks you cut off the cherry you can make them into targets for your range you make awesome videos just keep them coming
You’ll love the Mtronic as the saw breaks in some, if you think it’s fast now, wait till you run 10 tanks of fuel through it! I love your videos, very inspiring to get me off the coach and in the woods, back doing what I love! Thanks a lot.
Heck yes i noticed a huge difference after about 10 tanks and my 3rd sharpen of a brand new chain got my angles and gauges where i like them and it cuts like a hot knife in butter
That power-to-weight ratio is awesome!! Bet that one will be hard to give back!!
you sure that log wasn,t made out of butter....wow....sell those discs branded ODWTM,s
Bought one and love it! Upgraded with 3 point WCS felling dawgs & WCS bark box….Awesome!
I did the same - use my every Tuesday on Oak and Maple logs - just WOW !
The specs on this saw are incredible but it's price point pretty much makes it a pro-only saw. I use an Echo 620PW that I got on sale for $518 (taxes incl.). The Echo is a 60cc saw with 4.5 HP and it weighs 14lbs. Dropping a pound and picking up 33% more power seems like a no-brainer until you consider that after taxes I'm going to be looking at a $1,200 price tag for a saw that, at the end of the day, is still just going to be cutting a lot of firewood; something that my Echo already does very well. If I were using my saw on a daily basis then it would totally be worth it but for a weekend warrior it really can't be justified unless you've just got the money to burn and feel the need to have the very best regardless of whether you actually need it or not. I think for the average Joe this saw is just going to be something that we drool over and talk about with our buddy's but I don't see too many non-pros dropping that kind of money on a firewood saw. The only way I might consider it were if I were going to start doing some small milling and I was still going to be doing a lot of firewooding as well and I wanted a saw that could do both. If you don't want to do both though there are saws out there much better for milling alone and their additional weight isn't much of a consideration. Great video Mike!
Echo and Dolmar are a lot of saw for the money, Husky and Stihl pro grades are undoubtedly the most productive but too much $ for the weekend firewood operation.
@@junkersish, 100% agree with that analysis.
i bought the smaller 501p since i already have bigger saws. very satisfied! i didn't think i would liked it since i always been a jonsered/husky fan but it does the job quite well
Mike I watch and love your videos religiously, but here lately everything has been all commercial equipment, not the friendly home owner versions, I dont know anyone the can smartly spend $1,000 on a saw just to cut firewood. Commercial use yes that saw will tear up some wood definitely. Keep up the hard work and keep the videos coming. Have a wonderful day.
I currently have a 362 and am looking to up grade do i do the 462 or save my money and get the 660 I have no need for the 880 would love to run one but to expansive to own one
Wait for the 500i.
I have a 362 and love it but i plan to go to the 500 also
Hold fast mate!
If you don't already have the 661, then waiting for the 500i would be best. If you have the 661 and need an in between the 362 saw, then the 462 is perfect.
I have a 066 (660 new numbers) and a 180C. The 066 has been cutting a 28 in bar for almost 30 years, plus the odd helping an arborist friend. No decom on that 066 but still a great saw. I don't cut much more than 1/2 a bar as a rule but the o66 will handle a full 28 in cut. Cheers. I like Stihl chains too. Seems the sharpening last longer than some brands.
Nice saw but I am a jonsered saw guy hard to change
sad that they don't make them anymore.... now they are called redmaxs and owned by a different company. i love my old 2166!
@@ryy597 - still owned by Husqvarna, as they have been for decades.
@@JohnMcNerney redmax was a cheap chinese company before. they were acquired by husqvarna in 2009. so i guess they rebranded jonsered to redmax? liked the name "jonsered" better
@@ryy597 - Redmax was bought by Husqvarna in 2007. Their North American operations were moved to North Caroline in 2009. I'm not sure when Jonsered started being rolled into RedMax - I think it was just last year. At least they had the sense to keep some of the Jonsered designs
@@JohnMcNerney makes sense now!
I had to go up to a 661 magnum because you cant find any 4-series saws anywhere these days!
Why does everyone cut. Dam cookies. Wtf. Cut firewood.
I watch your videos with my 441 magnum next to me for inspiration. I think it got its feelings hurt tonight. Thanks for the video
Sounds like a billion angry bees as an old automotive tech if I can't work on it I won't own it and it would seem there are no user adjustable settings for the carb or the high/low idle the engine management controls all that it would be a different story if sthil released diagnostic software but I doubt they will do that
yuupyuup m
Saw appears sharper than in yesterday’s video where chips appeared smaller with some dust. Same saw? Where’s the snow that was in the forecast? Better than the rain you were getting yesterday.
Ja Super......
I just bought my 461 last year, maybe in another year or so I might pick up the 462. Great video
I bought a 461 last year too! Had to remove the carb screw limiters to get it to idle. Runs good now sorta heavy - but it makes the chips fly.
