- 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.
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
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
STIHL WOOOOOO!!!! Glad to hear they're lightening things up ....my MS 311 was way too heavy
Awe you kids and your toys. Don’t get hurt.
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 !
Awesome! I’ve been drooling over one of these for a while. Can’t wait to add one to my “fleet” for firewood!
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! 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.
That power-to-weight ratio is awesome!! Bet that one will be hard to give back!!
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
Love those large coasters you cut:) a truly outstanding saw and lumberjack!
I got a 462cm for Christmas. Unbelievable saw.
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?
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 was impressed with no matter the cut or thickness it did not bog down at all it just kept cutting. That puppy can cut.
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
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?
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
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.
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.
That is a Fast Saw!!👍👊
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!
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+.
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
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
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
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 👍
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
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
Nice cutting.
Yeah I've got the 362cm and love it.🤗
Just bought this saw today! Can't wait to sink it into some wood! Great video!
Very cool Mike. It rips. Thanx for that Demo. How about that morning snow today in western' PA. Take folks.
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
Holy Moly Mike, looks like your training for a lumberjack contest. LOL
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.
I love my 460 magnum with full skip chain 🤘
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.
Nice saw. I love my stihl power tools as well.
Big coasters Mike.
That BTE over molding on the handle wont hold up! Not skookum at all!!
Great saw but can't wait for the 500I!
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 my next saw.
Enjoy that saw!
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
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
I had to go up to a 661 magnum because you cant find any 4-series saws anywhere these days!
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
I watch several other channels!

Funny thing is he does not have a real job... Multi-level Marketing of these oils ppl buy to feel better!
Mike: I got the 462 last year from Europe before they became available in the US this year (and saved some $$, too!). It is amazing. A bit lighter than the new Husky 572xp. It has a lot of "pull" into the wood, much like the old muscle saws used to but at a fraction of the weight. I just love chainsaws ! (cheaper than boats or cars!) Hope you enjoy it!
That saw Rips!
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.
Mike sewing so you got the stihl hook up you should get a saw in artic model with the heated grips 👍🏻
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.☔
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!!
I got that saw I’m more impressed with that tractor ya got
Nice saw
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
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.
Went with the Dolmar 7910 not the Makita great saw !
Had ms 290 was not happy !
smokeinggta 89
I have heard husky is a great saw, seen lots of videos like this one!
Its brain is waaay better than mine. Than i can make it sing. “ 🙏 “.
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 looked online to find how much the 462 C-M is and saw prices ranging from 1,600 to 2,400 bucks. That's insane. Looks like a nice saw.
jpprind it’s about 1100 where I am (ny)
I got mine for 2200 nz dollars
Great video as always :)
I got a 462 but without the M-Tronic system. The saw really is a game changer. I compared it to the MS 440 that belongs to my neighbor and I must say it is noticeably stronger and faster but also lighter, which results in a smiling face while using the 462. It can handle all the wood that is in my forest (oak and beech mostly - up to 1m in diameter). Since I will be using it for firewood for myself and helping out my Family and Friends (30-40m³ of firewood /year) I am guessing that the saw will serve me well for decades (with proper care and maintenance of course). So far I am very satisfied with it.
Keep the videos coming :)
Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegowina
Are you sure there is a ms462 without the m-tronic. I can't find it at all on any website.
That is amazing timing. I've been looking at upgrading recently from my MS290. Don't get me wrong it is a great saw but I need something that can handle a larger bar. I was originally looking at an MS441 Magnum but might've changed my mind. Looking forward to the full review and comparison with the MS362. Thanks for sharing and reading my mind!
Great job enjoyed that
Now you're talking. Been waiting a long time for their US release of this saw.
nice sales pitch
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.
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
I like! !!
Mike if you would of cut them a little thicker you could use them to make a nice walkway lol!
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.
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.
That thing is a beast! I personally can't justify upgrading my chainsaws for what I do. We don't cut and sell firewood, we are still clearing our property. I have the MS-271 which does just fine for my needs as well as a couple of smaller Echo and Craftsman chainsaws. I wouldn't mind having a few of those slivers that you cut up. I could make a few nice things with some of those.
I agree, heck of a saw but a little over kill for most guys. If you needed a saw everyday all day though this would be a great choice
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.
wish i could get this saw but sadly i need to buy the 880 next
Good evening. I've got a 660 Magnum. Bought it with a 28" & 34" bars. The 34 keeps me from bending over all day. But I'm looking for a smaller saw when I don't have a big tree. I dropped right at $1565. Saw bars chains & a pack of full synthetic oil. That 362 391 & 462 are what I'm bouncing around.
Get the 462 you will love it its perfect with the 20 inch light bar if you want a short bar but it will spin a 28 easy
Took delivery of my MS462 2wks ago. 20 & 25" bars. Been super busy hauling propane. Saw is super light. Haven't had time to let it eat yet.
Saw both bars & a pack of mix oil otd $1399.00
Chains and 2 gallons of bar oil as well.
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!)
I’m holding out and hoping Stihl sends you the new MS500 to test.
Always use the tractor to lift the logs to you, saves your back.
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.
Nice looking cookies partner. ;
MS462 with a bar, chain and fuel weighs in at 19.7 pounds.
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!
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?
You had me at the repetitive precision of cutting those thin biscuits one after another!
In your next saw video could you talk about the fuel you use? Have you tried the engineered fuel that has a long shelf life or 100% fuel vs ethanol. Since you cut a lot of wood you've probably got some preferences. Thanks.
I buy ethanol free gas for all my small engine equipment
@@NorthForkHollow took me 26 years to figure that out.
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans where at Mike? Can you say? Glassmere in Cheswick Pa ( close to me) sells it but wont be delivered till April .
@@JohnSmith-tv5ep Purvis Brothers in Mars
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans THANKS MIKE!
i feel like a kid watching tv commercials at Christmas time, i want that, i want that, i want that, ok you get the hint. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Not bad for a rookie. Any advice on care and feeding of fuel? Stabil, non ethanol, Sea Foam ?
Thanks Mike, I think as long as the Lord don't return I'll have a day. LOL Ron :)
When daughter Eva was real little she used to say that to everyone. Instead of "have a good day" she would just say "have a day"! Lol. It stuck
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#
Weirdest wooden frisbee I've ever seen. 👍fun way to make'em though!
That is just about as fast as the souped up ones the pros use in competitions
I sure could give that demo saw a workout, the only thing is.. Rual King hasn't returned my calls yet
Why are u cutting saw logs Mike. Just kidding love the new saw!!!
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.