@@localcrew I agree it is heavy,but it does throw the chips.I used it a few times on my Alaskan Sawmill.It worked great,but I found a great deal on a Husqvarna 394xp and figured I would use the 394xp on the mill,and not burn up a brand new saw milling lumber,and keep the 461 for cutting trees
Been looking at that exact model to upgrade from my MS 290. Very encouraged by what I have seen so far and look forward to your next video on it. Thanks Mike!
I've been wanting that saw ever since they came out overseas a while ago. My dealer has them on order but they are back ordered right now. Hopefully I'll have one soon.
I was impressed with no matter the cut or thickness it did not bog down at all it just kept cutting. That puppy can cut.
Awesome! I’ve been drooling over one of these for a while. Can’t wait to add one to my “fleet” for firewood!
Its brain is waaay better than mine. Than i can make it sing. “ 🙏 “.
Great video Mike . Nice to see the comparison of these different saws. These kind of videos certainly can help some people in determining what size and model of saw that they wish to purchase . Thanks
I got that saw I’m more impressed with that tractor ya got
Holy Moly Mike, looks like your training for a lumberjack contest. LOL
I have a ms261 cm and upgraded to the 462 when my 036 pro needed replaced. IMO those are the best 2 saws to have in the arsenal.
did you see a big difference in its performance between these two models?
Can you also see how big a bar it can pull without going to different sprocket or a skip tooth chain. Seems like it would make a good medium size felling saw if it could pull at lease a 32".
Itll pull a 32 full house chain perfect is 28 bigger than 32 youll want semi or full skip and a 8 pin sproket
Autograph the cherry plates and put them in your next giveaway!
Great video
Thanks
I just said the same thing 6 hours after you did, scroll down read the comments, and find a like minded person!!
Great saw but can't wait for the 500I!
Yeah I've got the 362cm and love it.🤗
Always use the tractor to lift the logs to you, saves your back.
That is a Fast Saw!!👍👊
MS462 with a bar, chain and fuel weighs in at 19.7 pounds.
Cutting crooked looks like but it’s bad. Every timeI try to sharpen chain it cuts crooked. That’s why I pay my neighbor to sharpen 😂. I wanna see what you think of the 241. People I’ve talked too say it’s their favorite saw to cut with, say it’s crazy how fast it cuts for its size
Lot of folks are "afraid" of m-tronic, claiming it increases the maintenance cost. many repair shop don't/cant work on them and have to ship them back to Stihl for tuning or repair. I am in the market for a Saw now and the religious debate between Stihl / Husq/ Echo is ridiculous. I am leaning toward the Echo CS-590, but then again, I don't know many who regretted buying the tried and true Stihl. Ohh the agony of choice.!!
Very cool Mike. It rips. Thanx for that Demo. How about that morning snow today in western' PA. Take folks.
Looked like you were practicing for a lumberjack competition! You could sand those disks and make Melissa a set of dinner plates. Have you ever thought about a hot saw with a motorcycle engine on it? ;o)
That BTE over molding on the handle wont hold up! Not skookum at all!!
I traded my 362 on a 461 last year. Yes, quite the difference when you step up to the 70 cc range. Personally, after having a 261 and now the 461, I don’t know why I ever bothered with the 362.
Fancy stuff but I have an almost 30 year old 066, (with no decom). Other than the fact it is lots to start, it eats up wood and I don't vary my altitude too much. It handles a 28 to 32 in. bar with ease and weighs not much more than your new one. I googled 'stihl 066' to find the lineage and changes. Now a MS 660. Good saws no doubt. BTW … I just changed the changed the oil tank to pump hose for slow oil leak on my MS180c. Wow. What a job, but I still like my Stihls.
How many hours per year do you put on a saw? How often and $$$ of maintenance ? How many years of hard use can we expect from a new saw? Thanks so much! I really enjoy your videos! Hi to the family, best wishes.
I got a 462cm for Christmas. Unbelievable saw.
dry those pieces you cut, sand and varnish, THEN send me one, I'll mount it on the wall , it would be a lot better than most pictures I have on the wall now, it would make a nice prize for us die hard OWTM's fans
Just out of curiosity , I thought I'd compare the specs between my MS 261C-M and the MS 462C-M, since they are both M-tronic saws.
Model............................261C-M.................................462C-M.................................Differences
Displacement:..............50.2cc...................................72.2cc...................................+22.2cc
Power:..........................3kW (4.02 bhp).....................4.4kW (5.9 bhp)....................+1.88 bhp
Weight: (Powerhead):.10.8 lbs.................................13.2 lbs..................................+2.40 lbs
Gas (Max):...................16.9 fl. oz..............................24.3 fl. oz...............................+7.40 fl. oz.
Bar Oil (Max):...............9.13 fl. oz..............................11.5 fl. oz..............................+2.37 fl. oz.
Rec. Bar Length:..........16"-20"..................................16"-32"....................................+12"
Price (MSRP):..............$780 (CDN)...........................$1410 (CDN).........................+$630.00 (CDN)
NB: When I weighed my MS 261CM with 16" Bar, Chain, Gas and Bar Oil it weighed approx. 14.8 lbs. (Additional 4 lbs)
That would mean that the MS 462CM would weigh approx. 18 lbs. (Additional 4.8 lbs.)
you should give husqvarna a try!
I cut a lot of firewood with a Husqvarna 372xp which is a 70cc saw and a Stihl Farm Boss 290. The 70cc is awesome but sometimes I just need a break.
Looks like a great saw. Time will tell if it holds up. Being that light, I have to wonder wear they saved so much weight. Are the crank and bearings the same size as the 361/362? Seems like they had to skimp on something to pull it off.
Stupid new chainsaws my 460 is better
Love the M Tronic Saws. I have a old 029 Super that is almost 25 years old. It is like my kid. I just got a 261cm It is twice the saw of my 029 Super. Yes the M Tronic saws had issues in the beginning but Stihl got it fixed and they are great.
We run the older model with an 18 inch bar for that reason, it cuts so much better on short bars. It's also when you realise that you can file down the depth gauges further than normal, then they really do cut!
Yea i run a 462 with a 20 light bar and depth gauge low it has quick pick up so as soon as dogs dig in its spiting chips not bogging like if your gauges are low on a longer bar
Weirdest wooden frisbee I've ever seen. 👍fun way to make'em though!
Nice saw but with it all being computers you can't work on it or fix it when it breaks.
Get the facts right it's 5.9 horsepower not 6
Nice saw for sure I just upgraded from a 41 cc husqvarna 5 months ago to a stihl ms660 magnum as my normal firewod saw for myself and my customers and now that is the only saw i use anymore
Hey Mike, liked the saw comparisons. I do like the altitude compensation feature and doesn’t it also compensate for climate change? The more horses is awesome.
Did you forget to wake Melissa this morning? She’s going to be mad, missed her work out this morning 👏🏼
Thanks for sharing with us.
I sure could give that demo saw a workout, the only thing is.. Rual King hasn't returned my calls yet
nice sales pitch
Why are u cutting saw logs Mike. Just kidding love the new saw!!!
Not bad for a rookie. Any advice on care and feeding of fuel? Stabil, non ethanol, Sea Foam ?
Great saw. Biggest downside I personally see is that it doesn’t seem to be user serviceable if someone wants to tinker with the saw. That’s why I bought the 461 this past weekend. At my local Rural King store too. Stay safe out there and don’t have too much fun.
You can get 462 non m tronic
Wow that's seems to cut faster then your old saw! Here I thought you were making some cutting boards for your kitchen😂 . Keep up the good work, that would be awesome to add that to your arsenal of logging equipment 👍
Mike, Husqvarna has been selling a saw like that for decade, without the electronic thought. Never heard of 372xp or Jonsered 2171.
I'm a Husqvarna fan myself, but I have to admit, Stihl has them beat with the 462. The 372XP is 5.5 HP and 14.6#. The 462 is close to 6 HP and 13.2#
You were smiling as much as Ralphie opening up his Official Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred shot range model air rifle!!
:-)
Mike if you would of cut them a little thicker you could use them to make a nice walkway lol!
Mike seems to be an awesome saw I thought the 880 you tried was too gangly even with 3 foot bar curious to what you think?
For me this is not helpful for firewood. You have a big Stihl ms 880 and a ms 362 is perfect for this.😉
The 462 is a great saw but i still believe the MS 500i is gonna be the true Game changer , to compare i think it would be a difference of going from throttle body injection to tuned port... i may be wrong but im very exited to see the 500i soon i hope. Thats what my money is on
www.stihl.com/STIHL-power-tools-A-great-range/Chainsaws/Petrol-chainsaws-for-forestry/287735-131/MS-500i.aspx. hopefully this link works
Yea look forward to those
I’m buying a chainsaw very soon 2/3 weeks.
I hesitate.
Got the idea to buy a MS 261c
but now i????????
If a 261 would actually meet your needs, then the 462 is overkill by a wide margin.
Wonder if it's gonna be the same situation as with alot of this farm equipment these days,with the proprietary software issues and whatnot? From what i understand,alot of this equipment can't be fixed by the farmer/owner anymore because of that. I wonder if this will somehow wind up in the same situation?? Perhaps i'm wrong. Maybe somebody can clear that stuff up for me,who has dealt with it??
That's pretty much the future of chainsaws - actually, more like the present: both Husqvarna and Stihl are have been transitioning to auto-tune saws for some time now.
Nice slices, bet you cut a mean slice of bread🍞 too. 😝
I’m holding out and hoping Stihl sends you the new MS500 to test.
I want 1 of them saws great video need a bigger saw to cut the trees i cut down. Have a great day be safe
wish i could get this saw but sadly i need to buy the 880 next
Is it better than ms 381?
Now you're talking. Been waiting a long time for their US release of this saw.
